Finesse2Tymes has been accused of snitching, and the accuser says he has paperwork that backs up his claims.
Finesse has been embroiled in a beef with Akademiks that began when the rapper called Ak a “bum” on his song “Click Bait.” As a return volley, Akademiks offered $20,000 to anyone who could prove the rapper had snitched on them.

The claim of Finesse having snitched was originally made last year by 1090 Jake, who is also dissed on “Click Bait.” Jake claimed to have proof that Finesse had cooperated with the police two separate times.
Almost immediately, Akademiks had a candidate for the prize money.

On Thursday (February 1), No Jumper posted a video from a man who claimed that a then-15-year-old Finesse had named the people who helped the rapper in a long-ago robbery — and that he was one of the people named.
“The Finesse2Tymes case, the state case, bro, that ho real,” he said. “I’m in the paperwork, man, with his name right there.”

The man also shared one page of what he claimed was paperwork from the case, which appeared to show a February 2008 statement by the then-teenaged Finesse, where he told police the names of the people who “participate[d] in this robbery with you.”
The document could not be immediately verified, though the name of the listed victim, Matthew Zilch, does correspond with an actual Memphis robbery at the time.
The as-yet-unnamed man also accused Finesse of having once repped the Gangster Disciples (GDs) street gang.
“Remember when you was GD and all that shit?” the man, who specified that he was not GD himself, but rather a Crip, asked rhetorically.
Finesse has in recent years talked about his association with the Vice Lords, which is a rival gang of the GDs according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
He has said, “I don’t gangbang Vice Lord. I represent the teaching. I represent what it taught me. The Vice Lords study Islam. So if you’re a Vice Lord, you really study laws and you really studied your literature and your history, you would really understand what a Vice Lord is.”

He continued: “It’s all about being a man.N-ggas ain’t gangbanging no more. N-ggas ain’t having meetings and all of that shit no more. I ain’t. I’m gonna keep that righteous.”
Finesse has on other occasions said that he “loves” the organization for its “fruitful teachings.”
