Fivio Foreign briefly thought his homie Nicki Minaj shouted him out on the hook of her song “Everybody,” but he eventually realized she wasn’t saying his name at all.

Stopping by The Breakfast Club on Thursday (February 15), the New York rapper laughed about his viral video in December where he appeared to mistake the sample of Junior Senior’s 2002 hit “Move Your Feet” that says “body” for “Fivi.”

He admitted that he already knew she wasn’t saying his name by the time he posted the clip, but he did certainly think so for a moment before that.

“It sound like she said Fivi right?” he laughed. “Nah, somebody told me that. [They were like], ‘Look, she says Fivi!’ But you know what it is? I ain’t really listen to the whole song. I was just hearing that part. They was like, ‘The sample is going viral on TikTok.’ I’m like, oh shit.”

He added: “[But then] I listened to the song and I saw the title and I’m like, ‘Oh shit. Aight.’ But I knew it before I posted it, but I was like, I’m still gonna post it.”

The conversation begins at the 16:25 mark below.

While Fivio Foreign didn’t get a shout-out or guest appearance on Pink Friday 2, he and Nicki Minaj have worked together in the past as they teamed up for “We Go Up” in 2022.

As for “Everybody,” Nicki revealed that she penned the track in five minutes and it almost didn’t make the album as it was originally slated for Call of Duty, whom she partnered with in 2023.

“This is mad funny b/c that was the song I wrote in 5 mins one day for ‘Call Of Duty,’” she wrote on X/Twitter.

“Once I kept it for my album, I still didn’t even rlly know if it made sense on PF2. I didn’t wanna send it to Uzi b/c I thought he’d be over it. Instead he was like this hard af! Uzicito.”

Nicki Minaj also previously praised Fivio Foreign’s solo work, giving him his flowers for the quality of his debut album B.I.B.L.E. in 2022.

This fivio foreign album rlly hittin the mthafkn spot,” Nicki wrote on Instagram. “Sooooo SOLID. Sonically authentic & well thought out. Cohesive body of work with a signature sound that is very true to where he’s from.”

She also picked out “For Nothin,” “Changed on Me,” “On God” and “Hello” as her favorite songs, while also shouting out Coi Leray, Chloe Bailey and KayCyy for their features.

“Kayccy is [fire] on both of his songs,” she added. “chloe bodied her verse. Loved coi too @fivioforeign_8fs.”
