Fivio Foreign has denied that he was roofied at a nightclub in Paris over the weekend after a fight broke out during his performance.
TMZ reported on Saturday (June 24) that the Brooklyn rapper had been involved in a brief confrontation at L’Arc, where Fivio was performing as part of Paris fashion week.
Sources told the outlet that the fight broke out over Fivio learning his drink had been spiked, but the “City Of Gods” rapper has now denied this report on his Instagram Stories.
“Wat kinda lies these people putting out,” he wrote in one slide. “How can you lace me imma drug baby.”
He then tagged TMZ directly, writing, “I really fuccs with y’all & having fake news is not really yah style so idk who told y’all this stuff but y’all gotta come talk to me please.”
This isn’t the first rumor Fivio Foreign has had to clear up in recent weeks. Last month, it was reported that the Brooklyn rapper allegedly had his chain snatched by one of his rivals, a rapper named Big Pluto. However, according to a recent episode of Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast, Loui Paso, a rapper, and friend of Fivio, said this wasn’t true.
“The guy [usually] has like six, seven security guys with him,” he said. Paso then called up Fivio himself, who on FaceTime agreed with Paso’s account and showed off the chain in question. Fivio Foreign had the chain made last year by GLD as part of a larger collection for the jewelry company.
Around the time of the alleged theft, the suspected perpetrator sat down with 16ShotEm Visualz for a YouTube video interview explaining why the theft took place.
“This is Fivio’s chain, man,” Pluto claimed. “It say Fivio on the back. He did this collaboration with this jewelry company called Shop Gold or some shit like that. They made him a real chain and they made duplicates of this chain to sell to his fans and shit. I guess it mean demon time, but n-ggas don’t be on that.”
In other news, Fivio just copped a new piece of drip to add to his collection, a shimmering snowflake-inspired chain, which was showcased in a box surrounded with Louis Vuitton emblems is “all emeralds, with the kilo, and VVS diamonds.”
Fivio’s jeweler said on Instagram the chain itself resembled “water” and noted it’s too easy for Fivio to make such lavish purchases.
“God is Good.. 200k onna Friday,” Fivio tweeted.
On AHHCade, PNAU are leaning fully into emotion for their upcoming seventh studio album.
“There’s something deeply connected about music and the path we’ve been on,” PNAU’s Nick Littlemore shares while introducing the new project, which is scheduled to arrive July 31 through Sydney independent label etcetc, under the TMRW Music umbrella.
“We’re creating songs from the heart,” he says. “Even though these tracks are built with electronics and technology, at their core they are emotional expressions. Peter, myself and everyone we worked with wanted to create a feeling of home, whether that’s on the dancefloor or inside the listener’s mind.”
The upcoming record includes the recently unveiled “Tu Corazon (Your Heart)” featuring Mexican rock band The Warning, as well as the energetic new track “Nirvana” with EARTHGANG and sadMONTH, which officially dropped today, May 8.
“Nirvana” pairs PNAU with Atlanta duo EARTHGANG and also marks the first collaboration with sadMONTH, the new creative venture from Littlemore alongside Toronto artist Dom Dias.
Littlemore describes the song as “the beginning of an entirely new chapter. It’s intense, chaotic and taps into a future version of punk electronic music. Expect something restless, rhythmic and completely untamed.”
EARTHGANG added: “With ‘Nirvana,’ we locked into this euphoric and elevated energy together with PNAU and rode that electro wave. Huge love to everyone involved in bringing this track to life and making it hit the way it does.”
Representatives for the group have also hinted that additional unexpected collaborations will be revealed in the near future.
PNAU, made up of longtime friends Littlemore and Peter Mayes, are following up their 2024 release Sambanova. Over the years, the duo have built a career filled with major records and industry recognition. Their global breakthrough came after teaming up with Elton John for the 2012 remix album Good Morning to the Night, which reached No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. They later reunited with Elton for the 2021 remix Cold Heart featuring Dua Lipa, creating one of the biggest worldwide hits of the decade.
To celebrate the release of the new album, PNAU will launch the Australian run of their Nirvana Tour 2026 next month. The East Coast regional dates begin June 19 at Gilligan's in Cairns before finishing July 4 at Woodport Hotel in Erina.
