by

The world of celebrity relationships is always ripe for speculation, especially involving two famous artists from the hip-hop scene. The internet is always buzzing about Saweetie—the star known for her hit song “My Type.” However, there are rumors about her and Offset, a member of the chart-topping group Migos and husband of Cardi B. Saweetie is said to be dating these days; the internet can’t help but bring up her relationship with Quavo, Offset’s groupmate and cousin.

Saweetie and Offset were rumored to have a romantic relationship in early 2021. However, both parties denied the rumors and claimed they were just friends. In March 2021, Saweetie announced that she had broken up with her boyfriend, Quavo, after two years of dating. Shortly after the announcement, TMZ posted a video of Quavo and Saweetie getting into a physical altercation in an elevator.

Following the video’s release, rumors circulated that Saweetie had cheated on Quavo with Offset. However, Saweetie and Offset denied the allegations. Despite the denials, fans speculate about the alleged relationship between Saweetie and Offset. Some have even gone as far as to create conspiracy theories about the situation.

Quavo & Takeoff’s Song Fueled Rumors

Soon after, Quavo’s new album with Takeoff, Only Built For Infinity Links, was released in October 2022, and fans believed that the song “Messy” was Quavo was alluding to an affair. Although Quavo did not mention specific names, many fans believe he was referring to his cousin Offset sleeping with his girlfriend Saweetie, implying that it was the reason behind the Migo’s sudden break up in November 2022.

Cardi B, Offset’s wife, was unusually silent on the matter. The rapping queen has been known to speak out on speculations about her personal life. However, Cardi B explained on The Jason Lee Podcast that she didn’t want to feed into the rumors. “You know why I was quiet?” Cardi asked. “I was quiet because one thing I’m gonna do, I’m gonna find out the truth. And you know that I was finding out that truth.”

So far, neither Saweetie nor Offset has issued a public statement addressing the rumors. Saweetie, who has over 15 million followers on Instagram, has posted on her social media since the scandal broke out. Still, none of them directly refer to Offset or the allegations. Offset has been active on Twitter, but his tweets have not mentioned Saweetie or the rumors. He has retweeted some positive messages from fans and promoted music-related projects. Still, his silence on the topic has fueled speculation that he may be trying to avoid the controversy.

Offset and Quavo are not only bandmates but also cousins. They grew up together in Georgia and had been making music together for over a decade. Their close relationship is apparent in their music. Their relationship has been the subject of various rumors and controversies. The most recent dispute between the two was during the 2023 Grammys. According to TMZ, the groupmates argued with one another backstage. All this reportedly happened before Quavo went on stage to honor Takeoff, the late third member of Migos, during the “In Memoriam” portion of the Grammys. However, Offset extinguished rumors that he and his fellow Migos member got into an altercation, saying, “What tf look like fighting my brother.”

Saweetie and Quavo’s relationship was filled with drama. One of the most controversial moments occurred in March 2021 when a video surfaced online showing the couple in a physical altercation in an elevator. The video sparked outrage and concern among fans, with many calling for Quavo to be held accountable for his actions.

Following the incident, Saweetie released a statement on Twitter, saying that she had endured “too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes.” She also said she was “emotionally checked out” of the relationship. Quavo also addressed the situation, saying that he had never physically abused Saweetie and was disappointed that their private dispute had become public.

Social Media Reactions

The news of Saweetie and Offset’s alleged affair has caused a stir on social media. Some fans have pointed out that the rumors are baseless. It is unfair to attack the artists without concrete evidence. Many support the two, stating that they should be allowed to live without constant scrutiny and criticism.

Is Takeoff Actually Quavo’s Nephew?

by

Takeoff, a member of the Atlanta rap trio Migos, was killed outside a Houston bowling alley at 28 years old. Despite the Migos being one of the most famous rap groups of the last decade, many questions have risen about the group since Takeoff’s passing. One of these is regarding the Migos’ familial relationship. As their rap name is a take on the “three amigos,” many believed that the three members, Quavo, Takeoff, and Offset, were brothers. However, that is not the case. Let’s find out if Takeoff is actually Quavo’s nephew.

Quavo & Takeoff’s Relationship

Takeoff is in fact Quavo’s nephew despite the two being only three years apart. Takeoff’s mother is Quavo’s older sister, and Offset is Takeoff’s cousin. Quavo’s mother, Edna Marshall, raised all three members in Gwinnett County in the northern suburbs of Atlanta. So, despite their actual blood relations, the three see each other as brothers. This led to their name, the Migos, and all three members refer to each other as brothers.

The Migos first started making music together in 2009 under the name “Polo Club.” The trio was inspired by other Southern rap groups such as Outkast and the Hot Boys. Quavo was a star quarterback for his high school football team but dropped out to pursue music. The three officially changed their name to Migos in 2010 and gained regional success in 2012 with their song “Bando.” The song caught the attention of producer Zaytoven and manager Coach K, who helped launch the careers of Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy.

The Migos blew up in 2013 with their almost overnight hit “Versace.” The song caught the attention of Drake, and the Canadian rapper remixed the song with a verse of his own. From there, as is said, the rest is history. Migos have since dropped seven albums, including the Culture trilogy, and the three are now seen as possibly the most influential rap group of this generation.

Takeoff’s memorial, a large celebration of life, was held on November 11, 2022, at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. Both Quavo and Offset spoke at the memorial, and Quavo shared his speech on Instagram. In Quavo’s post he wrote, “Dear Take, It’s so hard to tell you Ima miss you because you always with me and we did everything together. Since we were kids you been by my side lookin up at me, them eyes waiting on me to make the next move…then you followed up right behind me. You always made sure I did it first so you can do it right with me. You never competed with me, we were always on same team.” Quavo also shared many childhood pictures of Takeoff and mentioned their dream was to be tag team partners in the WWE.

Quavo also wrote, “Quietest in the room but paid attention to everything going on in the room. Always been like that!!! Nothing ever really bothered Take and he didn’t bother anybody. He the most unbothered person in the world.” In addition to this, Quavo wrote that Takeoff’s dream was always to become a rapper. “He never worried about titles, credit, or what man got the most shine, that wasn’t him. He didn’t care about none of that as along we brought it back home to the family!”

Quavo’s Comments On His & Takeoff’s Relationship

In Quavo’s speech at Takeoff’s memorial, he also gave insight into the two’s relationship and how they saw each other. Quavo wrote, “This whole time I’ve been trying to figure what you really are to me because nephew wasn’t it. We hated that word ‘nephew’ or when they said ‘Unc and Phew’ cuz we always knew we were way closer than that and it made me feel old too. But I knew you weren’t my brother cuz you are my sister’s son, so I couldn’t say brother.” He added, “Now I finally get it….you are OUR angel watching me and watching us this whole time in living form making sure EVERYONE FELT UR LOVE AND HUGS while u here and u made our dreams come true. Whenever u spoke it, it manifested it when u said ‘God gonna do it,’ he did it.”

Quavo ended his tribute to Takeoff with,  “I love you with all my heart. I’ll never leave you…I guess God jus ain’t need my help. So can you ask Him for me what I gotta do to be with you again!!! In a place where there’s no pain, no demons, no jealousy, no envy, no greed. Whatever we have to do God to be at that place of paradise send us the tools now cuz we want be with Take. Love you nephew!”

Offset Claims Quality Control Music Is Interfering With Ability To Release Music: Report

by

The rift between Offset and Quality Control may seem quiet on social media, but it’s heating up in the courtroom. The Migos star has gone to war with the label he once loved concerning his rights as a solo artist. Rumors about tension within Migos surfaced, and they were bolstered when Takeoff and Quavo released a joint project, Unc & Phew. Offset then pursued his solo career, which was quickly halted when the news of a lawsuit was shared.

The rapper reportedly took Quality Control Music to court, and they’ve been warring over who owns his solo recordings. The label wants to be credited, but it seems Offset is looking to distance himself. Radar Online claims to have obtained documents about the case, and the Rap star reportedly said QCM was interfering with his ability to release new music. In 2021, reads the documents, Set “came to understand the full ramification of the deal that he entered into.”

Offset & Quality Control Music At Odds

DECATUR, GA – August 23: Pierre “Pee” Thomas and Offset of the Group “Migos” attend Lil Yachty’s Surprise Birthday Lunch at Cici’s Pizza on August 23, 2016 in Decatur, Georgia.

After reviewing his contract, Set wanted to fly solo, contending he and QCM even negotiated a deal. In it, he could “reclaim the rights to his solo recording and songwriting,” Radar reported. Further, Offset stated he paid his label “handsomely” for the rights to his music. However, after releasing his track “54321,” QCM reportedly attempted to claim rights to the song.

“Offset now brings this action to vindicate his rights and make it clear to the world that Offset, not Quality Control, owns Offset’s music,” the lawsuit read. Meanwhile, Quality Control Music has asked for the suit to be tossed. According to Radar Online: “The label claimed it had an agreement with Capitol Records that required Capitol to assign all of Capitol’s rights in sound recordings obtained by Quality Control’s ‘Accepted Artist’ that it had furnished to Capitol back to Quality Control.” The rapper wants his newer agreement with QCM to trump whatever agreement the label had.

New Beginnings

Additionally, the rapper’s lawyer stated, “Quality Control no longer owns the copyright to Offset’s solo sound recordings and is no longer licensing Offset’s solo sound recordings to Capitol, and Capitol has acquired ownership of Offset’s solo sound recordings directly from Offset.” We’ll keep you updated as this case continues to unfold.

Rappers With Signature Rap Snacks Flavors

by

Rap Snacks was formed by James Lindsay, a self-proclaimed “snack food connoisseur” who wanted to mix his love for food and Hip-Hop culture. With the help of family and friends, Lindsay began with the company with $40,000, and after meeting with distributors, he sold 800 cases of Rap Snacks within two hours. Rap Snacks laid low for many years due to issues with producers and the size of its bags. However, Complex reports in 2007, Romeo Miller purchased Rap Snacks from Lindsay, and the brand has grown significantly within the past few years into a $30 million business. Let’s take a look at rappers who have been featured with their own Rap Snacks flavor. This isn’t a comprehensive list, but here are a few noteworthy names.

Migos & Lil Durk

The Atlanta rap group, Migos, has four Rap Snacks flavors. All of their flavors include “a dab of ranch” in reference to the dance move popularized by the Migos in their song “Look at my Dab.” The Migos Rap Snacks flavors include “Bar-B-Quin’ with My Honey with a Dab of Ranch” chips, “Sour Cream with a Dab of Ranch” chips, “White Cheddar with a Dab of Ranch” popcorn, and “White Cheddar with a Dab of Ranch” cheese puffs. Lil Durk currently has four Rap Snacks flavors. They include “Durkio’s Hot Puffin Fries,” “Durkio’s Flames Hot Crunchables,” “Durkio’s Hot Puffin Fries with Ranch,” and “Buttermilk Ranch Oowee Wavy” chips.

Lil Baby

Lil Baby has six Rap Snacks flavors of his own. Many of Lil Baby’s flavors include various tastes from separate chips, described as “All In.” The flavors include “All In Nocho Nachos” which includes salt and vinegar, BBQ, onion, garlic, and nacho cheese flavors; “All In Cheese Popcorn,” which has salt and vinegar, BBQ, onion, garlic, and cayenne pepper flavors; “Bar-B-Quin’ with my Honey Heat” chips; “All In Potato Chips” which includes salt and vinegar, BBQ, onion, and garlic flavors; “Cheddar Cheese and Sour Cream” chips; and “All In Hot Potato Chips” which includes salt and vinegar, BBQ, onion, garlic, and cayenne pepper flavors. Lil Baby is also the face of the Rap Snacks line of Oowee lemonade drinks.

Moneybagg Yo, Nicki Minaj, & Rick Ross

Moneybagg Yo boasts four Rap Snacks flavors. All of Moneybagg Yo’s snacks are of the hot variety. They include “Heat vs. Hot” gourmet popcorn, “Heat vs. Hot” potato chips, “Dill Pickle Jalapeno” potato chips, and “Hot Rings.” Nicki Minaj’s flavors are truffle style in reference to her hit song featuring Lil Wayne and Drake, “Truffle Butter.” They include “Sour Cream and Ranch Truffle” potato chips, “Bar-B-Quin’ with my Honey” truffle potato chips, and “Salt and Vinegar Truffle” potato chips. Meanwhile, Rick Ross has three flavors, as well. Rap Snacks proves another food-related business venture for The Boss as he also owns many WingStop and Cheddar’s locations. Ross’ Rap Snacks flavors include “Sweet Chili Lemon Pepper” gourmet popcorn, “Rozay Cheddar Oowee Wavy” potato chips, and “Sweet Chili Lemon Pepper” potato chips.

Romeo Miller

As aforementioned, Romeo Miller, the son of Hip-Hop legend Master P, reportedly purchased the company in 2007. Miller has had various disputes with his father about Rap Snacks, as he stated that Master P withheld the money he made with the company for fifteen years. In 2020, Miller said he had finally been paid his money for his earnings and endorsements. He was one of the first rappers featured on Rap Snacks’ bags, and his signature flavor is “Bar-B-Quin’ with my Honey” potato chips.

Discontinued Flavors

Both Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty and New Jersey artist Fetty Wap once had Rap Snacks items which have since been discontinued. It is uncertain why their flavors have been canceled, yet both rappers can say their face was on a Rap Snacks bag. Lil Yachty’s and Fetty Wap’s Rap Snacks can be found online on other sites. Each rapper had only one signature flavor made. Yachty’s was called “Oowee Hot Cheese Fries,” while Fetty had “Honey Jalapeno.”

Rap Snacks Icons

Rap Snacks also has a series of flavors for “icons” of Hip-Hop. Snoop Dogg is a legendary hip-hop artist with Rap Snacks Icon flavors. These include “Cheddar BBQ Nocho Nachos,” “O.G. Bar-B-Que Cheddar Puffs,” and “O.G. Bar-B-Que Cheddar” potato chips. The late legendary New York Hip-Hop artist Notorious B.I.G. also has one, as well. Biggie’s signature flavor is “Honey Jalapeno” potato chips. Master P has “Bar-B-Quin’ with my Honey” cheese puffs and “Honey BBQ Oowee Wavy” potato chips.

His signatures are “Louisiana Heat Wavy” chips and “Louisiana Heat” cheese puffs. Boosie also has a “Louisiana Heat Hot & Spicy Chicken” ramen flavor. E-40, too, has his own Rap Snacks ramen flavor: “Beef Prime Rib.”

Offset Teased A New Song Featuring A Posthumous Verse From Takeoff

While the death of Takeoff at just 28 years old was already tragic, the tragedy was exacerbated by the fact that at the time of his death, he and fellow Migos member Quavo were apparently on the outs with the third member of their trio, Offset. As Quavo and Takeoff promoted their new album as a duo, Offset hinted at plans of releasing a solo project of his own.

Offset put those plans on pause with the death of his former bandmate, but now, it looks like he’s ready to begin his rollout once again. And, on an especially bittersweet note, it appears that he may have still been working with the late Takeoff. On Monday, he shared a clip of a new song on his Instagram Story that features a verse from Takeoff alongside another from fellow Quality Control records rapper Icewear Vezzo. The clip eventually circulated online:

While it’s currently unknown if this posthumous verse was recorded specifically for Offset’s solo project or taken from an older recording session, it’s both encouraging and deflating to know that there was a possibility the two cousins could be mending fences. Before Takeoff’s death, it did appear that whatever the issue was, it appeared to center on Quavo and Offset, who were rumored to have gotten into an altercation at the recent Grammy Awards over a tribute to their fallen bandmate. Both rappers denied that a fight took place.

Quality Control Honored With Their Own Official Day In Atlanta

by

There’s no doubt that Quality Control cemented its name. What they’ve done in Atlanta set a standard that allowed a new generation of artists to come into the game. Atlanta is home to some of the greatest rappers of all time. However, not every label that emerged from the city saw the same success as Quality Control. Kevin “Coach K” Lee and Pierre “P” Thomas transformed bubbling local rappers into the biggest success stories in rap. To this day, they continue to do so while expanding well beyond the realms of the A.

Today, the city of Atlanta honored the label with its very own day. City officials dubbed March 15th, 2023 “QC Day” in the city. On the label’s official Instagram page, they shared a letter from State Representative Park Cannon who commended Lee and Thomas. “You have been chosen to be honored on QC Day because you have worked diligently at your craft and brought millions of dollars in revenue along with notoriety to the City of Atlanta,” the letter reads. “As State Representative, I am elated at the opportunity to recognize your hard work in the Georgia State House Of Representatives.”

Quality Control Day In Atlanta

The news of QC Day in Atlanta comes a few weeks after Hybe acquired Quality Control in a $300M deal. However, Lee and Thomas will continue to have full control and creative direction of the company. “P and I are ecstatic about this partnership with Scooter and Hybe and are confident they can get us to our global ambitions we’ve had in our scope since the beginning of the company as nothing means more than our artists impacting worldwide,” Lee said in a statement. “Over many years, Scooter and I have cultivated real trust and a common way of looking at the world and culture.”

Quality Control launched in 2013 with Migos leading their roster. The group’s relationship with the label became strained in recent times due to Offset’s lawsuit against QC. However, they’ve expanded with the signing of artists like Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, and the City Girls. They also boast Solid Foundation Management branch, which manages artists like Trippie Redd. With the new deal with Hybe, and their official day in Atlanta, there’s no telling where Quality Control will head in the next decade.
