“See the difference between me and most is I don’t care about showing my growth,” the “Back End” rapper wrote. “I ain’t running from my flaws, I ain’t hiding behind no PR, I ain’t hiding behind no money, I ain’t doin’ what no label tell me to don’t. I show that I don’t like you n—s, I don’t sugar coat and shake hands when I see ya, and I ain’t fakin’. Thismy real life, and yeah, ima shake back, I always do.”
He continued by reflecting on his upbringing and determination to overcome challenges. “God never put me through more than I can handle. But while y’all posting my downfall, post what’s gone bring me up too. I ain’t just a f— up, I got talent, and it ain’t my fault that I gotta catch on to life late. I ain’t have a mama, daddy, to hold my hand—they was f-ups too—but at least I know what loyalty is.”
Rapper Finesse2Tymes’ Rocky Year with the Law
Of course, it’s been a rough year for the rapper. In May, Finesse2tymes was taken into federal custody. Prosecutors stated that his arrest in Texas for making terroristic threats violated the terms of his supervised release.
Legal documents indicated prosecutors claimed Finesse2tymes violated his supervised release three times. He allegedly tested positive for marijuana in two failed drug tests in 2022 and 2024.
Finesse2tymes’s third violation of his supervised release occurred when he made terroristic threats in Texas in February.
