Meek Mill sat down with Lester Holt for his first interview since his release. In a sneak preview of the interview that is due to air as an upcoming Dateline NBC special, the pair discussed the 30-year-old’s journey.
Meek Mill who was released from prison earlier this week told Holt: “I haven’t slept one minute since I’ve been out of prison.
“It’s actually like a culture shock coming from a small cell back into the real world, so I think my body has to adjust at this point.”
When asked if he felt free, the rapper answered with a resounding no. “I don’t feel free. I ain’t feel free since I caught this case at the age of 19, I’m 30 now,” he added.
The sneak interview also featured Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, who supported his release on bail, and 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin, who flew Meek to the Sixers game on Tuesday night on a private helicopter.
“I’ve got a lot of responsibility, I’ve got a lot of important people depending on me,’ Meek said towards the end of the short teaser.
“I’m talking about the men that’s depending on me going through the same thing I’m going through.”
In November, Meek was sentenced to 2 years after Judge Genece E. Brinkley ruled that he had violated probation from a 2008 drug and weapons case after being arrested for fighting at a St. Louis airport in March, and again in August for recklessly driving his motorcycle in NYC.
