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."

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).
