In December Minaj had testified on behalf on her boyfriend who has had several run-ins with the law. Speaking in court Mill said: “I believe I can be the bright star you expect me to be.” Later Mill added that he blamed his problems on the struggles of fame. "Early in my career, I was caught up between money and success,” he said.

Mill’s legal problems began in 2008 when he was convicted for drug possession and carrying a gun without a license. He served eight months in prison and then began a five year probation term in 2009.

The rapper has violated his probation a number of times and in 2014 it was revoked and he was sentenced to four months in prison, getting released in December 2014. In December 2015 he was accused of violating his parole by ignoring travel rules and submitting a ‘suspicious urine sample,’ according to the LA. Times.
