Meek Mill is speaking out about what he says is unfair targeting by law enforcement. The 38-year-old rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday (Nov. 5) to express frustration after being stopped by police over alleged firearm possession—even though he says he is licensed to carry in more than 40 states.
“Just thinking about how the cops blitz me for a firearm,” he wrote. “I got firearm license in like 40+ states … I also be with people that’s license to carry in NYC … somebody help me get my license in all states so I can remove that stuff from even chasing me to mess my life up.”

His comments appear to refer to an encounter with New York City police last weekend. Early Saturday morning, Meek told fans he had been detained outside a nightclub.
“They just pulled me out the car and cuffed me in front of the whole club,” he wrote. “I’m not scared to go outside without a gun … they had guns in my face for no reason smh. I thought it was a prank.”
In a follow-up post, he claimed, “They tryna get me.”
According to TMZ, the situation began when officers responded to a report of someone having a gun inside a vehicle. Three men, including the rapper, were questioned, but police did not find any weapon and released everyone involved.

Meek Mill’s frustration comes after years of navigating the criminal justice system—something that ultimately led him to become a vocal advocate for reform. Alongside Jay-Z and several major business leaders, he co-founded the REFORM Alliance, an organization focused on changing probation and parole laws across the U.S.
His activism stems from personal experience. In 2009, Meek was jailed on gun and drug charges. In 2017, he was sentenced to two to four years for probation violations—a sentence that sparked public outrage and was later overturned, resulting in his release after five months.
In 2023, Meek stood beside Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as the state signed legislation aimed at changing probation laws. Reflecting on his journey, he said, “We tried to be better but they labeled us as felons. I had to fight against that the whole time to gain my respect and be who I am today, and I’m proud of that.”
