Sorry I know I'm late, it happened on my birthday and I was on a bender. THUGGER IS FREE! @ThuggerSXN

CNN —
Young Thug was sentenced to time served as part of a sweeping case that originally included dozens of defendants.

The rapper, whose given name is Jeffery Williams, was released Thursday night after more than 900 days in custody, according to jail records. He will have to serve 15 years on probation as part of the non-negotiated plea agreement.

Williams entered a non-negotiated guilty plea deal Thursday related to several charges, including firearm possession and participation in criminal street g--- activity, while he pleaded no contest to racketeering and leading a criminal street g---. The case marked the longest in Georgia’s history.

In 2022, Williams was charged alongside more than two dozen others under Georgia’s sprawling Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — known as RICO.

Prosecutors accused the rapper of leading a criminal street g--- that committed murder and a slew of violent crimes in Atlanta dating back a decade. Williams has denied that he was the head of a criminal enterprise.

They argued YSL — the acronym for the artist’s label, Young Stoner Life Records — also stands for Young Slime Life, an Atlanta-based criminal street g--- affiliated with the national Bloods g---.

I was gonna say this. Nice he is out I guess but 15 years probation isn’t exactly free. And he’s got a lot of stipulations including doing 4 community events a year to discourage kids from choosing g--- life and never going into Atlanta metro except for family matters.
