A rapper who pleaded guilty on Oct. 31 to gang, drug, and gun charges will be released from jail but can only return to Atlanta for select events.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Paige Reese Whitaker sentenced Young Thug, whose given name is Jeffery Williams, to five years in prison, commuted to time served. She also handed down 15 years of probation.
If Williams successfully finishes the probation without any violations, another 20 years in prison will be commuted. Any violations would result in him having to serve 20 years.
Whitaker also said the rapper, 33, must not return to Atlanta for 10 years, except for weddings, funerals, graduations, or when family members are seriously ill. The only other times Williams can return to the city is the four times a year he will be required to make anti-gang, anti-gun presentations at a school or a community organization….
