PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Meek Mill is testifying in a Philadelphia courtroom and insists he never intentionally ignored travel restrictions or other probation rules.
The 28-year-old rapper, born Robert Williams, hopes to avoid going back to jail over a 2009 drug and gun conviction.
He says he knows his “whole life is on the line” every time he checks in with probation.

Mill says he has dropped old friends from his entourage to spend time with his family and girlfriend Nicki Minaj.
Prosecutors say he ignored rules about letting the court know about his travel plans. The defense says the music business is chaotic.
Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley sent the entertainer back to jail for five months last year for similar violations.
Minaj is in court Thursday and says she will help him stay out of trouble.
