Memphis Rapper Finesse2Tymes, born Ricky Leshay Hampton, was arrested in Dallas-Fort Worth and booked into Harrison County Jail on October 20, 2025.

The “Back End” hitmaker is facing a series of drug-related charges and a felony for tampering with evidence. He is known for his street anthems and booming Southern delivery, but now finds himself at the center of a serious legal situation in Texas.

According to jail records, Finesse2Tymes faces multiple counts tied to possession of controlled substances, marijuana, and prohibited items inside a correctional facility. Authorities allege he was found with drugs from several penalty groups, including small amounts of substances that could range from ecstasy or hallucinogens to cocaine or fentanyl.

The most severe charge involves tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, suggesting the rapper may have tried to conceal or destroy materials during the investigation. Another count accuses him of possessing banned items while in custody—an offense treated as a separate felony under Texas law.

In addition to two charges for possessing controlled substances classified under Penalty Group 2, Hampton also faces two counts under Penalty Group 1 or 1-B, typically involving high-risk narcotics such as cocaine or opioids. He was also charged with misdemeanor possession of less than two ounces of marijuana and a count of possessing a “dangerous drug,” a category that usually includes prescription medications held without authorization.

Court records show no bond has been set, indicating Hampton could remain behind bars while the case develops. The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office confirmed he is being held without bail, pending further proceedings.

This arrest marks another turbulent chapter in Finesse2Tymes’ career. The 33-year-old rapper has built a reputation for turning personal setbacks into inspiration, often referencing his legal struggles and redemption arcs in his music. But with several felony counts and potential prison time looming, this case could prove to be one of his most challenging battles yet.

As of now, no official statement has been issued by Finesse2Tymes or his legal team.
