Proper Posture LMAO: Meek Mill Ordered To Take Etiquette Classes

A judge in Philadelphia has ordered rapper Meek Mill to attend etiquette classes, based on his actions in court, in public and on social networks.

Meek Mill must take the classes by August, as part of his court-ordered probation, Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley said recently.

Judge Brinkley said Meek, who is on probation for a 2008 conviction for drug dealing and gun possession, has “a lot of issues.”

The rapper appeared at his latest probation hearing, where Judge Brinkley and prosecutors said that his posts on social networks, as well as his conduct in public, could “affect his freedom.”

The judge apparently received threats from fans of Meek Mill, after the rapper posted several inflammatory messages.

Additionally, Judge Brinkley and prosecutors claimed that Meek continued to travel without permission from his probation officer.

Meek Mill, who is recording a new album and going on a court approved tour, must take the etiquette classes by August 4.

Over A Video Game?: Murder Of Lil Snupe, Argued Over Video Game

On June 20, Lil Snupe was shot and killed in an apartment complex in the town of Winnield, La. A local resident with a rap sheet the includes drug charges, forcible r@pe, second-degree kidnapping and battery with a dangerous weapon has been identified as a suspect in the 18-year-old rapper's murder.

The Shreveport Times reports that authorities have ID'd 36-year-old Tony D. Holden as Snupe's killer. 

Holden has been charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Warrants have been issued for each of the aforementioned charges.

Holden remains at large—he stands 5' 8", weighs around 215 pounds, has black hair and brown eyes—and police say he should be considered armed and dangerous.

Reportedly, Holden and Snupe, born Addarren Ross, were having an argument in the apartment that spilled outside. Snupe, who signed a record deal with Maybach Music Group rapper Meek Mill's Dreamchasers label last year, was shot twice in the torso and declared dead at the scene by the coroner.

The cause of the argument that led to the promising rapper's demise? A bet on a video game.

"We are told they were betting on a video game," Winnfield police Lt. Charles Curry told the Shreveport Times. "Supposedly he (Holden) robbed him (Ross) of money."
