Pluria Alexander, mother of rapper Finesse2Tymes, is facing eviction after her son stopped financial support.(Instagram/Finesse2Tymes) Alexander recently set up a GoFundMe campaign seeking $6,000 to cover moving costs after her landlord allegedly gave her just days to pay rent or leave.

'Before I move to Texas I lived in Memphis, working, had my own car own place. I don't know anybody here to help me.

Earlier this year, she was charged with money laundering, which she insists stemmed from being scammed by Nigerian fraudsters.

'This charge has made it nearly impossible to secure housing, as I've already been denied by three different apartments,' she wrote. 'Despite these setbacks, I'm determined to find stable housing so I can rebuild and stay connected to my support system. The funds I raise will go directly toward moving costs, transportation, and deposits for a new place.'

The actor, who won over fans and the internet alike, for his portrayal of the supervillain, over the last 6 years, finally wrapped up filming the fifth and final season today, August 13. To bid goodbye to the character and the role, the actor shared an emotional farewell with a lengthy post on Instagram, reflecting on the role, the show's legacy, the people who brought it to life and the support it has received from the fans. 'Ok. Been waiting a little to let things settle and try and process the end of this show,' Starr wrote. 'The Boys. Difficult (for me) to put into words what an incredible ride this has been. How much life and growth has occurred. How amazing the team is. It's truly been the highlight of my career.' "I love this show. And I love this character. Truly. I will dearly miss heading to work, knowing what we were aiming for but never knowing where we would find ourselves by the end of the day…only that we would have fun and it would be creatively rewarding in the extreme," he said, and added, "This complicated character allowed the space and range to discover and push boundaries in a way I never expected and I will always be grateful for this experience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo " Starr looked back on the show's journey, describing it as a 'juggernaut' that never stopped — except during the pandemic and industry strikes.

It lives in its own lane,' he said, thanking the Canadian crew, production team, the cast, and everyone who contributed 'in some way, big or small, to this beautiful, complex, warped, delicious show.'

Mad love to you….and deepest respect for your taste' Signing off as Homelander for the final time, Starr teased, 'We cooked for the last time. Can't wait to show you what we made.
