Young Thug: Judge Denies DA’s Motion To Revoke His Probation – The R Report

Young Thug will not be headed back to jail over his recent social media post, despite what the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office tried to argue. As previously reported, the D.A.’s office filed a motion in court on Wednesday (April 2) saying Thugger should be sent back to prison because, as they put it, he leveled threats at a police detective. They accused the rapper of “escalating threats and witness intimidation” in a since-deleted social media post about Fulton County Investigator Marissa Viverito, who is currently in the process of testifying in a sprawling gang murder preliminary hearing linked to Lil Baby. The rapper is currently serving 15 years’ probation as a result of a plea deal he agreed in the RICO case against him and his YSL crew last year. Writing that his “continued presence in the community under probationary supervision presents a clear and present danger to public safety and undermines the rule of law,” prosecutors sought to revoke his probation – but a judge has just denied the motion. According to TMZ, Judge Whitaker said his post wasn’t a good idea, but it’s not bad enough to send him back behind bars. “Having reviewed the terms and conditions of Defendant’s probation imposed by this Court, the Court declines to revoke Defendant’s probation based on the violation asserted,” Whitaker wrote. She did add, though, that “it may be prudent for Defendant to exercise restraint regarding certain topics.” Reacting to the DA’s initial filing on Wednesday, Young Thug had denied any wrondgoing, writing on X: “I don’t make threats to people I’m a good person, I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participate in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love.” His attorney Brian Steel also said in a statement: “This motion is baseless. While intimidation and threats of violence are never appropriate, Jeffery Williams has done nothing wrong. We look forward to seeking a dismissal of this petition.” https://youtu.be/d9bCjAGHKkM?si=WiHzXlWNTfg5M9hZ

Yella Beezy Released From Jail On $750K – The R Report

Yella Beezy has been released from jail on $750k bond, where he was being held for an alleged murder-for-hire plot in the death of Mo3. Five years after Mo3 (real name Melvin Noble Jr.) was shot and killed in his hometown of Dallas, Beezy was indicted over the fatal attack on March 20 following a grand jury verdict. His bond was listed at $2 million, but according to CBS News, it was reduced to $750k during a bond hearing on Thursday (March 27) and he was able to bail out by paying 10 percent of it under Texas bail bond laws. That same day, footage of the 2020 murder of Mo3 was released, showing the rapper being chased on foot on a highway in broad daylight. Beezy’s lawyers tell TMZ that the prosecutor has entered the shooting video into evidence. However, they added: “We look forward to fighting the case in court — Yella denies the charges.” Yella Beezy, who is best known for the 2017 hit “That’s On Me,” is accused of “orchestrating” the killing and hiring someone to shoot his rival. The 28-year-old was then shot several times, with the entire incident captured on nearby security cameras. Two men have previously been arrested in connection with the murder. Kewon Dontrell White and Devin Maurice Brown were both indicted in 2021 on various charges over their alleged involvement. The new indictment claims that Beezy hired White to commit the murder. White is currently serving a nine-year sentence on gun and drug charges related to the murder.

Diddy Claims He’ll Beat Charge In Jail Call With Kanye West – The R Report

Diddy is certain he will beat the charges against him and be a free man soon enough, and shared those sentiments during a recent phone call with Kanye West. In a call between the pair obtained by The Shade Room, the embattled mogul pushed Ye to get back to having fun with music and thanked him for being the “only one” to check on both him and his kids while he’s behind bars. “When I get out I want to see you fucking tear down the stadiums,” Puff said. “I need to see you back on that stage actually rapping and fucking performing and everything.” Later in the call, he added, “This shit is fucking sad, n-gga. I’m Puff Daddy in jail. This shit is fucking sad as a muthafucka, b. The devil is a liar. “When I get out and get that fucking freedom, whew! I am not caring about nothing but muthafuckin’ being happy and I want you to feel that. […] You be careful out there because they definitely trying to end us. They can’t do it and they ain’t gon’ do it. I’m gonna beat this shit and get next to you and we gon’ raise our families and become the kings that we supposed to be.” Meanwhile, Diddy’s upcoming sex trial has been delayed to give both sides extra time to figure out jury selection, motions and disclosure of evidence. Deadline was in the court room on Friday (March 14), when the embattled mogul appeared for a pre-trial conference. The decision was made to postpone the trial by one week for the aforementioned issues to be ironed out, moving the date from May 5 to now May 12. https://youtu.be/dPgF16WcI0g?si=Mmy-0bWu-L00_HCH

NBA YoungBoy’s Prison Release Date Moved Forward – The R Report

NBA YoungBoy will be home earlier than expected, as his prison release date has been moved up quite a bit. On Thursday (March 20), the Federal Bureau of Prisons database updated his release from July 27 of this year to three months earlier on April 26 – so YB will be home in just over a month. The controversial rapper previously agreed to a plea deal for a gun possession charge, as well as his involvement in a prescription medication fraud scheme. The result was a 23 month sentence, five years of probation and a $200,000 fine. He also had to give up the guns in question to the authorities. That deal appears to have since been amended, with YoungBoy receiving a sentencing reduction to include time served up until May 2024. Earlier this week, Birdman’s brother, Terrance “Gangsta” Williams, alleged that NBA YoungBoy had been thrown into solitary confinement at FCI Talladega federal prison in Alabama for hitting a Mississippi man “with a two-piece” who had yelled out Lil Durk‘s crew name “OTF” upon seeing the rapper. There is a history of beef between the pair and their respective crews, and it’s possible the man was just trying to bait YB without even actually being a part of OTF. But to Williams, YB is “in there standing on business,” and it apparently has not affected his prison release date. Back in 2023,YB admitted that his beef with Durk is all for “entertainment” after Gillie Da Kid said he wanted the two to squash their feud. “If both of them could hit the stage in the same night, it could show the young’uns that that shit ain’t that serious,” the rapper-turned-podcaster said. “The beef ain’t that serious. None of this drama is that serious.” In a video he captioned, “It ain’t what you think OG all this shit entertainment,” YoungBoy appeared to accept Gillie’s request while acknowledging he is still under house arrest. The Baton Rouge rap star also revealed that he and Lil Durk, who have been beefing on and off since 2021, talk every “two or three nights” about music. Durk later responded to YoungBoy, although it appears their issues are not yet settled as the Chicago rapper accused his rival of sending him a false home address. “You lied bout sending the address 7x when I asked I’m finna grab my coat 1 more time send the address,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories. YoungBoy later clarified the situation by saying in a video that his legal issues were what was stopping Durk from visiting his home.

The Rick Ross & 50 Cent Beef Continues – The R Report

Rick Ross has viciously hit back at 50 Cent, bringing his rap rival’s long-deceased mother into their beef. In a lengthy video rant posted to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday (March 12), Rozay did not hold back on his longtime nemesis and his crew. “I didn’t know that they say I was the only person that fucked 50 Cent up. I ain’t know that, I’ma be honest. Tony Yayo told 50 Cent himself — y’all can Google it. Tony Yayo said, ‘I wouldn’t do that if I was [him],'” he said, referencing the G-Unit rapper’s recent comments about 50’s feuds with Ross, Big Meech and others. “‘Cause Tony Yayo know them n-ggas ain’t got no money! Come on, man. Look at Tony Yayo and Auntie Murda — them n-ggas need facials. Old n-ggas whose skin ain’t even right, boy.” Ross continued clowning Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, saying: “Them n-ggas scared bad, man. You see that n-gga Auntie Murda? N-gga ain’t never killed nothing. That n-gga need a facial so bad. When I be seeing them blackheads on them n-ggas’ skin. Damn! Them n-ggas doing bad.” He then turned his attention back to the G-Unit general: “But look, 50. Boy, I see you struggling making that G-Unit Film Studio out there in Louisiana where the cheapest land at. You thought you was gon’ be able to do it and get them loans.” “What’s wrong? What’s taking so long?” he added. “You ain’t even build the G-Unit Studio yet. That might be why when I stood next to [Big] Meech yo knees buckled. Put your back against the wall. Poor n-gga, you a poor hustler [laughs].” The MMG mogul then referenced 50’s late mother Sabrina Jackson, who died in a house fire when he was a kid: “I know you wanna make your momma one of them walking stars they put down there. Fuck how your momma live, n-gga. Make her her own walking star.” https://youtu.be/6-b2mrUZQBE?si=P4RL0KyLKkcoXu2E
