Fivio Foreign Pivots to Christian Rap, But Don’t Call Him a Gospel Artist: ‘I Don’t Want to Put It in a Category’

The Brooklyn rapper is trying to make rap music that's positive and is working on a new project.

Brooklyn rapper Fivio Foreign may be shifting his rap music to a Christian theme, according to The Shade Room. The artist appeared on the platform and explained that he feels the need to be more spiritual and offer something more meaningful for God. He added that he isn't a person who needs to learn through pain, but rather knows when it's time to make a change.

When asked if he considers himself a gospel artist now, Fivio expressed that he doesn't feel like he is one and doesn't intend to make gospel music. Instead, he sees his new music as a way to praise God through his songs and portray a positive image. He emphasized that he doesn't want to categorize it and is just focused on sharing his music with the world.

Fivio also mentioned a potential collaboration with gospel artists Mary Mary and Kirk Franklin in the future. He previously featured on Ye's (formerly Kanye West) 2021 album Donda, delivering one of the project's standout verses. The interview can be seen below.
