Rapper Finesse2Tymes, whose real name is Ricky Leshay Hampton, has reportedly been arrested in Texas after being hit with a long list of drug-related charges. The 32-year-old Memphis rapper was booked into the Main Jail on October 20, 2025, according to the Department of Public Safety.
According to official records, Hampton faces several charges, including possession of marijuana under two ounces, multiple counts of possession of controlled substances (CS), possession of a dangerous drug, and tampering with physical evidence with intent to impair. One of the more serious allegations includes introducing prohibited substances into a correctional facility — a felony offense in Texas.
His total bond reportedly exceeds $100,000, with most listed as surety bonds, meaning he can post bail through a bondsman. So far, there’s been no public statement from Finesse2Tymes or his legal team.

Who Is Finesse2Tymes?
Finesse2Tymes, born in Memphis, Tennessee, is best known for his breakout track “Back End”, which helped launch his name across the Southern rap scene. Signed under Atlantic Records, he’s known for his bold, gritty lyrics and hustler mentality that speaks directly to the streets.
However, his success hasn’t come without controversy. Before signing his major label deal, Finesse2Tymes served several years in federal prison for a weapons conviction stemming from a 2017 nightclub shooting in Little Rock, Arkansas, that left more than two dozen people injured. Though he wasn’t accused of firing a gun, prosecutors said his actions helped “incite violence.”
After his release, he made a major comeback — collaborating with artists like Moneybagg Yo, Gucci Mane, and Lil Baby, and turning his name into one of the hottest out of Memphis. But legal troubles seem to keep following him, and this latest arrest only adds to his complicated history with the law.
Past Controversies And Legal Issues
This isn’t the first time Finesse2Tymes’ name has made headlines for the wrong reasons. Aside from his federal conviction, he’s previously gone viral for public feuds, industry drama, and social media rants that often spark debate among fans.
In 2023, he made waves for comments about relationships and gender roles that rubbed many online the wrong way. Around the same time, he was also accused of being involved in another altercation during a live show — though he later denied those claims.
Despite his chaotic reputation, Finesse2Tymes has continued to gain traction as one of the most unapologetic voices in hip-hop. His supporters say his raw energy and street authenticity are what make him relatable — but critics argue his personal life often overshadows his music.
What’s Next For Finesse2Tymes?
As of now, no court date has been announced, and it remains unclear whether he has been released on bond. This latest arrest could impact upcoming performances, endorsement deals, or label commitments — but fans are still waiting for more information.
