Young Thug can now pass through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airport after a judge loosened his travel restrictions.
The decision came after his attorneys, Brian Steel and Keith Adams, pushed for the change, and a Fulton County judge signed off. It’s a notable shift in the strict restrictions that had been placed on him.

The rapper, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, had been banned from metro Atlanta for a decade as part of his probation in a racketeering case.
He spent nearly two and a half years behind bars before taking a plea deal that included a no-contest plea to conspiracy charges and guilty pleas to several gun and drug offenses. Though he walked free with time served, his movement was heavily restricted.
In December, he asked to spend the holidays at his Atlanta home but was denied. The judge did, however, allow for the possibility of limited visits starting in 2027—assuming he stays out of legal trouble.
This new ruling means he can at least travel through the city’s airport, a small but significant step toward regaining some mobility.
