"I appreciate y'all support and concerns and prayers... But I ain't neva hide nuffin I do or deny who I was," he wrote on Friday in a series of tweets. "I wud neva hurt or harm any prengant woman especially not my GF. My mother wud kill me, plus I'm raise'n 2 blacc lil gurls. & Woman do everything for me in my my life. In relationships people argue and have disagreements, Whoeva kno is kno we been argue’n we argue & we Weill always argue. It’s juss unfortunate dat I have nosy ass neighbors who can’t mind dey own business. Wasn’t da 1st Tyme and won’t b da last."

After reiterating Jasmine's claims that police were called over a loud verbal argument, he signed off with one last tweet. "I'm loud rich blacc and I have a past so people judge but we will get past dis," he added. "We get thru everything we go thru. We family!"

"Thank you all so much for your kind words but I would like to clarify a few things," she wrote. "I did not call the police on Fivio, I did not press charges and I do not want the father of my children in jail. A situation happened in our home and a nosy neighbor called the police. The police are who pressed charges and in time Fivi will be relieved of all charges. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this time."

Brooklyn drill rapper Fivio Foreign has been arrested for assault following an incident in Edgewater, New Jersey on Saturday, Oct. 10.

As per jail records shared by XXL, the "Big Drip" rapper was booked on a simple assault charge with further details currently unclear. The records show that he currently has not been granted bond, and he is located at the Bergen County Jail. His arrest comes after Fivio has continued to gain popularity, becoming one of the many promising faces at the front of the Brooklyn drill scene.

He kicked off October with the release of his Kenny Beats-produced single "Bop It," which also features Chicago MC Polo G. He also recently linked up with Nas and ASAP Ferg for the King's Disease track and video "Spicy." Just prior to his arrest, he collaborated with fellow drill rapper King Von, who recruited him for "I Am What I Am" and its respective video.

Following the release of his breakthrough project 800 B.C. earlier this year, Fivio has been steadily sharing new music with his fans. It remains to be seen when he will be released from jail, but it's likely that he'll be back releasing music sooner rather than later.
