Finesse2Tymes Arrested And Hit With Violation Of Probation Charge
Finesse2Tymes has been arrested once again, this time for allegedly violating the terms of his probation following a series of legal setbacks and reported infractions. According to TMZ, the Memphis rapper turned himself in to federal authorities on Friday (May 2). The arrest stems from the 31-year-old's reported failure to comply with the conditions of his release, including multiple failed drug tests and the surfacing of new criminal charges. Specifically, Finesse2Tymes is alleged to have tested positive for marijuana in both 2022 and again in 2024 — a direct violation of his probation terms. Finesse2tymes performs live onstage during Broccoli City Festival Day 1 at RFK Stadium on July 15, 2023 in Washington, DC. Compounding the situation is an arrest earlier this year, when the rapper was charged with making terroristic threats against the mother of his former artist, King. The woman alleged that Finesse2Tymes threatened to brandish a firearm during a heated dispute involving a minor. Finesse2Tymes' history with the criminal justice system is well-documented. A key figure in the Mob Ties collective, he was released from prison in 2022 after serving nearly four years of a five-year sentence for illegal possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. Finesse2tymes attends the BET Awards 2023 at Microsoft Theater on June 25, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. Adding further legal pressure, the rapper is also facing a civil lawsuit from his former driver, Ernest Flores. Flores alleges he was shot in the head during a 2023 incident at a Georgia event where Finesse2Tymes was performing. According to the lawsuit, Flores claims the rapper failed to properly manage the crowd and that the venue's owners ignored the risks posed by the large turnout. At least five people were reportedly wounded during the chaotic aftermath of the event. Finesse2Tymes is expected to appear in court again on May 8 for a hearing regarding his probation violation.
