Finesse2Tymes, who comes from Memphis, Tennessee, gained popularity in the Southern rap world thanks to his hit song “Back End.”
He is signed to Atlantic Records and is known for his raw lyrics and focus on street life themes.
His newfound arrest is just an addition to the long history of legal troubles and interpersonal drama of the rapper. Hampton served a number of years in federal prison prior to signing a record deal on a weapons-related offense resulting in a 2017 nightclub shooting in Little Rock, Arkansas, where over 20 people were injured.
Although he was not charged with shooting anyone, the prosecutors complained that his actions had caused the violence to break out.
Hampton is invoked in a headline not only when he is in trouble with the law, but also when there is drama and beefing on social media.
In 2023, people criticized him for his statements about gender roles and relationships. He also faced claims of being involved in a fight during a live show, though he denied it.
Finesse2Tymes is out on bond while the courts handle the latest charges against him.
