Young Thug probation revocation
Fulton County, Georgia DA Fani Willis has filed a motion to revoke the probation of rapper Jeffrey Williams, known professionally as Young Thug probation revocation, alleging violations that include public witness intimidation, threats against a district attorney, and interference with ongoing judicial proceedings.
According to court documents filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County, prosecutors are urging immediate revocation of Williams’ probation, asserting that his recent actions on social media pose a “clear and present danger” to public safety and the integrity of the justice system.
Probation Violation Linked to Social Media Activity
Williams, who was placed on probation following a guilty plea in October 2024, was under strict conditions prohibiting contact with the victim and their family. However, state prosecutors argue that the rapper flagrantly violated these terms by amplifying a social media post that defied a court order protecting a witness’s identity.
The controversy centers around a social media post made on April 1, 2025, by a known blogger who posted a photograph of Investigator Marissa Viverito—despite a judge’s directive that she not be shown while testifying in an ongoing gang-related murder case. Williams then reposted the image on his account with the caption, “Marissa Viverito is the biggest liar in the DA’s office.” The post garnered over two million views and incited a wave of disturbing responses, including public doxxing and death threats.
Escalation of Threats and Doxxing of Witnesses
The motion to revoke probation, signed by District Attorney Fani T. Willis and Executive District Attorneys Adam Abbate and Simone Hylton, alleging a disturbing escalation:
The home addresses of Investigator Viverito and her parents were posted online.
One social media user wrote, “If the hate is really real then pull up on her mama crib,” accompanied by an image of the mother’s residence.
Another post threatened to assassinate District Attorney Fani Willis herself.
Prosecutors argue these actions are not isolated, but part of a broader campaign of harassment, intimidation, and misinformation—allegedly orchestrated to influence public perception and obstruct justice.
The motion includes excerpts from Williams’ October 31, 2024 sentencing, where he North Carolina News acknowledged the worldwide influence of his words and promised to distance himself from negative messaging in his music. He pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including drug and gun offenses, as well as participation in criminal street gang activities.
Young Thug was sentenced to 40 years, with five years commuted to time served and 15 years on probation. The remaining 20 years were suspended, contingent upon compliance with probation terms.
Williams’ attorney, Brian Steel, has refuted these claims, stating, “It is never appropriate to threaten to murder another person. The prosecution’s motion to revoke Jeffery’s probation should not be well-received and should be swiftly rejected. It is irresponsible to file a motion of this sort when Jeffery has done absolutely nothing.”
Following the news, Williams addressed the situation on social X, formerly known as Twitter, stating, “I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participate in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love.”
The Fulton County Superior Court has not yet scheduled a hearing on the motion.
