Fivio Foreign recently appeared on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, revealing that he received an advance of $5,000 for his deal with Mase's RichFish label.

Fivio was excited to work with Mase after the latter heard the song Blixky Inna Box. After being presented with the paperwork, Fivio signed it immediately without consulting a lawyer. Fivio said:

"The n***a that brought me to him, he was like, 'Yo, man. Just sign that shit, You buggin,' I'm like, 'Yeah, read it.' He's like, 'Alright, just sign it. It's good.' So, I just signed it."

Foreign added that he thought it would last for a long time, but that did not happen, although he appreciated Mase's knowledge of the music industry and the influence he had on him. He stated:

"I don't really be complaining or crying over spilled milk. I already made this decision. For me, I'm in a better situation now. He get what he get…But I control my money."

It has been confirmed that the deal has not closed yet, but Mase is no longer the owner of Fivio's publishing. Foreign mentioned that he went to Columbia Records when his career had started, and his first studio album, B.I.B.L.E., was released in April 2022.
