Rapper Finesse2Tymes, whose real name is Khalil Shakir, was arrested Monday night in Tyler, Texas, along with his girlfriend Shugga. The couple was reportedly on their way to a performance when authorities stopped them and discovered a firearm and controlled substances in their possession.
The arrest is particularly serious for Finesse2Tymes because he is currently on probation after a recent release from federal custody. As part of those terms, he is prohibited from carrying firearms. Shugga, meanwhile, faces charges tied to controlled substances, including marijuana.
Witnesses say law enforcement had been closely monitoring the pair, which led to a quick intervention during their travels. While reports suggest Finesse2Tymes was cooperative with officers, he also showed visible frustration at the situation.
On social media, fans quickly rallied behind the rapper, flooding platforms with hashtags like #FreeFinesse. Despite their support, the incident raises uncertainty about his future. With a history of incarceration, this new arrest could result in additional prison time, potentially derailing both his career momentum and personal life.
