Fivio Foreign has announced the postponement of his Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama — however, he said he’s planning “something special” instead.

On Sunday (April 30), Fivio Foreign announced via Instagram that his highly anticipated project with DJ Drama has unfortunately been delayed. He didn’t explain why, just saying that “it didn’t go as planned.”

According to the post, while he can’t give an exact date, fans should expect something “in a minimum of 13 days.”

“The Mixtape I wanted to dropped ain’t go as planned so imma do something special for the fans dat been waiting for the album deluxe & this mixtape.. Im not gon say when but in a minimum of 13 days imma drop #WithOutWarning PROMISE all unreleased fires juss for y’all,” he wrote.

Fivio announced back in January that he would follow in the footsteps of Juelz Santana and Pusha T by releasing a DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz mixtape.

Some weeks later, the “Big Drip” rapper tweeted a video featuring ukulele player Einer Bankz. As they walk up a sidewalk, Bankz plays his ukulele, while Fivio raps some unreleased verses.

At the time of the post, Fivio said his Gangsta Grillz mixtape would be released in April. As of now, that isn’t the case, and it’s still unclear if the song he freestyled will appear on the project.

In other related news, one of the rapper’s rivals has allegedly snatched his chain and threatened to hurt some of his closest friends.

In a recent interview clip uploaded to YouTube by 16ShotEm Visualz, a rapper named Big Pluto claimed that he had stolen Fivio’s chain collaboration with GLD.

“This is Fivio’s chain, man,” Pluto said. “It say Fivio on the back. He did this collaboration with this jewelry company called Shop Gold or some shit like that. They made him a real chain and they made duplicates of this chain to sell to his fans and shit. I guess it mean demon time, but n-ggas don’t be on that.”

He added: “This the valid one. This ain’t the one that you can pay for. The one that you can pay for, they small, they smaller than this. This the real one.”

Watch Flavor Flav Ring the New York Stock Exchange’s Closing Bell & Send the Gavel Flying Into Crowd

Flavor Flav knows how to work his way around a clock, but maybe don’t let him get a gavel in his hands. The lesson was learned when the Public Enemy rapper joined U.S. Women’s Water Polo Team goalie Ashleigh Johnson at the New York Stock Exchange on Monday (Sept. 9).

That’s when Flav got a bit overzealous with the gavel when attempting to ring the closing bell, which saw him lose control of the hammer and accidentally send it into the crowd. “FLAVOR FLAV::: They said it was good luck if I hit it hard,” he captioned his Instagram post.

Fans hit the rapper with jokes in his comments section after he nearly decked an onlooker with the gavel. “Is catching the gavel from flav akin to catching the bouquet at a wedding,” one person asked. Another added, “Opening the stock exchange?! What happened to fighting the power?”

The 65-year-old hadn’t had the opportunity to be at the NYSE in his career, and he basked in the honor after watching it on television all these years.

“This means the world to me right now to be here at the Stock Exchange,” Flav added. “The only time I ever seen it was on TV. Now I get to be here part of it. Yeah, boy!”

Flavor Flav signed a five-year sponsorship deal with the U.S. Women’s and Men’s Water Polo Teams, for whom he served as the hype man at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. His sponsorship came with a $1,000 check to each player and a cruise voyage for the women’s team.

It’s a busy week running around the Big Apple for Flav. After stops at the U.S. Open tennis championship and the NYSE, the New York native is slated to appear at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday (Sept. 11).

Watch some of the highlights from his NYSE trip below.
