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.

No Filter: Reebok's CEO Says Rick Ross "Has Stupid Advisors Around Him"

Rick Ross getting booted by Reebok is fresh on plenty of people's minds today because of Lil Wayne sort of apologizing to Emmett Till's family. Reebok's CEO has commented on the Rozay today, and he was very candid.

During the FN (Footwear News) CEO Summit going on in Miami right now, Uli Becker mentioned the former Reebok Classics spokesman. 

"It's unfortunate because he's a great guy, he just has stupid advisors around him," Footwear News reports, via a Twitter, that the Reebok CEO said.

Damn.

Rozay did bungle the "U.O.E.N.O." lyrics controversy. Ross did offer a mea culpa in a more timely manner than Weezy, who like the MMG rapper didn't apologize until it became evident that not doing so could affect his wallet since the Till family saying they would pressure Mountain Dew to drop the rapper as a spokesman. However, Ross apologized three different times (the first on radio, the second via Twitter and the third through a press statement).

However, it was too little too late as Reebok severed ties with him before the third apology, citing that the rapper failed to "display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse."

Safe bet Rick Ross will be paying more attention to his PR flacks advice moving forward.

Another L: Rick Ross Sued For 170K By Talent Agency

Rick Ross is dealing with yet another potential financial setback. Total Access Talentagency claims the rapper hired them last November to book and organize a month's worth of tours, but stiffed them out of their 10% cut after they had already arranged dates and prepared contracts with acts such as Machine Gun Kelly, Meek Mill and Wale.  According to TMZ, Total Access was comfortable doing business with Ross because they had been booking his shows since 2004 without any problems.

 So comfortable in fact, they arranged this tour via a verbal agreement.

The company filed a lawsuit in a federal court in Miami this week. They are seeking at least $171,000 in unpaid commissions.
