*Meek Mill may be behind bars, but his presence will be felt at the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Before battling the New England Patriots, the rapper’s hometown Philadelphia Eagles will take the field to Mill’s track “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro), according to NFL.com.
“If you’re going to go with a Philly song,” defensive end Brandon Graham said, of the title track from Mill’s 2012 album. “that’s the one you’re going with.”
“Meek, you know, he’s locked up right now,” rookie defensive end Derek Barnett said, “so we have to hold the city down for him.”
In November, Mill was sentenced to two to four years in Pennsylvania state prison for probation violations regarding assault and reckless endangerment. Both of those charges have since been dropped. The Philly rapper had been on probation since 2008 after getting convicted on drug dealing and gun possession charges.
Meek has yet to comment on the announcement that he’ll be soundtracking the Birds as they enter the field on Sunday. But he released a statement to NBC Philadelphia last week about his music serving as inspiration all season long.
“It really lifted my spirit to hear the team rally around my songs because that’s why I make music—to inspire others and bring people together,” Mill said. “The Eagles have also motivated me with the way they’ve overcome tough situations and injuries to succeed this year.”
