Dallas, Texas — Rap artist Finesse2tymes has been taken back into federal custody following allegations that he violated the terms of his supervised release. This development stems from his recent arrest on charges of making terroristic threats.
Finesse2tymes, whose real name is Tyrone Stewart, surrendered to law enforcement on Friday. His attorney, Carl A. Moore, confirmed the rapper’s custody status, indicating that this situation arose from multiple suspected violations while under supervision.
Court documents suggest that Finesse2tymes has failed two drug tests, with positive results for marijuana recorded in both 2022 and 2024. Additionally, the current issue relates to his arrest in connection with alleged threats made earlier this year.
The allegations include an incident from October 2024 involving a child star whom Finesse2tymes was mentoring. According to statements from the minor’s guardian, the rapper displayed a firearm and made statements that were perceived as menacing. The guardian expressed significant concern for her safety, asserting that she believed the rapper was capable of acting on his threats.
Moore has previously stated that Finesse2tymes did not threaten anyone, expressing confidence that the legal process would demonstrate the facts of the case favorably. As Finesse2tymes navigates these legal challenges, he remains under close scrutiny due to his previous conviction for firearm possession as a felon, for which he served over three years of a five-year sentence before being released in July 2022.
This latest legal setback comes just days before a critical hearing scheduled for May 8, where more information is expected to surface regarding the nature of the allegations and Finesse2tymes’ future. His case raises broader questions about the challenges faced by individuals on supervised release and the ramifications of failing to meet legal obligations. Authorities will likely weigh the seriousness of these alleged infractions in their decisions moving forward.
