Young Thug Faces Probation Revocation Amid Alleged Witness Intimidation on Social Media
April 3, 2025
The motion claims that Young Thug violated probation terms by reposting a social media post that revealed the identity of a witness, Investigator Marissa Viverito, on April 1, 2025.
Prosecutors argue that this post demonstrates a blatant disregard for the law and jeopardizes the safety of witnesses and the integrity of the judicial process.
Young Thug has responded to a motion filed by prosecutors seeking to revoke his probation, citing alleged threats made on social media.
The DA's office contends that Young Thug's comments have incited online speculation and harassment, potentially interfering with ongoing legal proceedings.
Included in the motion are threats made against Viverito and District Attorney Fani Willis, raising serious concerns about safety and intimidation.
The court has the authority to revoke probation if a defendant engages in new criminal acts or violates terms that threaten public safety.
One of the threatening posts reportedly included a direct death threat against District Attorney Willis, marking a severe escalation in intimidation tactics.
His probation prohibits him from associating with known gang members or promoting gang activity, which prosecutors allege he has violated.
Despite the legal challenges, Young Thug is scheduled to perform at the Summer Smash Festival in June 2025, marking his first performance since his release from jail.
As of now, a hearing on the motion to revoke his probation has yet to be scheduled by the Fulton County Superior Court.
Young Thug, who has been jailed for over two years, accepted a plea agreement earlier in 2025 that allowed him to avoid further incarceration under strict probation terms.
Under the terms of his probation, he faces strict conditions, including a ban from the metro Atlanta area for 10 years and requirements for random searches and drug tests.
