Young Thug’s probation won’t be revoked after he went off on the District Attorney and Judge Whitaker on social media.

On Tuesday, Thug reposted a blogger’s photo of Marissa Viverito on the stand, calling her the “biggest liar in the DA office.” That sparked fans to flood the DA’s social media with hate messages. Judge Whitaker wasn’t feeling the post, calling it “not wise,” but ultimately said it wasn’t enough to send Thug back to jail. After reviewing the terms of Thug’s probation, the judge decided not to revoke it.

However, he did give Thug a light verbal warning, telling him it might be a good idea to keep certain opinions to himself, especially when it comes to the legal system. While the judge didn’t throw the book at Thug this time, he did make it clear that Thug needs to be more careful about what he posts online, especially when it could cause problems in the courtroom. The whole situation shows how social media can stir things up, with fans backing Thug and taking things way further than he might have intended.

When Young Thug was released from prison, he was given strict probation rules to follow. These included staying out of trouble and avoiding any illegal activities. He was also prohibited from associating with known criminals or gang members. Additionally, Thug had to stay away from social media posts that could cause legal issues or stir up controversy, as his online behavior had previously led to trouble. It’s a reminder to Thug and everyone else that social media energy can spill over into real-world consequences.
