Meek Mill's 2012 classic "Dream and Nightmares (Intro)" was the unofficial song of Super Bowl LII.

Before the game, we saw the Philadelphia Eagles come out to the song. And then, later that night, after the Eagles beat the New England Patriots 41-33, numerous videos of fans and players celebrating to the song started to leak.

It was a bittersweet moment for Meek Mill, who is currently incarcerated for two to four years after violating the terms of his probation. On Monday, NBCs John Clark talked to Meek. He asked the rapper about what it felt like seeing the Eagles embrace his song. Meek responded with a statement, which Clark puton his Instagram:

Last night, I felt especially proud to be from the great city of Philadelphia. All the heart that the Eagles showed in winning the Super Bowl has given the best fans in the world real hope and inspiration and Im truly humbled.

I wish my current situation was different, and that I could be with my brothers on that team, and the other Eagles fans, in celebrating this once-in-a-lifetime experience. But I have faith that truth and justice will win out in the end.
