Brooklyn drill rapper Fivio Foreign has been arrested for assault following an incident in Edgewater, New Jersey on Saturday, Oct. 10.
As per jail records shared by XXL, the "Big Drip" rapper was booked on a simple assault charge with further details currently unclear. The records show that he currently has not been granted bond, and he is located at the Bergen County Jail. His arrest comes after Fivio has continued to gain popularity, becoming one of the many promising faces at the front of the Brooklyn drill scene.
He kicked off October with the release of his Kenny Beats-produced single "Bop It," which also features Chicago MC Polo G. He also recently linked up with Nas and ASAP Ferg for the King's Disease track and video "Spicy." Just prior to his arrest, he collaborated with fellow drill rapper King Von, who recruited him for "I Am What I Am" and its respective video.
Following the release of his breakthrough project 800 B.C. earlier this year, Fivio has been steadily sharing new music with his fans. It remains to be seen when he will be released from jail, but it's likely that he'll be back releasing music sooner rather than later.

Joe Biden lawn signs are triggering people in certain parts of the country ... like this woman who threatened to sue her neighbor in an epic meltdown captured on video.
Home security footage shows the lady storming up to her neighbor's front door, ringing the doorbell twice and demanding to talk. When the other woman inside says she can't come to the door, the lady breaks out the neighborhood bylaws. Oh, snap!
Her angrily stated argument ... posting a political sign in the front lawn is against neighborhood rules, and she's threatening legal action if her neighbor doesn't "take this Harris, Biden shit down!!!"
She doesn't stop there ... she claims she was gonna have the neighbor sell her house, but is gonna find someone else to do it instead.
After citing the alleged bylaw infraction again, the lady storms away and walks over the lawn right past the Biden sign.
Crazy times.

Boxing superstar Gervonta Davis tells TMZ Sports he can't wait to fight in front of a live crowd on Halloween -- saying he refuses to live in fear of COVID.
As we previously reported, "Tank" (23-0) is taking on Leo Santa Cruz (37-1-1) at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Oct. 31 -- and there WILL be live fans allowed at the event.
So, we asked the undefeated boxer if he was concerned about a possible COVID exposure -- and 25-year-old Davis told us it's just not something he's worried about.
"I'm just only speaking for me as a fighter -- I'm okay with getting sick to please the fans," Davis says.
"If I got sick and I find out that night, I'd be okay with it just knowing that I put on a great show. I did it in front of the fans. I did it for a cause."
Davis says he understands the risks, but ultimately it's worth it for him to fight in front of the fans.
"If I gotta take that hit, then you know I'll quarantine by myself, just knowing that I did it for the fans, and I did something great for the sport and things like that."
"I'm not saying I want that to happen but if that was to happen, I'm okay with taking that lick on the chin. Take that 14 days and stay healthy."
We also spoke with Davis about a possible matchup with Ryan Garcia if he gets through Santa Cruz -- and Davis says he's all the way down.
"Me and Ryan could definitely happen next if both parties get on the same page and make the fight happen."
Davis' promoter Floyd Mayweather has been trying to put the Garcia fight together for years -- despite obvious interest from both fighters.
But, it sounds like it's closer than ever ... and we're here for it.
Portland protesters marked the eve of Columbus Day by toppling 2 statues of American presidents, claiming they represent America's racist history.
The statues were on the route of a march titled, Indigenous People's Day of Rage. Some of the signs read, "Stop honoring racist colonizer murderers." A Lewis and Clark mural was also vandalized with red paint.
The toppled statues were spray painted and unceremoniously left on the ground. The words "stolen land" were painted at the base of Lincoln's statue.
The police tweeted shortly after the statues were taken down, "To those marching downtown: this has been declared a RIOT.” They continued, “All persons must immediately disperse to the NORTH. Failure to adhere to this order may subject you to arrest, citation, or crowd control agents, including, but not limited to tear gas and impact weapons.”
As far as we can tell, no arrests were made for taking the statues down.
Cincinnati Reds great Joe Morgan, one of the greatest second basemen to ever play the game, has died, according to numerous reports. He was 77. He died at his home Sunday in Danville, California, a family spokesman said Monday.
Morgan was suffering from a nerve condition, a form of polyneuropathy.
Morgan's death marked the latest among major league greats this year: Whitey Ford, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Tom Seaver and Al Kaline.
Morgan was a two-time NL Most Valuable Player, a 10-time All-Star and won five Gold Gloves. The 5-foot-7 dynamo known for flapping his left elbow at the plate could hit a home run, steal a base and disrupt any game with his daring.Most of all, he completed Cincinnati\u2019s two-time World Series championship team, driving a club featuring the likes of Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and Tony Perez to back-to-back titles.
Morgan's tiebreaking single with two outs in the ninth inning of Game 7 in 1975 gave the Reds the crown in a classic matchup with Boston, and he spurred a four-game sweep of the Yankees the next season.
In a 22-year career through 1984, Morgan scored 1,650 runs, stole 689 bases, hit 268 homers and batted .271. But those stats hardly reflected his impact on the game.
