Meek Mill is speaking out after a tense encounter with police in New York City that left him feeling humiliated. Video clips circulating online show the rapper in handcuffs surrounded by officers outside a popular nightclub early Saturday morning. The situation quickly drew attention from fans and the media as Meek tried to make sense of what happened.

According to reports, the incident occurred around 4 a.m. outside Harbor NYC in Midtown Manhattan. Police said they were responding to a tip from a security guard who thought someone in Meek’s vehicle might be carrying a gun. Officers stopped the car, detained Meek, and searched the vehicle. No weapon was found, and he was eventually released without charges.

After the video spread online, Meek turned to social media to share his side of the story. He told followers he was embarrassed by the encounter and confused about why it happened. “They tryna get me,” he wrote. “They just pulled me out the car and cuffed me in front of the whole club embarrassed the sh*t out of me in nyc ! 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.” His post drew sympathy from fans who expressed frustration over what they viewed as unnecessary treatment.

The rapper has dealt with legal challenges before. In January 2023, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf pardoned him for his 2008 drug and firearm convictions that once landed him in prison. Meek celebrated that moment by thanking supporters and promising to give back to his community. He wrote, “Thankyall I’m only gone do more for my community on god! #newlevelsunlocked.”

While this recent encounter ended without charges, it reignited conversations about how Meek is often caught in troubling situations despite efforts to move forward with his life and career.
