Young Thug Denies Making Threats After Prosecutors Seek to Revoke His Probation

The rapper was accused of engaging in “conduct that threatens the safety of witnesses and prosecutors”

Fulton County prosecutors have filed a motion to revoke the probation of Grammy-winning rapper Young Thug, who was released from jail in October 2024.

According to Channel 2 Action News, prosecutors accused the artist, born Jeffery Williams, of having “engaged in conduct that threatens the safety of witnesses and prosecutors, compromises ongoing legal proceedings, and warrants immediate revocation of probation.” The filing continues to claim that “the integrity of this court, and the safety of those involved in this prosecution are at stake.”

Williams took to X following news of the motion, writing, “I don’t make treats to people I’m a good person, I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participate in threatening anyone.” He added, “I’m all about peace and love.”

A representative for Williams did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.

The rapper spent more than two years behind bars after he was arrested and charged in the massive YSL gang case. He secured his release after pleading no contest to racketeering and gang charges, as well as guilty to drug, gun, and a lesser gang charge.

Williams was sentenced to time served, 15 years of probation, and a “backloaded” consecutive sentence of 20 years that would go into effect if he violates the terms of his probation. Per the terms, the artist is prohibited from associating with other known gang members or co-defendants in the trial (except his frequent collaborator Gunna). Williams is also barred from promoting gang activity in any way, must stay away from the Atlanta metro area for 10 years (with the exception of significant events such as weddings or funerals), and must give several anti-gang and anti-violence presentations.

He is scheduled to co-headline Summer Smash Festival with Don Toliver x Yeat, and Future in June, which will be his first performance since being released.
