Rapper Finesse2tymes, who made headlines for his legal battles in recent years, is back in federal custody. The controversy surrounding his arrest highlights several alleged violations of his supervised release, including terroristic threats and failed drug tests. With a history of legal issues, this latest development raises concerns about his future as he awaits further legal proceedings.
The Arrest and Alleged Violations
Finesse2tymes, whose real name is not disclosed, is currently being held in federal custody after prosecutors claim he violated the terms of his supervised release. His attorney, Carl A. Moore, confirmed the rapper surrendered to authorities on Friday, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Finesse2tymes is accused of violating his release conditions on three occasions. The first two violations involve failed drug tests—one in 2022 and the other in 2024—both of which reportedly tested positive for marijuana. These failed tests come at a time when the rapper was still serving a supervised release following his prison sentence.
Terroristic Threats Incident in Texas
The third alleged violation stems from an incident earlier this year in Texas, which led to Finesse2tymes’ arrest on charges of terroristic threats. The incident, which occurred in October 2024, involved a disturbing allegation that Finesse2tymes made threats of violence while mentoring King, a young child star.
According to the guardian of King, Finesse2tymes allegedly showed her a gun concealed under his shirt and made a chilling statement, saying he would “up that fire,” a phrase that, in Memphis slang, is understood to mean pulling a weapon. The guardian expressed fear for her life, claiming she believed the rapper was capable of carrying out the threat.
The Legal Response and Denial of the Allegations
Finesse2tymes’ attorney, Carl A. Moore, has strongly denied the accusations of terroristic threats. In a previous interview, Moore stated, “We are confident this matter will be resolved justly once the state of Texas applies the applicable law to the facts.” He emphasized that his client never threatened anyone and maintained optimism that the charges would be dropped or resolved favorably once due process occurred.
While the rapper has denied the allegations, the seriousness of the accusations, coupled with his history of legal trouble, has raised concerns about his future legal battles.
Background on Finesse2tymes’ Legal History
Finesse2tymes has a complicated legal history, having been released from prison in July 2022 after serving a little over three years of a five-year sentence. His conviction stemmed from a felony charge for possessing a gun as a previously convicted felon. This latest setback marks another chapter in the rapper’s struggles with the law.
Since his release, Finesse2tymes has been on supervised release, meaning any violations of the terms—whether through illegal substances or criminal behavior—could result in his return to prison. His legal team’s continued efforts to clear his name will likely be put to the test as the next hearing, scheduled for May 8, approaches.
What’s Next for Finesse2tymes?
With his next hearing just days away, the rapper faces an uncertain future. If the court finds that he indeed violated his supervised release, Finesse2tymes could face further legal repercussions. The outcome of this case will likely shape the next steps in his career and his legal trajectory.
As the entertainment world watches closely, the rapper’s legal team remains hopeful that justice will prevail and that Finesse2tymes will be able to move forward. However, with several allegations still unresolved, his future in both music and the public eye may be hanging in the balance.
