In April, prosecutors tried to revoke Young Thug's probation after he reposted a viral Instagram video that seemingly referenced a district attorney investigator. However, a Fulton County judge turned down the request, deciding that the posting did not constitute a violation of probation.In July 2025, Thug's legal team petitioned the court to amend his sentence, aiming to trim down his jail term on the basis of his plea agreement and his time served to date.In a separate but related update, YSL associate Kenneth “Lil Woody” Copeland, who was earlier revealed as a cooperating witness in the case, was hospitalized following a serious dirt bike accident in August 2025. Although his injuries were the subject of online speculation, his team later confirmed that he was doing better following the crash.Stay tuned for more updates.
