Rapper Finesse2tymes landed in handcuffs again, this time alongside his baby’s mother in Texas, after cops pulled over their vehicle and found drugs and a gun inside. The bust went down late Friday night in an undisclosed spot in the Lone Star State, catching the Memphis artist off guard during what seemed like a routine stop.
Videos popping up online show Finesse2tymes, real name Ricky Hampton, standing calmly by his ride as officers slap the cuffs on him under flashing blue lights. His companion, one of the women who shares a child with him, got taken in, though her name hasn’t yet dropped.
Details on the exact drugs or firearm stay fuzzy for now, but with Finesse2tymes still on probation from a past federal gun rap, this could spell big trouble fast. He did over three years in the feds back in 2018 for being a felon with a piece, and just walked free in 2022 after wrapping up that bid.
Texas don’t play with these kinds of finds, especially for someone with his record, so expect charges to hit soon if they ain’t already.
Finesse2tymes built his buzz on gritty tracks like those on his 90 Day Fiancé mixtape, but off-stage drama keeps pulling him back into the spotlight. Fans online are already buzzing about how this might mess with his next drop or tour plans, while some point to his messy family ties as the real backstory. His mom even aired out gripes earlier this year about him skimping on support after hooking her up with a new spot.
One wild side note: back in February, a Texas woman got killed by her man who swore she stepped out with Finesse2tymes, though he stayed clear of that mess.
Right now, neither he nor his team has said a peep, leaving everyone glued to updates regarding the Finesse2tymes arrested Texas incident.
