Hampton, who performs under the name “Finese2Tymes,” faces up to 10 years in prison after he admitted he possessed a gun at an eastern Arkansas club about a week before the July 1 shooting at Little Rock’s Power Ultra Lounge. He was performing on stage at the Little Rock club when the shooting started and was not charged in the shooting.
After the shooting, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson formed a task force to combat a “looming cloud of violence.”
