Even though Young Thug is in jail without bail on RICO and other charges, his Twitter account has been active.

For example, a couple of weeks back he posed this question to Olympic legend Michael Phelps and got a response.



 

At a hearing yesterday, the judge called out Thugger's tweeting after prosecutors raised concerns about witness intimidation and leaks of information, arguing if Thug has access to a phone to Tweet, he could also be directing retribution against witnesses.

Thug's lawyer Brain Steele pushed back on that, claiming somebody else Tweeted out the Michael Phelps message.

β€œThe Phelps Tweet was a conversation that was recorded between [Young Thug] and a member of his close family, close friendships,"Steele said.  "He asked the other person who’s in control of his Twitter account to send that, or the Instagram, maybe. That is not a reason to [restrict].”

The judge seemed to disagree. So don't expect much Tweeting for Thugger in the future.
