Fivio Foreign is doubling down on his criticism of 21 Savage’s “fuck the streets” movement after the Atlanta rapper called him out for questioning why anyone considers him a “street” rapper.
“I said what I said,” Fivio Foreign wrote on his Instagram Stories, as seen below. “No back & forth w a n***a who said f the streets. N***a a bitch eat a dick pussy @21savage.”
Issues between the two rappers started to bubble after Fivio took issue with 21 Savage’s “fuck the streets” movement. “The streets keep me movie [sic] and keep me and mines good. And guess what.. I better not see’n 1 n***a from the streets supports nobody that say fuck the streets idc who yu are nobody get a pass in my eyes,” Foreign tweeted last month after the release of 21 Savage’s latest album, What Happened to the Streets?
In an interview with DJ Akademiks on his Off the Record podcast, Fivio Foreign questioned Savage’s integrity. “What’s making you think that Savage is a street n***a?” he said, as seen in the clip below. “He said fuck the streets… Why you think 21 Savage is a street n***a, bruh? Street n***a where? In Atlanta? … N***as is all cap, trust me.”
21 Savage quickly called out Fivio for his comments. “Fivio Foreign, shut your bitch ass up,” he said during an Instagram Live stream. “Stop saying my motherfucking name. Don’t think ‘cause a n***a trying to change… If your ass 35 or older, and you’ve been trying to rap since you [were a teenager], don’t say nothing to me about the street. You don’t know nothing about the street, straight up. … Savage will slap the shit out of one of y’all n***as in real life, y’all n***as know this.”
He criticized rappers for taking issue with him trying to send a positive message, and suggested that anyone who doesn’t agree with him clearly hasn’t been through what he's been through. “Y’all ain’t lost enough,” he said. “Stick a fork in it, bro. Y’all n***as be gangsta as a motherfucker in area 59, man, remote location-ass n***as. … Everybody tough now.”
21 Savage recently reached out to Young Thug to fix his issues with Gunna, who has been accused of cooperating with authorities. “Yall n***as fix that shit,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Yall love each other n***a you knew gunna wasn’t no gangster when he told the first time and we swept it under the rug for you you know he wasn’t tryna leave you to hang n***a fuck the streets we ain’t get shit but trauma from that shit.”
Multiple rappers have taken issue with the statement, including Boosie Badazz, NBA YoungBoy, and Blueface.
