Fivio Foreign has also done collaborations with rappers and celebrities such as Kanye West, Alica Keys, Pop Smoke, King Von, Lil Tjay, Quavo, and Lil baby during his carreer. Fivio Foreign, pronounced ¨Favio,¨ got his name from people calling him “Fabio” after a model. He felt as though Fabio didn’t sound right for his image, so he made it “Fivio.” He got “Foreign” from a song of his called Foreign where he talked about foreign girls.

Although he has made great strides in his art, he still struggles on some levels, and has been charged with multiple crimes, including assault and having possession of a loaded 25-caliber handgun without it having a serial number on it.
