In August, Philly emcee AR-AB jumped into the Drake-Meek fray with a brutal 'Back To Back' freestyle directed at Meek.

In it, he accused Meek of being a bitch, paying for protection, and taking it anally from Nicki Minaj.

But, surprisingly, the man who calls himself "the top goon in Philly" had a sympathetic take on Meek Mill's courtroom behavior earlier this month.

Meek had told a judge he's no gangster and got emotional on the stand while trying to avoid punishment for parole violations.

"At the end of the day, he a rapper now," AR-AB in an interview with Mikey T The Movie Star. "He a rapper. [He’s not] gonna shoot nobody or sell no drugs. He’d be stupid. You break a million dollars and you go out here and get a four and a half, you’d be stupid. Fuck around with a gun, four and a half. That’d be stupid. You a millionaire. You ain’t no gangster no more…But that man took the stand in his own defense…You tell the judge what the fuck he gotta hear…He do what he had to do. Everybody should understand that though. You shouldn’t judge a man for saying what he got to say to get his ass out of jail."
