Memphis rapper Ricky Hampton, popularly known as Finesse2tymes, has been beefing with his 10-year-old son, FNG King. The family faces a rift after the child ran away from home for a better life.
On Instagram Live, Finesse2tymes claimed that his son had run away with a stranger after the rapper denied him from giving him more money. The rapper had stopped taking King to dice games or adult clubs despite the kid’s demand.
Finesse2tymes’s relationship with his child has been questioned several times as the rapper often took him for nights out with girls.

Further, the rapper added, “I can’t believe I’m f*cking saying this. King is loyal to money and opportunity. He isn’t loyal to people. He’s always scamming people for money and f*cking his name.“
However, Finesse2tymes mentioned that he is partly to blame as he didn’t know how to raise a child better. He gave several examples of bad businesses that had a lasting impact on his reputation.
The rapper frequently posted King playing dice over thousands of dollars. Finesse2tymes admitted to teaching him how to gamble, curse, and act like he was older than his age.

As the years passed and King started committing the acts alone, Finesse2tymes grew concerned and wanted to stop it. The rapper stated, “I want him to grow into a young man. I don’t want him to grow into a ratchet man.“
Additionally, Finesse2tymes had recently opened for the Hot Boys Day and talked with Jay Prince about the messy situation. King disrespected the adults around him and escaped several times.
Such behavior didn’t sit right with Finesse2tymes as he tried to discipline his son in his own ways. However, the move backfired, and people widely criticized the rapper for his bad parenting.
Finesse2tymes son came forward with accusations of regular substance abuse!
As if things weren’t already complicated, King came forward with his side of the shocking story. The kid added that his father tried to influence him by using substances and firearms around him.
In a video, King said, “He was smoking with me and giving me narcotics. You came to get me for who I am, but you trying to change me for who I truly am. This how the internet know me, as a bad kid.“
Moreover, Finesse2tymes got a call from his probation officer about the issue, as King running away could put him at high risk. Officials called the rappers after King posted pictures with firearms.
Regardless of the accusations, the rapper detailed that he had a good relationship with King’s mother, Tiffany Moore, and grandmother. He often transferred thousands of dollars to them after getting involved with the Child Protection Service.
Finesse2tymes mentioned that King might resent him for not making him like other kids as he ages. Fans noted that King should’ve been in school with kids his age rather than adult clubs.
However, after King talked about the rapper’s negligence publicly, Finesse2tymes came back for the child. The rapper added that King got his money from him, not YouTube.
As fans came for Finesse2tymes’ music, he couldn’t contain his anger and wrote, “Don’t talk about my hits, King’s only got two hits, I got more. It shows you are a hater.“
People have not well-received such a reaction, as the 32-year-old argued with someone three decades younger. Fans added that Finesse2tymes should consider taking a break from social media.
Similarly, fans joked about Finesse2tymes’ comments, and one wrote, “Lol, I never thought I’d see a gangsta on the internet arguing with a kid. He’s tight because the little man told the truth.“
Additional Information
- Sources estimate that Finesse2tymes’ son’s net worth is nearly $1 million. Previously, King soaked his $40k diamond watch in water to prove it was real. He later clarified that the watch was a gift from the rapper.
- Many assume that if officials investigate Finesse2tymes and his bond with King, he might be imprisoned for negligence. The rapper has been arrested several times on charges of theft, possession of a firearm, and firearm attacks.
