Meek Mill has had a year to forget. Since becoming embroiled in a huge hip-hop beef with megastar Drake, the ‘All Eyes On You’ rapper’s popularity has slumped massively. And his 2015 looks to be getting even worse, after being found guilty of violating his probation.

The 28-year-old artist could face a prison sentence after a judge in Philadelphia ruled that he had breached the conditions of his probation by ignoring travel restrictions.

While Mill awaits sentencing, on 5 February, he has been ordered not to work or perform, except for community service.

Born Robert Williams, Mill was convicted of a gun charge in 2008 and served time in jail as well as receiving probation. Last year, he was sentenced to five months in jail for violating probation.

Mill had been in court fighting the case over the last two weeks. According to ABC News, he testified to the court claiming his “whole life is on the line.” His girlfriend Nicki Minaj also appeared in court to testify on his behalf.
