What is finna meaning?

[William]

I see the word finna used a lot in texts, tweets, and casual online conversations, and I want to understand what it actually means. Is it short for something, and how do people normally use it in a sentence? I’m also curious if it’s tied to a specific culture or age group, or if it’s just general internet slang now. Some simple explanations or examples would be helpful.
