Fivio recently shared his excitement via Twitter about his rising celebrity status. At 32 years old, Fivio Foreign has made quite the come-up, starting locally in Brooklyn to reaching new heights now conversing with the top artists in the industry.
Started From The Bottom
“YE text me lastnite.. shit had me emotional… This shit really came from the bottom,” Fivio shared on Twitter. “I’m really a hood N-gga from the bottom that’s rich lol.. Like rich fr.. I still can’t believe this shit.”

Kanye Compares Fivio to Jay-Z
Kanye and Fivio’s first creative collaboration was on Kanye’s Donda album, where they traded verses on “Ok Ok” and “Off The Grid”. More recently, Kanye graced Fivio’s album B.I.B.L.E. where he was featured on “City of Gods”. Ye shared with Fivio how impressed and fond of his creative prowess he was by comparing Fivio to Jay-Z. Needless to say, that’s quite the compliment coming from Kanye.
“I go Ye, who I remind you of? Who I remind you of?” Fivio shared with the L.A. Leakers. “He like, ‘I don’t know, that’s a good question.’ The question went past so I guess we start eating or whatever. Then something hit him. He go, ‘I got it! Hov!’ I’m like, ‘Word? Hov?’ He say, ‘Hov!'”
