Young Thug Scores Legal Victory as Judge Denies Probation Revocation Attempt
In a major development in Young Thug’s ongoing legal saga, Judge Paige Reese Whitaker has ruled against the state of Georgia’s motion to revoke the rapper’s probation. The attempt came after the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office accused Thug of violating the terms of his probation through social media posts targeting law enforcement officials.
Young Thug Avoids Probation Revocation After Court Ruling
Young Thug just scored a major legal win. Judge Paige Reese Whitaker denied the state of Georgia’s request to revoke the rapper’s probation, pushing back against claims of online threats and intimidation.
Why Prosecutors Wanted Thug Back in Jail
On April 2, 2025, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office accused Young Thug of breaking probation rules. Their argument centered on posts he made targeting Investigator Marissa Viverito of the Atlanta Police Department.
In one post, Thug shared a photo of Viverito with the caption, “biggest liar in the DA office.” Another reportedly read, “All my homies hate Viverito.”
Prosecutors said those posts led to Viverito’s home address, and even her parents’ address, being leaked online. They also claimed one message encouraged followers to “pull up on her mama crib.” Another post allegedly threatened District Attorney Fani Willis.
Judge Paige Reese Whitaker Says No
After reviewing both sides, Judge Whitaker ruled in Thug’s favor. She declined to revoke probation based on the evidence presented.
“The Court declines to revoke Defendant’s probation based on the violation asserted,” Whitaker wrote in her decision on April 3, 2025.
Young Thug Responds Online
Thug quickly responded on X (formerly Twitter) and denied all accusations of making threats.
“I don’t make threats to people. I’m a good person,” he wrote. “I would never condone or participate in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love.”
He maintained that his words expressed frustration, not threats.
Recap of Thug’s 2024 Plea Deal
Back in October 2024, Young Thug took a plea deal in a major RICO case. He received a 40-year sentence, with five years counted as time served and 15 years of probation.
To stay out of prison, Thug must follow strict rules, including avoiding posts that could be seen as threatening or inciting violence.
What’s Next in the Case?
Although Judge Whitaker sided with Thug this time, the DA’s office may continue pushing forward. More legal action could follow if new issues come up.
This case continues to raise questions about free speech, probation limits, and celebrity accountability.
