It looks like Meek Mill’s troubles with the law are continuing to affect his budding music career. Mill, a.k.a. Robert Williams, was detained a few months back on the day that one of his release parties was set. Well, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Judge Genece Brinkley ruled today that he will not be allowed to travel for concerts and other music-related appearances because of his probation stemming from an arrest in January 2007 where he was booked for his involvement in drugs, guns and an assault. He chose a nonjury trial, and in August 2008, Meek was found guilty of assault, four counts involving carrying an unlicensed gun in public, and two drug counts. He was sentenced to 11 to 23 months in prison, and served eight months – being released to five years of probation, which he still has about three years to complete. Mill was supposed to be in Los Angeles on Wednesday to perform on the Conan O’Brien show. It would have been his last stop in the U.S. before ending 2012 in Africa with shows in Lagos, Nigeria and Libreville, Gabon, which have already been cancelled due to the uncertain outcome of today’s hearing. Meek Mill will continue to remain in Philly so that he can periodically appear in court for his probation hearings.
