Prosecutors Seek to Revoke Young Thug's Probation Over Alleged Threats

Prosecutors in Fulton County have filed a motion to revoke rapper Young Thug's probation, alleging that his recent social media posts endangered the safety of a crucial witness and undermined judicial proceedings. The motion cites specific instances where Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, reposted a photo of investigator Marissa Viverito, violating a court order that prohibited her identification. In response, Williams has denied making threats, asserting on X that he is a 'good person' and promotes peace. His attorney called the motion 'baseless' and expressed confidence in seeking its dismissal. The filing claims that Williams' behavior represents a 'calculated campaign of intimidation,' with prosecutors arguing that his influence exacerbates the risk to public safety. Young Thug is currently on probation following a plea deal related to racketeering and gang charges, which includes a potential 20-year sentence if he violates probation terms.
