Overview

• On the Aug. 17 debut of Jim Jones’ Artist 2 Artist, Fivio Foreign said he “can’t sit there and say a Nas bar… or a song,” before noting he likes “One Mic.”
• Fivio previously appeared with A$AP Ferg on Nas’ 2020 track “Spicy” from King’s Disease, which won the 2021 Grammy for best rap album.
• Clips of the exchange circulated widely on social platforms, drawing criticism of Fivio’s stance, with no public clarification from him or Nas reported.
• Fivio attributed his formative listening to Chicago drill, citing Chief Keef as a key influence rather than 1990s New York lyricists.
• The conversation landed within Jim Jones’ ongoing claims about his own impact versus Nas, a comparison he has promoted in recent interviews using catalog and Billboard metrics.
