Fivio Foreign has been sitting behind bars for months after allegedly threatening a woman with a gun, it has been revealed.
According to TMZ, the Bronx rapper was jailed in January for the alleged incident, but his attorney Adam Lustberg expects the case to be thrown out and his client to be freed.

Fivio (real name Maxie Ryles) is accused of pointing a gun at a woman after she asked for help jumpstarting her car in New Jersey on New Year’s Eve.
According to the police report, the 34-year-old rapper warned the woman while aiming a gun at her: “If I see you parked in front of this building again there is going to be a fucking problem.”

Cops were called and there were witnesses to the incident who were able to easily identify Fivio.
The “Big Drip” hitmaker was also caught on surveillance footage from a nearby apartment complex, corroborating the alleged victim’s story.

Fivio was arrested on January 5 and hit with five charges, including unlawful possession of a weapon, terroristic threats, and aggravated assault.
His lawyer claims that police did not recover a gun from the rapper and that their case is weak. It’s not known why Fivio’s arrest has remained under wraps until now.
Fivio Foreign is no stranger to controversy having recorded a song in support of Donald Trump, as well as being a vocal defender of Tory Lanez over his 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.
Speaking on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion Podcast last year, he said: “I fuck with Tory. I know Tory as a real person. In my eyes, I don’t even know if Tory have any guns. I know him. I know his personality. I don’t see him as that type of person.

“I wasn’t there, I’m not a lawyer or no scientist, but if somebody said they got shot and there’s no hole in their body, then they didn’t get shot. We all know that but we know how this shit go.”
He added: “I’m not saying she lying, but if it was a lie, then she threw a man’s life away. That’s fucking crazy. I wasn’t there. I don’t know the logistics of it ’cause I don’t even look at the story that much.”
