Quavo Explained The Origin Of Migos’ ‘Mama!’ Ad-Lib And It’s Connected To Them Being Mischievous Kids
Quavo has shared a few new songs since the tragic passing of his nephew and fellow Migos member Takeoff last year. This includes “Honey Bun,” “Without You,” and “Greatness,” the last of which he used to hint at the end of Migos.
Quavo also recently sat down with Chloe Bailey for Complex‘s G.O.A.T. Talk series. When he was asked to pick a “G.O.A.T. ad-lib,” he answered, “Mama,” and went on to explain why the word was often used by himself, Offset, and Takeoff when they got into trouble at home.
“The story behind the ‘mama’ ad-lib is she used to chase us up and down the house trying to whoop us,” he explained. “And we’d make sure to call her name and say, ‘I’m just playing, mama! I’m just playing, mama! I’m just playing!’
He continued, “Then when she get to you, you say, ‘Mama, mama, mama!’ Only when you in trouble is you calling her name like that.”
In March, Quavo also appeared on NBC’s music show, That’s My Jam, hosted by Jimmy Fallon. He performed a humorous cover of Lil Jon and The Eastside Boyz’s classic song “Get Low,” in which all of the track’s lyrics were changed.

Quavo And Chlöe Share Their “GOAT” Migos Songs
Quavo and Chlöe recently shared the screen in the Peacock original Praise This. The film sees Chlöe play Sam, a wannabe musician who moves from LA to Atlanta after a run-in with the law. She is then forced to join her cousin’s church’s praise team ahead of a national competition. Quavo stars as Ty, a popular rapper in Atlanta.
The film received a 50% critics rating and an 83% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It also fueled rumors that Quavo and Chlöe were dating. However, nearly a month after the film was released, we are still getting content from the two of them. The pair recently appeared on Complex‘s GOAT series to talk all things rap and Atlanta.
Quavo And Chlöe Have Different Favorite Migos Songs
Sitting down with Complex for an interview where the two co-stars interviewed each other, Quavo asked Chlöe what the “GOAT Migos song” was. Her answer was “Stir Fry” (2018). “When we were filming and we were at the trap house, we were like, cooking in the fake kitchen….So Angelica and I were like, we’re doing” before trailing off to sing “Stir Fry”. Quavo also interrupted the question to incredulously ask when, and why, Chlöe was a trap house. When she said it was the one they filmed at for Praise This, Quavo quipped “Oh, I thought you meant a different trap house.”
As for Quavo, his answer was short and sweet – “Bad And Boujee” (2016). He doesn’t give a reason why but they both agree it’s a good Migos song. It is Migos’ biggest and best-known hit. However, it’s something of an easy answer as well. The question was part of Complex‘s GOAT series. Quavo also said that his GOAT Atlanta restaurant was Magic City, a strip club, because of their “GOAT Atlanta wings. And you can go get some lemon pepper and see nice bodies.” He also said Nobu but that it “doesn’t count” because “that’s for all the bougie people”. When Chlöe called him out, saying that she thought he was “bad and boujee”, he responded “nope, just bad. I left the boujee at home.”
