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.
Fontaines D.C. have teamed up with Rosalía for their new collaboration, Where Is Gone?.
The song features on the Irish rock band's forthcoming album, Dopamine Chamber, which arrives on Friday (16.10.26). For guitarist Carlos O’Connell, working with the Spanish superstar is particularly special because of his own Spanish roots.
He explained: “I’ve admired Rosalía ever since her debut album, which I thought was absolutely beautiful.
“What excited me most was the way she continued to preserve Spain's musical traditions, something that felt spiritually connected to what we've been trying to achieve with Irish music. Having roots in both countries, it's been really special to witness. "She's an artist who has continued to amaze me at every point in her career.”
Frontman Grian Chatten has also described the collaboration with Rosalía as one of the most memorable achievements of his career.
He revealed that he felt "humbled" when she agreed to lend her voice to the band's album.
Speaking to NPR, Grian said: “I've always felt there's something almost like a single big idea that I'm personally trying to communicate to the world before I get old and die, if that makes sense. There's one thing I think I'll spend my life trying to express. I have a feeling she has a similar outlook. … I mean, she's an amazing arranger, composer and lyricist. It means so much that she wanted to sing on something we'd put together. It's definitely one of the highlights of my career.”
Rosalía's links to Irish rock music extend beyond Fontaines D.C. She also offered inspiration and helped develop the Spanish lyrics for U2's The Mirror Maker (Rosalía), a track from their forthcoming album, Carnaval de Luz.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, she spoke about frontman Bono, saying: “I don't know him personally, but he sent me a text explaining that he was working on a new project and had written a song called The Mirror Maker."
Rosalía joked that Bono had invented a few words of his own.
She recalled telling him: “I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I told him he could create his own language if he wanted to.”
She described the opportunity to collaborate with the 66 year old music veteran as a real privilege.
She added: “Bono is a legend.
“It's amazing.”
Bono recently revealed that he was worried about seeming like a stalker when he reached out to Rosalía to ask whether he could name the song after her.
