Overview

  • Fulton County prosecutors have filed a motion to revoke Young Thug's probation, citing social media posts they claim led to threats against legal officials.
  • Prosecutors allege that a post shared by Young Thug targeted Investigator Marissa Viverito, resulting in her home address and her parents' address being shared online.
  • Threats reportedly escalated to include a post suggesting the assassination of District Attorney Fani Willis, which prosecutors argue undermines judicial integrity and public safety.
  • Young Thug has denied the allegations, stating he does not condone violence and is committed to peace and love, while his attorney labeled the motion as baseless.
  • No hearing date has been set for the motion, and Young Thug remains on probation following his October 2024 guilty plea in a high-profile RICO case.
