It has been quite an eventful week in hip-hop. From Kanye’s social media war to Jay-Z cementing his place in the rap game with a one-time take of his verse on DJ Khaled’s new album. But it’s finally Friday, and here we are with your weekly dose of new music with offerings from Pi’erre Bourne’s […]
Just less than a week after DJ Khaled dropped his 13th studio album, God Did, Fivio Foreign has shared a freestyle of the album’s title track. Despite only putting out one major label album, Fivio has become one of the most prolific rappers in the game right now, by way of his several guest verses.
The Brooklyn drill rapper has collaborated with several of hip-hop’s heavy hitters, and he lists some of his most notable collabs in his freestyle.
“I did Drake / I did Ye / I did Nas / I did Alicia Keys / I did Mary J. Blige / I did Nicki Minaj / I went verse for verse with the top legends and survived,” he raps.
He also takes time to remind us that he has a fan in none other than the Queen Bey herself, Beyoncé.
“I even sampled one of Beyoncé’s best,” he raps, referring to the fact that he sampled Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” on his B.I.B.L.E. cut, “What’s My Name?” He also shouted Bey out for using one of his catchphrases, “demon time,” on the “Savage” remix with Megan Thee Stallion.
Elsewhere in the freestyle, Fivio thanks Khaled for coining the “God Did” catchphrase on a song called “B.I.B.L.E. Talk” from Fivio’s B.I.B.L.E. album.

Fall is in the air, which might explain the slim pickings today. Slim as they are, they are offerings from fan favorites, tested banger makers, and music that fits more than one mood. This week’s heat includes Offset’s “5 4 3 2 1,” Fivio Foreign’s “London Freestyle,” and Chief Keef’s vocals on “Chief So.” So, […]
When Fivio Foreign says “viral” and “movie” one cannot help but believe him. He takes his cinematic disposition on the road in his new video for “London Freestyle.”
Fivio Foreign is coming off of an incredible last 12 months, starting with his alliance with Kanye West evolving into their Donda collaboration “Off The Grid” also featuring Playboi Carti. They joined forces once again, this time with Alicia Keys for NYC anthem “City Of Gods” which kickstarted the momentum for Foreign’s debut album B.I.B.L.E. The LP featured the likes of Quavo, Coi Leray, A$AP Rocky, Lil Yachty, Yung Bleu, and more.
Prior to B.I.B.L.E and much like his recent run, Fivio was primarily known for big collaborations and those remain to this day. Just this year he has linked up with Chris Brown for “C.A.B,” City Girls for “Top Notch,” and Nicki Minaj for “We Go Up.” One can only imagine if fans and Fivio himself could have foreseen such a banner year after his 2019 breakthrough single “Big Drip” and being one of the first to innovate the Brooklyn drill wave.
Drake surely took notice when he tapped the “bulletpoint rapper” along with Sosa Geek for “Demons” in 2020, but the Drake feature only puts artists under more pressure to sink or swim. Fivio Foreign has his breaststroke and freestyle intact, as shown in this new record.
Mase heard Fivio Foreign state he received a $5,000 advance from signing to him and offered clarity to the situation in a conversation with the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast.
Speaking with Gillie Da Kid and Wallo, Mase gave an update on what exactly Fivio received, a second payout of $750,000.
“At one time, I gave him $5,000, but I gave him $750,000,” Mase said. “Because I set him up to do a deal to where I can control the deal, make the deal what it should be because I knew if he had the leverage, he would go in there and sell both of us out.”
He added, “Then, when we went in the building, I took $800,000 and he took $700,000. The reason why it went down to $700,000 is because when I gave him $750,000 and I took $750,000, he owed me $50,000.”
Mase stated the $50K was an investment into Fivio career before taking him to the record label. Fivio’s deal is with Mase’s RichFish and Columbia Records.
In a previous episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Fivio Foreign stated a friend introduced him to Ma$e and he signed a deal without a lawyer present. The deal was only giving Fivio an advance of $5,000.
“The n*gga that brought me to him was like, ‘Yo, man. Just sign that shit You buggin’,” Fivio revealed. “So I just signed it. Advance was $5,000.”
Fivio would reveal at the moment, he was in need of the money. “That shit ain’t last two weeks.”
Fivio is still in the deal with Ma$e but revealed that the former Bad Boy rapper “know the business. He really know the business a lot.” He would go on to add he is in a better situation, and while Ma$e gets a cut, Fivio insists he has control of his money. You can hear it all below.
