Judge Rules Young Thug's Tweets Don't Violate Probation

**UPDATE: 4:30 pm, April 3, 2025**

A judge has ruled that Young Thug’s recent social activity does not violate his probation.

As reported by FOX 5 Atlanta, Judge Paige Whitaker ruled on Thursday (April 3) that the posts did not rise to the level of a probation violation.

The court’s decision came after reviewing both the state’s motion and a response from Williams’ legal team submitted on April 3.

In a filing submitted in Fulton County Superior Court on Wednesday (April 2), the State of Georgia requested that Judge Whitaker immediately put Thug behind bars following tweets posted about Fulton County Investigator Marissa Viverito, a witness in the YSL trial.

Viverito is currently testifying in a preliminary gang murder hearing currently underway. The court had banned any video or photos of Viverito during her testimony. However, a social media “blogger” posted a photo of her with the caption: “She doesn’t want to be shown on screen? Well, here she is.”

Thug reposted the photo on April 1, calling Viverito “the biggest liar in the DA’s office.” The post went viral, reportedly gaining over 2 million views, prompting a flood of comments, including threats to Viverito and her family.

More from FOX 5:

According to the motion, the fallout escalated quickly. “Viverito’s home address and her parents’ home address were publicly posted,” prosecutors wrote, citing one post that said, “If the hate is really real then pull up on her mama crib,” alongside a photo of her mother’s house.

Hours later, prosecutors say, another post appeared threatening the life of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. One user wrote: “Will personally make sure Fani Willis is assassinated.”

“The escalation from targeting a testifying witness to making direct death threats against the elected District Attorney of Fulton County represents a grave and unprecedented attack on the justice system,” prosecutors stated in the filing.

The State argued that Williams’s actions are part of a broader campaign of “intimidation, harassment, and misinformation” designed to obstruct justice and silence those involved in the ongoing criminal proceedings.

On his official X account, Young Thug issued a statement, denying wrongdoing:

“I don’t make treats [sic] to people I’m a good person, I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participate in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love.”

The Ruling

Judge Whitaker, in her ruling, said that while Thug’s tweets aren’t serious enough to revoke probation, he may want to be more careful with his words.

“While the Court does not find that the cited social media post rises to the level of a violation of Defendant’s probation, it may be prudent for Defendant to exercise restraint regarding certain topics.”

As it stands now, Thug will remain on probation under the previously imposed terms.
