Fivio Foreign wants to be part of the entertainment during the New York Knicks Championship Parade this coming Thursday.
Earlier Tuesday, the Brooklyn rapper tweeted out, “Idk who need to hear this but I better b performing in that parade in NY on Thursday.” in hopes that he’ll get the attention of someone within the organization. The day before, he also tweeted, “The Knicks made Fivio drop. OMG we needed this,” with a video clip of his new song “GCB Freestyle (Game 4)” attached as he was decked out in Knicks gear and dedicated the track to the Knicks and their historic 29-point comeback last week.
According to ABC 7, the Knicks ticker-tape parade will begin at 10 a.m. ET, and New York City is anticipating one of the biggest crowds they’ve ever seen when it comes to championship parades. The parade route starts at Battery Park and heads north along Broadway through the Canyon of Heroes and will end at City Hall where the players, coaches, and executives will address the fans, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani will present the team with keys to the city.
While local teams like the New York Giants and the New York Yankees have seen tons of success and multiple parades over the years, NYC has long been considered a basketball town. The New York Liberty brought home a title in 2024, but the love affair the city has with the Knicks is unmatched compared to other clubs, especially after they ended a 53-year drought in spectacular fashion taking down Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in five games.
No performances have been announced yet, but you can bet on lifelong fans like Fat Joe and the Wu-Tang Clan to be in attendance.
