Nicki Minaj’s rapper boyfriend Meek Mill was meant to play a New Year’s Eve show in Las Vegas with his superstar girlfriend, but will instead be in Philadelphia performing community service under the watchful eye of his probation officer, Treas Underwood.

Mill’s been ordered to remain in Philly after a series of hearings in his hometown over violation of probation from a 2008 conviction, and been told by a judge to stay put till a Feb. 5 sentencing.

But insiders wonder whether Mill’s probation woes are in part due to his probation’s officer’s “obsession” with having a famous client.

“She keeps showing up to his community service, which is not common,” a source said. “She has 122 other cases, but she has it out for him. Probation is supposed to be a rehabilitative thing, but she will do anything to keep him on probation.”

Sources claim Mill and Underwood have a history, though she won’t acknowledge personally knowing the rapper before taking his case.

“She’s from his neighborhood and he had an altercation with her cousin Coo when they were younger,” said a source.

We’re told Mill’s been trying to get her removed from his case ever since.

A giggling Underwood first pretended to be someone else when we reached her for comment, but then ’fessed up it was her and wished us a happy holiday before directing us to call her boss, who did not comment.
