Fivio Foreign has responded to backlash he received for sharing a disturbing video of someone shooting hard drugs.
In a since-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter) this past weekend, the Brooklyn rapper wrote: “Philly bloccs [location pin emoji] Show got canceled we went to the hood to checc Skrilla [brain exploding emoji].”
His tweet was accompanied by a NSFW video of someone injecting drugs into the arm of a man as a group of people, including Fivio, huddle around him in the street.
Several people in the clip yell out “dog food,” which is street slang for heroin. Fivio, meanwhile, can be seen flashing his expensive-looking watch for the camera.
After the video caused a stir on social media, the drill rapper defended his decision to post it, claiming it’s merely a reflection of the harsh reality that he grew up around and that so many others are sheltered from.
“We watch this shit everyday on Documentaries.. Don’t get mad at me I ain’t glorying that shit,” he wrote. “[M]aybe this ah open yah eyes to why we rap try to get up out this shit.. Or juss get up off yo ass and help clean I’m really 1 of people who help.”

This isn’t the first time that Fivio Foreign has made headlines for his questionable antics of late.
Earlier this month, the 34-year-old revealed that he had plans to ask Donald Trump about his thoughts on the debunked conspiracy theory that the Earth is flat, and the response on social media quickly gathered him up.
“Linking up w Trump inna couple days. Ok what’s the 1 question yall want me to ask Trump when I see him ?” Fivio initially wrote on X.
When one fan suggested aliens, Fivi shared his bizarre plan: “I was gon ask if the earth flat.. but fucc dat, Im deff asking bout the Aliens.”
The rapper was roundly ridiculed, with one person brutally commenting: “This mf is really r-tarded fuck goddam.”
Someone else joked: “It all makes sense now. You’re voting for Trump because you’re mentally incompetent!!!!” while another person added: “Fivi please do not ask that man about no damn flat earth.”
