Finesse2Tymes recently went viral after he shared a video of himself kicking a woman out of his house for constantly asking him for money. This situation brought up the topic of relationships, money, and expectations, which begs many questions about the complications accompanying them.
In a video captured by his home security camera, Finesse2Tymes expressed frustration about what he seemingly thought was fast becoming an unending trend: women asking guys to blow cash on them. “I’m not about that life,” he said forthrightly. “If you’re here for the money, you’re here for the wrong reasons.”

The story went viral quickly, with social media abuzz about Finesse2Tymes’ position. Some hailed him for the move, calling him out for standing up to what they perceive as a commodity-based way of looking at relationships. In contrast, others felt sorry for the woman, who later used social media to express her hurt and disappointment over the situation.
In a follow-up video posted to his social media, Finesse2Tymes explained the situation. “She asked me for money, and I told her to get out,” Finesse2Tymes said over voiceover accompanying the footage. He explained that this lady continued asking him for money until he asked her to leave. “I’m not here to buy nobody’s love,” he continued, clarifying that he is not in the business of paying out to continue a relationship. The candor is a character for the rapper, whose social media presents real and sometimes inflammatory.
After the incident, the woman took to social media. She shared an emotional response and said she felt hurt and rejected. Scores of users across varied platforms sympathized with her, and the incident started a discussion on how relationships can be pretty tough when there is an expectation of money involved. This incident brought to the fore how money talks can cause much emotional loss and drain relationships.
Finesses2Tymes is no stranger to the spotlight. His music often reflects the tough realities of life in Memphis, where he grew up. He’s built his career on being unapologetically himself, and this latest episode seems to be another chapter in his journey of staying true to his values.
In the video, Finesse2Tymes strongly opposed a behavior he termed a “new wave.” “I don’t know what the new wave is, what the females are talking about, breaking n****s and breaking rappers,” he said. This is not that.” His sentiments pleased many of his fans, who congratulated him for not giving in to the pressures that come with fame and fortune.
Finesse2Tymes has lived a pretty eventful life in the music industry. With his 2022 overnight sensation, “Back End,” he found himself on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time. Powerfully voiced, lyrically motivational, and with fans growing on Instagram and TikTok, his career took off in 2019 with the mixtape “Hustle & Flow,” showcasing his talent and determination.
Finesse2Tymes has not been a stranger to controversy over his career. Despite claims there is some paperwork revealing the snitching, he has been rumor mill-accused of being a snitch. This came into the limelight in a beef between him and Akademiks, who offered up $20,000 for anyone to prove the rapper had snitched.
In 2023, he publicly revealed that he had three girlfriends simultaneously, which sent social media into a frenzy. Not everyone was accepting of this unconventional relationship arrangement.
