Once Ma$e allegedly took his cut, Fivio was then given an advance out of the remainder of what was left from his overall deal of $1.7 million.

In his other ventures, Mase has founded the record label RichFish Records, through which he signed rapper Fivio Foreign in 2019.
In summary, Mase's main issues revolved around financial disputes over royalties, creative control over his music, and the pressure put on him by Diddy's management that burned him out and caused him to retire from the industry at a young age.
Fivio claims that when he first signed with Ma$e's RichFish label in 2018, $750,000 of the $1.7 million deal went directly back to the Harlem rap legend himself. "I got the 1.7," Fivio Foreign explains at the -mark in the video below.
After Betha returned to Harlem, he and his childhood friend Cam'ron began rapping as a hobby under the names Murda Mase and Killa Cam, briefly forming a group known as the Children of the Corn ("corn" short for "corner") with fellow Harlem rappers Big L, Herb McGruff, Six Figga Digga and Bloodshed.
