Jeremy ‘Hot Felon’ Meeks has had his fair share of run-ins with the law, becoming famous thanks to his sexy 2014 mugshot.

And the California-born model is using his platform to speak up against the systemic racism that led to another black man’s death by police. 

He marched shirtless Saturday through Los Angeles as he joined the nationwide protests over the racially-charged killing of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis.

The 36-year-old kept his face covered with a blue bandana as a precaution against the coronavirus pandemic.

He held his fist in the air as he marched through the upscale Beverly Hills neighborhood with fellow protesters. 

Meeks took to his Instagram story during the march, showing the crowds chanting and someone giving a speech at an intersection.

He turned the camera on himself at one point, saying: ‘No justice, no motherf***ing peace. Brought this on yourself. Prosecute or suffer the wrath of the people. The people are fed up. This is your guys’ fault.’

Ex-police officer Derek Chauvin was charged Friday with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter after a video surfaced of himself crushing Floyd’s neck with his knee. 

Protests have broken out across the country with peaceful demonstrations escalating to riots thanks to anarchist inciters and the heavy presence of police and the National Guard.

Meeks opened up about his own path to prison in September for What’s Your Water?: ‘At a really young age, I got put on to the hood and from there, I moved out of the house at 15 and was in the streets.’
