Finesse2tymes unloaded raw emotion and unresolved family drama in a freestyle posted online over the weekend, comparing himself to Eminem amid a public fallout with his mother, who now says she’s homeless after he allegedly cut her off financially.
The Memphis rapper pounded out a beat on furniture while delivering an a cappella verse that peeled back layers of personal pain.
“Five years family problems, now I feel like Eminem,” he rapped, referencing the Detroit MC’s famously strained relationship with his own mother.
Without naming names, Finesse2tymes questioned the absence of support during his lowest moments, including when he was facing a decade in prison. “Where were you?” he asked in the verse, before abruptly walking away from the camera, visibly overwhelmed.
“I learned how to turn pain into profit,” he wrote in the caption. “Ps: I wasn’t finish I just Couldn’t control my emotions at end but yaw get it tho.”
The freestyle came days after his mother, Pluria Alexander, launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking $6,000 for moving expenses after being evicted in Texas.
In the fundraiser description, she claimed her son had stopped helping her financially following a dispute.
“I’m reaching out for help as I face eviction and the urgent need to find a new place to live,” she wrote. “Until recently, my son was helping me pay my bills, but after a falling out, I’ve been left to manage everything on my own.”
Alexander said this isn’t the first time her son’s actions have left her without a home. “This is the third time my son’s actions have left me homeless and each time it becomes harder to recover,” she added.
She also said she previously had a stable life in Memphis, with a job, a car and her own place, before relocating to Texas. Now, she says she’s battling anxiety, depression and what she described as “narcissistic abuse” from her son.

In a follow-up video, Alexander criticized Finesse2tymes for his spending habits. She also accused him of being upset because she called him a disrespectful narcissist.
“You spent $4 million on n##### and b######. Weed. Flying muthafuckas back and forth. That’s what you spent your money on. Jewelry. You ain’t spent it on family,” she said. “And when a muthafucka do get something, guess what? they got to do something for it. It ain’t genuine. Keep your money.”
The online back-and-forth triggered a wave of reactions, with some defending the rapper and others calling out the family feud.
“idgaf what his moms said dis n#### spittin,” one user wrote.
Another added, “N#### hear all that s### you saying my n#### but your momma shouldn’t be on social media crying out for help.”
A third chimed in, “Telling a man to go help somebody that asked for help on the internet is diabolical yall believe anything yall see being posted yall do know kids get crossed by parents to.”
