Roommates, Young Thug didn’t waste any time clearing the air a few 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 security of witnesses and prosecutors” and “compromises ongoing legal proceedings.” Because of this, the prosecutors are looking for “immediate revocation of probation.” The court documents also labeled the artist “a transparent and present danger to public safety.”
As mentioned, the STRONG motion against Young Thug comes after he blasted Marissa Viverito on X, formerly Twitter. In accordance with the court documents, Viverito is testifying in a multi-defendant gang murder preliminary hearing. A judge previously banned the media from showing her face during testimony, but that order was allegedly ignored by an unnamed blogger.
On April 1, Thugger shared the district attorney’s image on X, writing, “Marissa Viverito is the largest liar within the DA’s office.” His tweet got a minimum of two million views and multiple comments and replies, especially some dragging Viverito. The post is not any longer available on Thugger’s profile.
Fulton County prosecutors are alleging that Young Thug’s post inspired a wave of threats against Viverito. One stan allegedly exposed the attorney’s home address and her parent’s home address. One other shared a post encouraging people to “pull up” on Marissa’s mother. Meanwhile, a 3rd cited example was a post threatening the assassination of Fani Willis, who attempted to take Thugger down within the RICO trial.
“This ongoing manipulation of public perception through social media is meant to obstruct justice, silence witnesses, and threaten those that implement the law,” the court documents said.
Prosecutors are claiming Thugger violated his probation terms by threatening public safety along with his tweet and other social media posts. “The integrity of this Court and the security of those involved on this prosecution are at stake. The Defendant’s probation ought to be immediately revoked to stop further harm, ensure compliance with the law, and send a transparent message that witness intimidation and threats against public officials is not going to be tolerated,” the documents state.
Young Thug Shares Statement After Motion News Spreads
Prosecutors want the court to remand Young Thug into custody immediately. Nevertheless, the attorneys are also open to a right away hearing to revoke or modify Thugger’s probation terms. Not only that, the District Attorney’s Office wants the rapper to reimburse them for his or her team’s heightened security. Amid the news of the prosecutor’s motion, Thugger circled back to X with a lil’ PSA about himself. As mentioned, the Marissa tweet is not any longer visible on his public page. It has over 700,000 views and climbing.
“I don’t make treats to people I’m person, I’d never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely take part in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love,” Young Thug wrote.
What To Know About Rapper’s Trial & Probation Terms
You may recall how Young Thug’s trial went viral for the way 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 point, it had been greater than a 12 months since Atlanta officials took Thugger into custody for conspiracy and racketeering charges in May 2022.
Nearly a 12 months after the trial began, Young Thug agreed to plead guilty to 6 counts of gang-related activities. Nevertheless, he pled no contest to a count related to leading a street gang and to at least one count of conspiracy to violate the RICO act.
In a hearing, a judge seemingly granted the rapper a lil’ grace despite prosecutors looking for 25 years in prison and one other 20 on probation. As a substitute, Thugger got sentenced to 40 years, which included five years in prison. Nevertheless, that point was commuted to time served. The judge also “backloaded” the extra 20 years. If Thugger violates his probation, he’ll robotically must serve out that point.
Additional probation terms included a 10-year ban from the Atlanta metro area. He’s also required to host 4 concert events or events denouncing gang violence while being careful to not glorify gangs in any way. Young Thug did get permission to travel for work, though.
