Roommates, Young Thug didn’t waste any time clearing the air about a move from prosecutors against his limited freedom. As previously reported, the rapper is serving a 15-year probation bid after accepting a plea deal in October 2024. On Wednesday (April 2), the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office filed a motion asking a judge to revoke Jeffrey Williams’ probation. The move comes after Thugger blasted DA Marissa Viverito in a now-deleted social media post.

Details About Motion Filed By Fulton County Prosecutors
Fulton County prosecutors are seemingly gunning for the Atlanta rapper to serve his “backlogged” 20 years in prison. Their court motion accuses him of engaging in “conduct that threatens the safety of witnesses and prosecutors” and “compromises ongoing legal proceedings.” As a result, the prosecutors are seeking “immediate revocation of probation,” court documents state. The paperwork also called the artist “a clear and present danger to public safety.”
As mentioned, the STRONG motion against Young Thug comes after he blasted Marissa Viverito on X, formerly Twitter.
What To Know About Rapper’s Trial & Probation Terms
You might recall how Young Thug’s trial went viral for how it DRAGGED. Ultimately, the proceedings claimed the title of the longest trial in Georgia history. Jury selection alone took 10 months, and testimony didn’t start until November 2023. By that time, it had been more than a year since Atlanta officials took Thugger into custody for conspiracy and racketeering charges in May 2022.
Nearly a year after the trial started, Young Thug agreed to plead guilty to six counts of gang-related activities. However, he pled no contest to a count related to leading a street gang and to one count of conspiracy to violate the RICO act.
In a hearing, a judge seemingly granted the rapper a lil’ grace despite prosecutors seeking 25 years in prison and another 20 on probation. Instead, Thugger got sentenced to 40 years, which included five years in prison. However, that time was commuted to time served. The judge also “backloaded” the additional 20 years. If Thugger violates his probation, he will automatically have to serve out that time.
Additional probation terms included a 10-year ban from the Atlanta metro area. He’s also required to host four concerts or events denouncing gang violence while being careful not to glorify gangs in any way. Young Thug did get permission to travel for work, though.
