Young Thug is finally home and seems to be settling in nicely.
After entering a non-negotiated plea deal on Halloween eve, Thug was granted 15 years probation with no further jail time. The YSL head honcho’s RICO trial lasted two and a half years, starting in January 2023. It is the longest trial in Georgia state history.
Prior to his arrest and ensuing trial, Thug had teased Slime Season 4 with a stunningly bloody cover art (pictured above) in April 2022. During his two years at Cobb County Corrections in Georgia (which was commuted in his final sentancing), Thug has appeared on tracks with Kanye West, Yeat and even dropped an album behind bars, BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, with Metro.
Now teasing music with Lil Baby and Gunna (which was an intriguing stipulation in his sentencing), peep Young Thug’s trial details below as we wait for his “First Day Out” track.
Sentence details:
- 15 years probation.
- 40 year sentence, serving the first 5 years in prison. This was commuted with time already served.
- If he violates any of his probation stipulations, he is required to serve the remaining 20 years attached to his sentence in prison.
Probation requirements:
- He cannot make any gang-related music, which means no hand signs, signals or phrases such as “slatt” in his music.
- Is banned from Atlanta for 10 years. After 10 years, he can return to tend for serious illnesses for family, weddings, births, deaths.
- Cannot have contact with any other co-defendant from the RICO case (with the exception of his brother and Gunna). His exemption for making music with Gunna stems from YSL contracts currently active.
- Cannot be around (or own) any guns or drugs.
- 100 hours of community service.
- Must do four anti-gang concerts/presentations annually.
