Finesse2Tymes wasted no time speaking out after his release from jail Tuesday night (October 21) following a major drug bust in Texas, using Instagram to deliver an unfiltered message and preview new music.
Hours after bonding out of Harris County Jail, the Memphis rapper addressed the situation head-on in a lengthy post.
“See the difference between me and most is idc about showing my growth, I ain’t running from my flaws, I ain’t hiding behind no PR, I aint hiding behind no money, I ain’t doin what no label tell me to don’t,” he wrote. “I ‘SHOW’ that I don’t like u Nygas 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. God never put me through more than I can handle.”
The post came just one day after his arrest in the Dallas–Fort Worth area on Monday (October 20).
According to court records, the rapper faces eight charges, including four counts of possession of controlled substances, possession of marijuana under two ounces, possession of a dangerous drug, bringing prohibited items into a correctional facility and tampering with evidence.
Authorities say the controlled substances fall under Texas Penalty Groups 1 and 2, which include drugs such as cocaine, opioids, ecstasy and hallucinogens. He was initially held without bond but was released on bail by Tuesday evening.

Supporters quickly flooded the comments with praise for the track. “Bro be sliding on s###,” one wrote. Another added, “Dude you can rap good asf. Just keep dropping & stay out.”
