Pluria Alexander, the mother of rapper Finesse2Tymes, says she is about to be evicted after her son stopped sending any money. 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. 'Until recently, my son was helping me pay my bills, but after a falling out, I've been left to manage everything on my own,' she wrote on the fundraising page. '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. This is the third time my son's actions have left me homeless, and each time it becomes harder to recover.' ALSO READ| Who was FastCash Cmoney?

Finesse2Tymes' mom pleads for support to rebuild her life Alexander added that her problems have been made worse by ongoing legal troubles. Earlier this year, she was charged with money laundering, which she insists stemmed from being scammed by Nigerian fraudsters. Court records reviewed by Complex confirm the case is still active, with a hearing scheduled for Monday, 11 August. '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.'
