Memphis rapper Finesse2Tymes, born Ricky Leshay Hampton, is caught up in another legal storm. Word on the street is the “Back End” artist was cuffed in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. He landed in Harrison County Jail on October 20, 2025, facing a slew of drug charges and a felony for allegedly messing with evidence.
For those who know, Finesse2Tymes’ gritty Southern sound and hustle anthems have always been real. But now, he’s staring down what could be his toughest legal challenge yet.
According to the jailhouse buzz, he’s looking at multiple counts related to having controlled substances, marijuana, and other contraband inside the correctional facility. They say he was holding drugs from several penalty groups—think ecstasy, hallucinogens, maybe even cocaine or fentanyl. It’s a serious situation.
That tampering with evidence charge? Sounds like the man might have tried to ditch or destroy something during the investigation. Plus, he’s got another felony for having banned items while locked up—that’s a whole different offense in Texas.
The breakdown looks like this:
- Two counts under Penalty Group 2 (that’s usually ecstasy or hallucinogens)
- Two counts under Penalty Group 1 or 1-B (we’re talking cocaine, opioids, or fentanyl)
- Misdemeanor possession of a little bit of marijuana (under two ounces)
- Possession of a dangerous drug (could be unauthorized prescription meds)
Right now, there’s no bond set, and the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office is saying Finesse2Tymes is being held without bail, waiting for his day in court.
This arrest is just another chapter in the 33-year-old’s wild ride. From grinding his way up to hitting the mainstream, and now this setback with the law. Finesse2Tymes has always been open about his past behind bars, turning that pain into raw lyrics about staying strong, survival, and finding redemption.
But with these felony charges hanging over him, this could be his biggest fight. So far, neither Finesse nor his legal team have said anything official. Stay tuned, fam.
