Layzie Bone Warns Finesse2Tymes to ‘Slow Down on Them Drugs’ Amid Sample Dispute

Layzie Bone and Finesse2Tymes got into a back-and-forth online after the latter complained about the alleged price to clear the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony-featured song "Notorious Thugs."

Finesse called out Bone Thugs-N-Harmony in an Instagram post last week, claiming he was told by his label that it would cost $40,000 to clear the song.

"Nyga ain't never extorted me In my life , $15-$25k coo , BITXCH $40k Naw yall gotta see me cuh," he added in the comments.

Finesse included a snippet from his freestyle over The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Notorious Thugs" for Justin Credible's Freestyle Series on Power 106 Los Angeles last year.

In response to Finesse's remarks, Layzie Bone informed him that Bad Boy Records own the song, not Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Layzie also wrote that he took exception to how the Memphis rapper was speaking about him and the rest of the group.

Layzie Bone concluded by sharing some words of advice for Finesse on what it takes to have longevity in the music industry.

"Thirdly young man if you want to have longevity in is this business like Bone slow down on them drugs and get you a team to help you understand and navigate the business," he wrote. "We grown and too old for drama, check
yoself grasshoppers."

Finesse2Tymes was not receptive to the advice. In fact, he was clearly offended. The rapper took to TikTok Live to question the group's popularity, compared to his, claim Layzie was using him to boost his fame, and double down on his previous insults.

Even though he previously stated they were "too old for drama," will Layzie Bone respond to Finesse2Tymes' latest remarks?
