Fivio Foreign’s sobriety journey has the Brooklyn rapper hitting the reset button and looking to make amends with others, starting with DJ Akademiks.
On Sunday (Jan.18), Fivio took to X to publicly reach out to media personality DJ Akademiks, signaling a desire to mend a relationship that once played a role in his rise. The message struck a reflective tone, blending gratitude, accountability, and an invitation for dialogue.
“Yo @Akademiks used to support tf outta me,” Fivio wrote, acknowledging Akademiks’ early backing during his breakout years.
Akademiks frequently amplified Fivio’s music and movement online, helping push his name into wider hip-hop conversations. Over time, that relationship cooled, though neither side had clearly addressed the fallout.
Fivio admitted he still doesn’t fully understand how things went left. “Idk where we went wrong or what I said,” he continued, framing the tension as unintended rather than personal. Instead of pointing fingers, the rapper placed responsibility on his past mindset and behavior.
“I was high asf for past 6 yrs,” Fivio wrote, offering a blunt admission about prolonged drug use.

The statement reframed earlier moments of friction as part of a larger struggle, not calculated disrespect. He followed that with a declaration of growth.
“I’m sober now & a conversation needs to b had,” he added, making clear that he views sobriety as a turning point and a chance to clean up unfinished business.
The post ended simply: “hit me.” The direct ask suggested Fivio was ready to move the conversation offline and away from public timelines.
Akademiks responded quickly and without hesitation. Retweeting Fivio’s message, he replied, “We gon set it up fo sho.” The response confirmed openness to reconnect and resolve whatever lingered between them.
In an era where rap disputes often escalate online, the exchange stood out. Fivio’s message leaned on honesty and self-reflection, while Akademiks’ reply signaled receptiveness. Together, the moment hinted at a shift from tension to conversation, and possibly, reconciliation.
