A volatile and wide-ranging live stream from rapper Finesse2Tymes has ignited immediate controversy, featuring direct threats toward fellow artists, a raw account of personal betrayal, and a sweeping condemnation of American holiday traditions he labels a “brainwashing” scheme.
The Memphis-based artist, live on social media, vehemently denied πΆπππππΆππΎπΈππ of being “in violation” of street codes, challenging the source of the rumors with aggressive rhetoric. His tone shifted between defensive and menacing as he addressed unnamed rivals, stating he was “blessed” but prepared for conflict. “I ain’t did nothing to nobody,” he declared, before ominously adding, “Might want to do something to me now.”
Finesse2Tymes framed his current mindset as a forced transformation, claiming his pursuit of peace after a federal prison sentence was met with ridicule and aggression. “I came home and everybody call me lame because I pushed peace,” he explained. The artist argued this pressure has now created a “monster,” vowing to stand his ground. “I’m outside. I ain’t ducking no motherfucker,” he stated, issuing a blanket challenge to his detractors.
The broadcast took a sharp turn into religious and cultural commentary as Finesse2Tymes detailed his conversion from Christianity to Islam during his incarceration. He rejected core Christian tenets, specifically denouncing the imagery of a “white man with wool hair” presiding over judgment day. He extended this critique to mainstream American holidays, calling Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthdays tools of economic manipulation and mental control.
“They made all these days… to celebrate. I don’t believe in this shit,” he asserted. He painted a picture of corporate exploitation, noting how stores sell out during the holidays, generating billions that he claims exclusively benefit “the white man.” He specifically targeted the figure of Santa Claus, using profane and animated criticism to reject the tradition for his own family, advocating for rewarding children based on merit, not calendar dates.
“This shit turned me into a monster, dog,” Finesse2Tymes reiterated, pivoting back to personal conflicts. His threats became intensely focused on rapper Big Boogie, whom he accused of responding disrespectfully to him online. The rant escalated into a series of graphic, repeated promises of physical violence. “I’mma beat your ass. I’mma beat your ass. I’mma beat your ass, fool,” he stated, promising to make him “eat” his words and apologize.
He referenced a recent πΏπΎππΆπ airport altercation involving another individual, seemingly endorsing the violence he observed. “I’m glad he smacked his stupid ass,” he said, analyzing the footage in detail. This segued into a revelation about former associate HoneyKomb Brazey, whom Finesse2Tymes accused of attempting to sell his stolen jewelry for $15,000. He claimed to have recovered the items after Brazey was “ran down on,” an incident he says he typically keeps offline to avoid “gangster” portrayals.
“I keep all that type of shit off the internet, y’all,” he said, emphasizing his desire to be seen as a mature businessman. Despite this, he delivered a stark warning: “You gonna run down on this motherfucker thinking this sweet boy, your ass going to end up seeing nothing but darkness.”
Describing his own fighting philosophy as a “warrior” mindset, Finesse2Tymes stated he would fight to unconsciousness if necessary. He outlined a scenario of relentless conflict, vowing to re-engage any opponent until he wins, even humorously suggesting a confrontation could happen anywhere, including a church bathroom. “I’m fighting like my life on the line,” he emphasized, warning against anyone trying to grapple with him.
The stream concluded with chaotic, pop culture-laced banter about professional wrestling moves, a stark contrast to the preceding minutes of grave threats and cultural indictment. The entire broadcast presents a jarring portrait of an artist navigating post-incarceration life, clashing with peers, and articulating a radical, conspiracy-tinged rejection of societal norms, all while issuing promises of real-world violence that are likely to escalate existing tensions within the hip-hop community. The direct nature of the threats and the specific πΆπππππΆππΎπΈππ of theft guarantee this footage will be dissected and responded to, potentially sparking further conflict.
