Drip is pretty important for any rapper these days, as a clean fit could get you more attention than a decent single. However, many MCs try very hard to stand out, and that experimentation leads to mixed results. Moreover, people are clowning Fivio Foreign for wearing the viral red boots from MSCHF. You know, the ones that look like Astro Boy's legs. Anyways, he showed off the kicks in a TikTok video dancing to YN Jay's "Perc & Sex" with his friends. The video posted on Wednesday (February 8) quickly caught some hilarious reactions on social media.

Furthermore, one Twitter user wrote "Nah he ain’t from Brooklyn no more my son from the #universalcircus" with a laughing emoji. Another added, "Everytime I see these boots all I think about is Mario bros and yoshi and hear the boing boing sound." Still, a few people were nice enough to compliment his overall fit. He wore a black leather jacket and black pants, with a whole lot of red on his feet. "The boots are definitely ugly but they look cute with his outfit." Even though these boots are all over social media, only a few see the vision in favor of ridiculing it.

"What kills me about celebrities is that if something gets enough hype on social media, you’ll see them wearing it, ugly or not," a tweeter expressed. "Why the f**k is Brooklyn n***a Fivio Foreign in them Pacman/Astroboy/Boots The Monkey ass boots? No matter how you dress it, ITS UGLY. Rih can’t save it." Despite the backlash, it's likely that Fivio won't break a sweat and will continue to wear whatever he pleases. Most recently at the Grammys, he wore an all-pink ensemble with a fur-lined coat, sneakers, and sunglasses to boot.

Meanwhile, the drill icon's already started his year off hot. For example, just a few weeks ago, he dropped "Notice Me" with a few rising drill stars. Moreover, these are Tata, Jenn Carter, and Kyle Richh. Given that Fivio's already established, it's heartening to see him reach out to that next generation of stars. Only time will tell what will happen when they ask him for fashion advice. Regardless, let us know what you think of Fivio Foreign's big red boots in the comments.
