Brooklyn rapper Fivio Foreign, whose real name is Maxie Lee Ryles III, has pleaded guilty to third-degree terroristic threats in a New Jersey court. This plea is related to a New Year’s Day incident where he allegedly pointed a gun at a woman who approached him for assistance with her vehicle. As part of the plea deal, four additional charges, including unlawful possession of a weapon and aggravated assault, are expected to be dismissed.
Fivio has been in custody since his arrest on January 18, 2025. His attorney, Adam Lustberg, expressed optimism that the court will take into account the time already served and grant probation when sentencing occurs in August.
The incident took place in Edgewater, New Jersey, when a woman sought Fivio’s help to jumpstart her car. According to police reports, he allegedly displayed a firearm and issued a warning, stating, “If I see you parked in front of this building again, there is going to be a f problem.” Surveillance footage reportedly supports the woman’s account, and witnesses were able to identify Fivio at the scene.
This legal situation adds to a series of controversies for the rapper, including a previous incident in 2024 where he faced public backlash for posting a video that depicted drug use.
As Fivio Foreign navigates these legal challenges, fans and followers are keen to see how this will impact his career moving forward. Stay tuned to HipHopRaisedMeTheBlog.com for updates on this story and other significant developments in the music industry.
