Colin Kaepernick: I Spoke To Meek Mill In Jail, Here's His Message To Fans

Two weeks ago, Meek Mill was sentenced back to prison for two to four years for violating his probation. Since then, fans and fellow celebs have been protesting his incarceration. 

From T.I., DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, JAY-Z, Drake and more; people believe that Meek doesn't need to be in prison again because he's been on the straight and narrow; and his growth has also been shown by the tons of philanthropic work that Meek's been doing over the past few months. 

One person who's known for standing up -- or kneeling down -- for change in society is former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. On Monday (Nov. 20), the athlete revealed that he had a conversation with Meek about his sentencing. "Spoke to Meek Mill & he wanted ppl to know regardless of his unjust situation, he’s in good spirits & humbled by the support the people have shown him," Kap tweeted. "We'll continue to fight against the harsh sentencing practices that have affected Meek & millions of other POC for generations."

Check out the ball player's message about Meek below. 

This tweet comes just days after Kap posted a note about Meek's prison sentence on IG. In this post, Kap said: "Meek Mill is a victim of this systemic oppression.Yes, there needs to be action surrounding sentencing reform, but there needs to also be action taken around abolishing the radicalized norms of injustice that can lead to Meek Mill serving 2-4 years in prison for non-violent parole violations, and Brock Turner only serving 3 months in prison for three felony counts of sexual assault."
