Between two California stops on his concert tour, rapper Meek Mill flew across the country to talk about criminal justice reform at the 13th annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Friday morning.
“I wanted to come here myself, be in front of you guys, and bring awareness to what’s going on deep down in America,” he told the crowd, less than 24 hours after performing at the Hollywood Palladium Thursday night.
Mill, who said he went straight to the airport after his show and didn’t sleep on the plane, was joined on stage by his friend and business partner, Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin.
