Fivio Foreign has publicly committed to a new path, revealing that he has decided to save himself for marriage as part of a significant faith journey he embarked on earlier this year. The Brooklyn rapper, who has been vocal about his desire for personal growth, shared that the choice to abstain from sexual activity has proven to be the most difficult hurdle in his walk with Jesus.
On Thursday, Sept. 17, Fivio took to X to share his struggle with his followers, writing, “No sex before marriage is the hardest part of my walk with Jesus by farrrrr.”
This commitment is the latest development in a series of life changes for the artist. The shift began in December when Fivio revealed he was entering rehab, expressing a sincere desire to move away from the “dumb decisions” and mistakes that had previously defined his life. “I feel like I’m just at a point where I wanna change,” he stated on social media at the time. “I wanna live and I wanna stop making a lot of dumb decisions and a lot of dumb mistakes that I been making.”
By late July, the rapper began teasing a pivot toward gospel music, a transition he solidified with the release of his track “Chasin,” featuring The Fire Choir. In the song, he reflects on his newfound spiritual focus, rapping, “I said I work this/I went to church for this/I open the bible and I read the word for the nourishment/I say I pray a lot/And I pray that I meet all my purposes/And I pray that he keeping me flourishing/And I pray that use me for encouragement.”
The rapper’s dedication to his faith was further evidenced last month when he shared a video of his baptism, showing him being immersed in a pool while surrounded by supporters in white robes. As Fivio Foreign continues to navigate this new chapter, his transparency regarding the challenges of his faith journey offers a candid look at the complexities of personal and spiritual transformation.
