Finesse2Tymes is currently being held in federal custody after prosecutors allege he violated the terms of his supervised release on multiple occasions.
According to TMZ, the rapper surrendered to authorities on Friday (May 2). He is being accused of violating his supervised released on three occasions: failed drug tests in 2022 and 2024 (both allegedly testing positive for marijuana) and his arrest for alleged terroristic threats earlier this year.
The latter stems from an incident with his then-artist King, whose guardian claimed Finesse threatened to pull a gun on her over a dispute about the minor.
Finesse has been on supervised release since July 2022 after serving almost four years of his five-year sentence for possessing a gun as a former felon.
His next hearing is scheduled for May 8.
In other news, Finesse2Tymes was recently sued by a man who says he acted as the rapper’s driver during a violent incident in June 2023 that occurred in a nightclub in Decatur, Georgia,
Ernest Flores originally filed suit against the now-closed venue’s owners last October, but an amended version of the complaint was filed in early January, which is when Finesse2Tymes appears to have been added.
The complaint, spotted by TMZ, accuses the rapper of failing to do enough to help with crowd control, and the venue for allowing the event to go on despite, per the outlet, “knowing the risk of criminal activity and the large crowd expected.”
At 3 AM during an afterparty for Birthday Bash Weekend at which Finesse was performing, gunfire reportedly broke out inside the club due to an argument. Five people, initial articles claimed, were shot.
Flores says in his suit that he was shot in the head, and provides photos of his injuries.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
