Misspelling of “gonna”.
In the era of handheld devices, the commonly used slang word “gonna” – which is itself a vernacular spelling of “going to” – is often misspelled as “finna”. This is due to the fact that on a standard English keyboard the f character stands next to the g and the I character stands next to the o. People would commonly incorrectly press the f and i characters instead as of g and o and the word would be sent as finna instead of gonna. Over time this incorrect spelling was incorporated into common usage and became used in its own right, particularly in African American Vernacular English (AAVE).

Get the Finnamug. Despite all the other explanations here I am very sure this popped up when phone autocorrection became a thing on smartphones. For some reason in the beginning the autocorrection on many phones made "finna" out of "gonna".
So this probably came from "I'm gonna kick his behind!" which false was autocorrected to "I'm finna kick his behind!"
Keep in mind that this is informal and not used by many people on the planet in real life. Except Snoop Dogg, but come on: It's Snoop.

To use it just change the word "gonna" to "finna".
"I'm gonna buy a new car." -> "I'm finna buy a new car."
"I'm gonna buy a new car." -> "I'm finna buy a new car."

Get the Finna Wokemug. "I'm finna shoot yo ass" (Even if the speaker does not even know how to handle a gun)
"He finna die!" (If the speaker just saw someone just get knocked the fuck out)
"Finna jump this bitch" (The speaker is going to assemble his other retard friends to go and typically run out of adrenaline before reaching their target that they were going to 'attack')

Get the Finnamug. "Finna" is basically a shorter way of saying "about to".
people will also put the word going and to before finna, even if it dsn't make sense
