Quavo Explained The Origin Of Migos’ ‘Mama!’ Ad-Lib And It’s Connected To Them Being Mischievous Kids

by

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

by

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.”

Rich The Kid Shows Off New Takeoff Pendant

by

Rich The Kid has posted another reminder of his friendship with slain rapper Takeoff. The two were extremely close friends and had even collaborated together. Last year, they released a song together called “Crypto.” As one-third of Migos, Takeoff had experienced quite a bit of success in the industry before his untimely passing. His death sent shockwaves through the industry. Since the rapper’s death, many have taken the time to remember him. Tragically, details have emerged that show that his death was likely entirely avoidable.

Takeoff was just 28 years old when he was shot and killed in Houston, Texas. He was apparently present for a game of dice with his brother and fellow Migos member, Quavo. During the game, a heated argument broke out. Comedian Shawty Shawty spoke to the rapper’s cousins about the incident and provided more context. “Quavo dominates in a whole lot of things, basketball, all of this,” the comedian clarified “So, they say they had been shooting basketball earlier, and then they got to the bowling alley, and they said there was a dice game. And they say that Quavo noticed that the dice were not right, and that’s where the argument started.”

Takeoff Honored By His Friend And Collaborator

Rich The Kid has done quite a bit to pay tribute to his fallen friend. Shortly after Takeoff passed away, Rich posted a touching message to the rapper on his social media. “Today I lost more than a brother. My twin, my best friend, everything. I don’t wanna believe it, I can’t,” he said. “The most humble person I know. We used to share shoes [and] clothes before we made it with no problem! I miss you already. You didn’t deserve that! I can’t stop crying. I love you so much bro, forever.”

In January, Rich revealed that he had gotten a tattoo to honor Takeoff. Now, Rich has shared a video of a pendant he had made for the late rapper. The video shows a circular pendant surrounded by diamonds. In the middle is a rotating piece featuring pictures of Takeoff. The video is soundtracked by the pair’s 2022 collaboration.
