“I feel like there’s a perspective out there, for drill music, that it’s just about beefing and dissing everybody,” he said. “I feel like it’s one of my responsibilities to show people that’s not the only drill. It is also about the content. We can do drill beats, talk about fashion, and still go viral.”
Nicki Minaj doesn’t appear on B.I.B.L.E., but she recently collaborated with Fivio Foreign on her song “We Go Up.” Fivio spits a verse on the track, with Nicki also name-dropping him in her lyrics.
