The rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, pleaded guilty as part of a non-negotiated plea in the YSL RICO case. As part of his sentence, Williams cannot be in the metro Atlanta area for the first 10 years of his 15-year probation. The only exceptions are if he is attending a wedding, funeral or graduation or medical emergency of an immediate family member. His attorneys requested he be allowed to attend family gatherings for the holidays.
On Wednesday, Judge Paige Reese Whitaker ruled on an order modifying special conditions of Williams’s probation. It stated that if there are no violations of probation within the first three years on or before October 31, 2027, of Williams’s probation, he can visit his home in Atlanta for up to two weeks at a time, up to four times per year, non-consecutive.
He also must notify probation at least five days before coming to the home, for good cause shown and for safety or privacy concerns based on his status as a known public figure.
Under the current terms, Williams is required to return to the metro Atlanta area to make a live anti-gang and anti-gun violence presentation. He must visit four times per year at a grade school, middle school, Boys and Girls Club or similar group.
