Finesse2Tymes Addresses Drug Charges and Downfall

It’s not every day an artist is completely open about their struggles, but Finesse2Tymes is taking a different approach after his recent drug arrest. Instead of hiding or relying on public relations, he’s chosen to share his journey, flaws and all, with his fans.

A Raw and Honest Statement

The rapper, whose real name is Ricky Leshay Hampton, posted a message alongside his mugshot, emphasizing his commitment to authenticity. “See the difference between me and most is I don’t care about showing my growth. I ain’t running from my flaws, I ain’t hiding behind no PR, I ain’t hiding behind no money,” he stated.

He continued to express his unfiltered approach to life and relationships, making it clear he doesn’t fake interactions. “I show that I don’t like you n—as, I don’t sugar coat and shake hands when I see ya, and I ain’t fakin’. This my real life, and yeah ima shake back, I always do,” Finesse2Tymes declared.

Facing Challenges Head-On

Acknowledging the difficulties he’s facing, Finesse2Tymes referenced his faith, stating, “God never put me through more than I can handle.” He also urged his followers to remember his talents and positive attributes, not just his mistakes. “But while y’all posting my downfall, post what’s gone bring me up too. I ain’t just a f–k up, I got talent,” he added.

He spoke candidly about his upbringing, mentioning the absence of parental guidance and the struggles his parents also faced. Despite this, he highlighted his understanding of loyalty as a core value. “I ain’t have a mama, daddy, to hold my hand—they was f–k ups too—but at least I know what loyalty is.”
