Young Thug Violated Probation Already/
First, some fans suspected he almost immediately violated one of his probation conditions by hanging out with T.I. who is a convicted felon.
However, the terms of Young Thug’s release do not explicitly prevent him from associating with felons, just “members or associates of a street gang.”
Thug’s probation conditions do, however, refer to avoiding “persons or places of disreputable or harmful character,” which could apply to convicted felons.

Thugger has also appeared to criticize Gunna on social media after previously getting permission from the judge to interact with his former co-defendant.
Thugger posted “Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know u my guy,” he wrote and then quickly deleted.
Some speculated that the YSL co-founder had been hacked however Gunna’s brother later commented on Instagram: “Trust and believe the feeling is mutual,” along with a capital P emoji.
There have been many rumors about the current nature of Young Thug and Gunna’s relationship ever since the “One of Wun” rapper took an Alford plea in 2022, admitting to one count of conspiracy.

That’s my mans. When Thug gets let out of jail, the talk is this. They say two hours afterward, Drake flew to Thug and allegedly gave him a mil.”
He added that the information did not come from the 6 God himself: “Drake didn’t tell me this. Drake gon’ hit me up and be, like, ‘Who told you this?’”

Shaq Blames NBA Viewership Drop on 3-Point Dominance Sparked by Stephen Curry
*Early in the 2024-25 season, the NBA is reportedly experiencing a dip in viewership, and Shaquille O’Neal attributes this to the prevalence of a uniform playing style centered around 3-point shots—a trend sparked by Stephen Curry’s influence on the game.
“It’s down because we’re looking at the same thing. Everybody is running the same plays,” Shaq said on his podcast, Fox News reports.
“Steph Curry and those guys messed it up. I don’t mind Golden State back in the day shooting threes, but every team isn’t a 3-point shooter. So, why everybody has the same strategy? I think it makes the game boring,” the former Los Angeles star continued.
“The game has already been perfect ever since Naismith created it,” Shaq added. “This new era of humans f—-d it up. … Golden State came in and changed it.
“Everybody wants to be Steph Curry, but everybody’s not Steph Curry. And that’s why viewership is down. But these dudes, they need to wake up because if viewership is down, the money is gonna come down.”
