Following an eventful week with his probation scare, Young Thug unexpectedly visited Nipsey Hussle’s Marathon Burger restaurant in Los Angeles. DDG was subsequently working at the spot as part of a stream and captured Thugger’s entrance! The social media streets took a portion of the stream and started sounding off. Now, DDG is clearing the air on rumors that he “ignored” Thugger.
DDG Works Nipsey’s Restaurant As Young Thug Visits
DDG was at the tribute restaurant volunteering his time! The spot has attracted a string of famous faces and rappers, all eager to champion the family’s business. The streamer’s support came as he spent hours assisting the staff by cleaning up and preparing food in the kitchen with another employee’s help.
When one of the workers advised the Michigan native to replace his gloves, he turned to fetch a fresh pair from another counter. It was at this moment that Thugger made his low-key arrival. DDG instantly signaled his cameraman to get the shot. A man who appeared to be Thugger’s security guard trailed behind. Ultimately, the guard did not seem to appreciate Thugger being filmed and asked the cameraman to stop recording before placing his hand in front of the lens. “We got customers from all around the world coming to the Marathon Burger,” DDG told his viewers.
DDG Clears The Air About Not Dapping Thugger
It wasn’t long before DDG caught wind of the reactions on social media. Many were left wondering why the father of one didn’t respond to Thugger when it appeared as if he had tried to dap him.
In the video, Thug extends his arm to Nipsey’s brother, Samiel Asghedom, but the angle from which the camera records creates the illusion that DDG leaves the rapper hanging. While Thug’s arm was extended over the counter, DDG could be seen tending to his work duties. His back was facing the ‘Bubbly’ hitmaker. Whatever the case, DDG made sure to set the record straight after peeping the comments.
“No he wasn’t, I said wassup to him when I first walked in, and y’all didn’t see. So y’all didn’t see it,” DDG said about the rumor being spread on X. He reiterated that the dap was, in fact, for Nipsey’s brother and not him.
Thugger Caught A Break In Court This Week
Thug has experienced quite a week, having discovered just a few days earlier that the court
would not revoke his probation after all. On April 2,
Judge Paige Reese Whitaker denied a motion filed by Fulton County prosecutors who believed the rapper had violated his terms over a social media post.
The tweet in question was of a photo of DA Marissa Viverito, who’d been giving testimony in a gang-related preliminary hearing. Although the public didn’t know anything about her beyond her name, a blogger leaked her photo, causing Viverito to go viral. Thug reposted it by tweeting it among his 6.6 million followers, which prosecutors argued was a complete no-go. “Biggest liar in the DA office,” he captioned the photo before deleting it shortly after.
Judge Issues A Response To Probation Motion
Court documents emerged after attorneys submitted a motion to revoke Thug’s probation. His legal team came to his defense. Brian Steel stated that sharing a photo of someone on social media constituted no actual crime, especially a photo that countless others had already widely reposted. Amid seemingly deleting the tweet, Thug came back and offered some words in an attempt to clarify any misunderstandings about his post.
“I’m a good person,” he wrote. “I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participate in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love.”
On April 2, Whitaker rejected the request to revoke Thugger’s probation and acknowledged that Thugger committed no wrongdoings. However, she suggested that he “exercise restraint regarding certain topics” during the next 14 years of his probation.
As previously reported, Thugger pled guilty to gang, drug, and gun charges in his RICO case and received a 40-year sentence, according to USA TODAY, marking the longest-running criminal trial in Georgia.
Whitaker commuted the first five years to time served, reflecting the 900 days he had already spent behind bars following his arrest in May 2022. Additionally, the court sentenced Thug to 15 years of probation and imposed a 20-year “backloaded” prison sentence. That’s set to take effect if he violates the terms of his probation. The court also directed the rapper to avoid metro Atlanta for 10 years, except for community service and family events. He’s also required to deliver anti-gun violence presentations four times a year.
Beyond Thugger’s probation update and appearance at the Marathon Burger, he also enjoyed a date night with Mariah The Scientist. The couple sat courtside at the Lakers game on Thursday, April 3, with Thug showing out in an all-pink ensemble.
