Key Takeaways

  • Finesse2Tymes is asking for help in getting out of his current record contract after using ChatGPT to break down his deal.
  • The agreement is described as a “360 deal,” with Finesse arguing that labels are “worse than lawyers.”
  • The artist’s recent “Creepin” single was released through Mob Ties and Atlantic.

Finesse2Tymes is arguing that record labels are “worse than lawyers” after taking a closer look at his current situation.

The Memphis-born artist, whose 2026 single “Creepin” was released through Atlantic and J. Prince Jr.’s Mob Ties, shared footage to Instagram on Sunday (May 3) showing him using the ChatGPT AI chatbot to break down the specifics of his agreement.

“I done finally found my Mob Ties contract,” Finesse said in one of several videos shared to his IG over the weekend. “Got a lawyer to look over it. But a lot of lawyers, they don't really wanna fuck with it. They fuck with it, but they don't really wanna fuck with it. I got a couple people that done reached out to me, and I just sent it to them. I still don't trust this shit a whole lot. … So this is my first time ever using ChatGPT. I never use this shit. Everybody been encouraging me to try to use this shit. So I'm gonna try to use it for the first time.”

While ChatGPT, to be clear, is absolutely not something anyone should rely on with confidence when it comes to accuracy and consistency, it seems Finesse learned enough during the process to come to the realization that he’s not satisfied with the terms.

In the same carousel, Finesse included a screenshot of a ChatGPT rundown of his agreement, which it described as a “360 deal.” For those unfamiliar, in short, a 360 deal typically means that a label gets a cut of all of an artist’s potential revenue streams, including everything from music to tours to merch.

Finesse, who also shared alleged paperwork between himself and Mob Ties from April 2022, added in the caption of his Sunday IG post that he’s now looking for assistance as he seeks to get out of his deal.

“I moved off loyalty,” he argued. “I thought it was an honor to have ‘J. Prince , the old man’ to be my manager. Y’all told me I didn’t need a lawyer because all they do is fuck over people. Well, it looks like to me y’all worse than lawyers. I’m asking as a man: can somebody please help buy me out this situation before I crash out and do [something] that get me a life sentence? Because the way I’m going out IT’S GUARANTEED I’M NOT GON’ DIE IN THE PROCESS.”

Finesse added that he’s “not trying to be a bully,” but believes his current deal is “one-sided,” and not in his favor.

“Let me out, or I’m going to spend my entire life to bring y’all down,” he wrote. “For all the Mob Ties street guys that got love for me and that I got love for, I hope this don’t come between us. But finding out I don’t own my masters, I agreed to a partnership. Y’all got me good.”

As of this writing, neither Atlantic nor Mob Ties appear to have publicly commented on Finesse’s latest public airing of grievances. Notably, this isn’t the first time the artist has expressed frustration over his deal.
