Meek¡¯s attorney Joe Tacopina has publicly claimed Brinkley showed ¡°enormous bias¡± against the star and acted ¡°inappropriately¡± by repeatedly asking the rapper to drop his current management, Roc Nation, and sign with Philly music figure Charlie Mack, whom Meek worked with early in his career.

A source told us of the FBI interest in the case, ¡°The feds have an interest in the judge and [her] potential relationships. This is an investigation looking into a possible extortionate demand. Undercover agents have been in the courtroom monitoring the Meek proceedings since April 2016.¡±

The source continued, ¡°Mack had previously told Meek how he ¡®knows the judge and he could help him with his case.¡¯ ¡±

But Mack insisted he doesn¡¯t know Brinkley: ¡°I¡¯ve spent more time talking to you than I ever talked to the judge. There is no conspiracy, Meek is an old friend of 30-plus years.¡±

Brinkley also is said to have asked Meek ¡ª in her private chambers in front of Meek¡¯s then-girlfriend Nicki Minaj ¡ª to record a Boyz II Men song and give a positive shoutout to Brinkley in the lyrics. Mack manages the R&B group.
