Young Thug’s Probation Terms Amended: Atlanta Visits Permitted Starting 2027
On December 11, 2024, Judge Paige Reese Whitaker approved a modification to rapper Young Thug’s probation terms, allowing him to visit his Atlanta home starting October 31, 2027, under specific conditions.
Background
Young Thug, born Jeffery Williams, pleaded guilty on October 31, 2024, to charges related to gang activity, drugs, and firearms. He received a 40-year sentence, with the first five years commuted to time served, followed by 15 years of probation. An additional 20-year prison term is “backloaded,” meaning it will be commuted to time served if he adheres to all probation conditions.
Initial Probation Conditions
As part of his probation, Williams was banned from the Atlanta metropolitan area for the first 10 years, except for specific family events. He is also required to perform 100 hours of community service annually, including anti-gang and anti-gun violence presentations.
Amendment Details
Williams’ legal team filed a motion to amend his probation, seeking permission for him to visit his Atlanta residence for family gatherings and other lawful purposes. The Fulton County Chief Probation Officer did not object to this request. Judge Whitaker granted the amendment, permitting Williams to visit his Atlanta home starting October 31, 2027, provided he has no probation violations within the first three years. These visits are limited to two weeks at a time, up to four times per year, and must be non-consecutive. Williams must notify his probation officer at least five days before each visit.
Privacy Measures
Due to Williams’ public figure status, the court ordered that the address of his Atlanta residence remain sealed and not be disclosed publicly or by probation officers, unless directed by further court orders.
Remaining Probation Terms
All other conditions of Williams’ probation remain unchanged. He must continue to perform community service, avoid any gang-related activities, and comply with all legal requirements to prevent activation of the backloaded prison sentence.
Legal Perspectives
Legal experts note that even with probation officers’ agreement, the final decision rests with the judge, who may accept or reject such amendments. In this case, Judge Whitaker approved the modification, allowing Williams some flexibility while maintaining strict oversight.
In related news, Deamonte Kendrick, known as Yak Gotti, remains incarcerated due to other charges despite being found not guilty in the same trial. His attorneys have filed motions citing safety concerns at the Fulton County Jail.
This development marks a significant adjustment in Young Thug’s probation terms, offering him the opportunity to reconnect with his Atlanta roots under monitored conditions.
