Young Thug Seeks to Modify Probation Terms After YSL Plea Deal
Young Thug, born Jeffery Williams, is seeking a change to his probation conditions after agreeing to a non-negotiated plea in the YSL RICO case. The rapper is requesting the court to lift a 10-year ban that restricts him from entering the metro Atlanta area. As part of his plea deal, he had agreed to this condition, but now, just two months later, his legal team has filed a motion to amend these terms.
The motion highlights that Young Thug has family in the area and owns a home in Atlanta. His attorneys are asking the court to allow him to visit his relatives, attend family gatherings, and spend time at his home during holidays. Additionally, the motion raises concerns about his safety due to Florida’s public record laws, which require his Florida home address to be disclosed. To protect his privacy and ensure his safety, Young Thug’s team has requested that his address not be shared online.
At this point, it remains uncertain whether Young Thug will be allowed to visit Atlanta for the upcoming holiday season. His legal team has requested a hearing, though no date has been set yet. In a recent conversation, Young Thug expressed some regret over his decision to accept the plea deal. Despite being happy for his co-defendants who were acquitted, he reflected on the possibility that he might have achieved a not guilty verdict if he had gone to trial instead.
This motion for modification is a significant step for Young Thug, as it could allow him more freedom to be with family while navigating the terms of his plea agreement. The outcome of this motion will determine whether he can spend time in Atlanta, especially for family holidays.
