Finesse2Tymes has reportedly been arrested for what, he claims, are outstanding “fed” warrants — but a bit of research has proven otherwise.
In a now-deleted Instagram story which was posted on Saturday (August 26), the Memphis rapper claimed that he was being picked up on federal charges, and even went so far as to sneakily record himself in the back seat of a police cruiser.

“These folks won’t let me be great, just came lock me up for a warrant in 2018 [unamused face emoji] [man facepalming emoji] I’ll be back yaw [100 emoji],” he wrote. “What don’t break n***a make a n***a [100 emoji]. I’m out numbered I gotta against the feds and the opps.”
However, court documents obtained by HipHopDX reveal that if, indeed, Finesse2Tymes was picked up by authorities, it was for four outstanding state warrants in Shelby County, Tennessee. According to the records, the rapper (real name Ricky Hamilton) has been on the lam since 2018 for marijuana possession with intent to distribute, property theft valued between $10,000-$60,000, cocaine possession with intent to distribute, and altering/destroying a motor vehicle’s serial number.

The last time Finesse2Tymes was picked up for a federal warrant was in 2018, when he pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm in Arkansas.
“Violence has followed this individual, and it is time for that to end,” said the Department of Justice in a press release at the time. “The message is clear—if you are a felon in possession of a firearm, and especially if you use that firearm to commit other crimes, you will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
More recently, he was briefly wanted by Houston Police earlier this week after an associate of the rapper named Ronald Bell rented and allegedly never returned an Infiniti QX80 SUV valued at $72,200 back in February.
However, it didn’t take long for the case against Finesse2Tymes to be dismissed, prompting the Memphis native to laugh off the charges.

“Who the fuck get a warrant and have the case dismissed in less than 12 hours?” record executive J. Prince Jr. said on Instagram, before pointing the camera at Finesse2Tymes. “Him. Him! Who get a warrant to get the case dismissed in eight hours man?”
“This bitch is gone!” Finesse exclaimed.
