Young Thug: 40 years in prison and a new beginning according to confession

In a dramatic turning point, the US rapper Young Thug, bourgeois Jeffery Williams, has guilty in an ongoing criminal trial for gang crime. This decision marked the surprising end of a procedure that started last year and took place in Atlanta, Georgia. The judge imposed a 40-year prison sentence, which the Grammy award winner does not have to serve because he has already paid time.

But freedom comes with strict requirements: Young Thug must keep a 15-year probation period in which he has to stay away from weapons, drugs and gangs. He is also prohibited from staying in his hometown Atlanta for the next ten years. The public prosecutor had originally called for a long prison sentence, but the judge decided to be a suspended sentence, which means a second chance for the rapper.

reute and responsibility

in court, Young Thug was repentant and explained that he had learned from his mistakes. He wanted to send a positive message with his music. The judge asked him to be a role model for young people. In addition, the rapper has to do social work in order to meet his responsibility. Young Thug, who started his music career in 2011, quickly developed into one of the best-known names in the rap scene and won a Grammy in 2019 for his participation in the hit "This Is America" by Childish Gambino.
