Jay Z is all for helping someone who is in legal trouble and shouldn’t be, according to him.
He helped Meek Mill, 21 Savage and now an 11-year-old boy named Jabari Talbot.
Back in February, Talbot was ARRESTED at his school for refusing to say the pledge of allegiance. Activists like Shaun King called the arrest unlawful and unnecessary.
Talbot was facing criminal charges and prosecutors wanted him to plead guilty or go into a program. He refused both and luckily since Jay Z and Roc Nation stepped in, the case was dismissed.
Take a look at what Roc Nation said about the situation:
The system tried to force Jabari Talbot into diversion. Jabari did not commit a crime. Guilty plea refused. Case dismissed. We applaud and support you Jabari. #JabariTalbot pic.twitter.com/H5MKzQ6bdK
