Offset Said He’s Officially In ‘Album Mode’ Following Delays Last Year

Following the untimely death of his cousin and Migos bandmate Takeoff last year, it looks like Offset is getting back into the gears of making music. Yesterday (March 13), the rapper took to Instagram to share an update on what fans believe will be his second solo album.

In an Instagram Story, he shared a picture of himself wearing a hoodie, protected by a Balenciaga windbreaker. The photo was captioned, “Album mode.” The album was planned to arrive last year, but Offset delayed the project after Takeoff’s death.

In recent months, Offset and his wife, Cardi B have been making lots of public appearances. They did not shy away from any sort of public displays of affection this past weekend at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, or last month at the Grammys. During the Super Bowl, the two appeared in a commercial announcing the launch of their McDonald’s meal.

In an interview with Complex published after the commercial, both Offset and Cardi teased new music of their own.

“I’m just looking forward to the fans hearing this music,” Offset said. “I’ve been making because I [used] a lot of new producers, I did a lot of new sounds, there was some new artists. So I’m just excited for the new chapter.”

Quavo Addresses The Migos Future On His New Single “Greatness”

Last year, it felt as though the Migos were officially done. The unfortunate break-up between hip-hop’s biggest trio came as Quavo and Takeoff embarked on their journey as a duo as Unc and Phew. When they dropped “Hotel Lobby,” it seemed like a strong indication that Culture III was the final bow from Quavo, Takeoff, and Offset together. Over the months that followed, the tension between Quavo and Offset became evident and the future of the Migos was uncertain.

Following Takeoff’s death in November, Quavo and Offset stated that they would be taking a step back to focus on family. They didn’t confirm or deny whether they were on better terms but fans hoped that was the case. Unfortunately, during the Grammys, Quavo and Offset allegedly got into an altercation when the latter tried to join the former onstage during his tribute to Take. Since then, neither has addressed the rumored altercation.

Quavo: Don’t Ask ‘Bout The Group, He Gone, We Gone

It seems as though there won’t be any sort of Migos reunion in the near future between Quavo and Offset. As fans continued to inquire about the future of the two rappers in keeping the Migos alive, Quavo explained on his new song “Greatness” that there is no group without Takeoff. “Came in, swept the game like a storm with the motherfuckin’ flow, n***a, Take’ did that,” he raps. “So don’t ask about the group, he gone, we gone, young n***a, it can’t come back.”

Shortly after that couplet, fans believed that he took a shot at Offset when he rapped, “I can’t kick it with a fake/ And I won’t sleep with the snakes.” Though he didn’t mention names, Quavo previously suggested that there was some level of disloyalty between ‘Set and Quavo, which prevented them from rectifying their relationship. Despite the tension, he later acknowledges the impact that they had on the world. “Never forget that the Migos amazin’/ Look at the ice and the knots in my pants, you know that them young n***as made it,” Quavo raps on the song. In the outro, he shouts out the Migos as “the greatest group in the world.” Check out the video for “Greatness” above. 

Quavo Drops Solo Song “Greatness,” Fans React To Migos Acknowledgement

While Migos has seemingly dismantled after the death of Takeoff, Quavo is ready to dive into a new chapter. His latest work “Greatness” dropped today (February 23rd), and he hasn’t forgotten his roots in the trio. “Never forget that the Migos amazin’,” the 31-year-old raps. Despite shouting out his former group, Quavo makes it clear in his new track that his future is looking solo. He explains within his first verse, “so don’t ask about the group, he gone, we gone, young n*gga, it can’t come back (damn).”

Overall, Quavo’s newest release is an upbeat anthem that further establishes him as an ambitious independent artist. The release follows alleged beef between Quavo and Offset, who most recently were reported to get into a physical altercation at the 65th Grammy Awards. Together, the duo was to perform a tribute to Takeoff, the third Migos member who tragically was killed last November. However, Quavo, who is the late-rappers uncle, supposedly instigated the fight over the performance of “Without You.” The song was created as a personal tribute to his nephew and with the ongoing fights between the rappers, it’s likely that Quavo wanted the emotional moment to be his own.

Quavo Raps That Migos “Can’t Come Back”

While fans were disappointed in the death of Migos, “Greatness” has been applauded as a big next step for Quavo. Twitter users took to the platform to commemorate the group’s 14-year run. “Finna hear the best music he ever made after that sacrifice,” one user tweeted.

But, not all fans are happy with how events have unfolded. In fact, many are upset over the “selfish” route Quavo has taken to music. One user wrote, “of course Migos won’t ever be the same but Quavo is dragging it. He is still beefing with offset and it’s other shit to worry about.” Another commented his disappointed, tweeting “if you told me in 2013 that 10 years later takeoff would be dead and quavo and offset would hate each other i prolly woulda tried to beat yo ass.” You can check out more Twitter reactions down below.

Quavo Shines Bright On New Single “Greatness”

Quavo’s slowly returned to the fold since the unfortunate events that transpired in November 2022. Following the death of Takeoff, Quavo remained under the radar for the remainder of the year with the exception of his speech at his nephew’s funeral. However, his post-Infinity Links plans have begun to materialize when he released a tribute single to Takeoff, “WITHOUT YOU,” which he later performed at the Grammys as part of the In Memoriam segment.

Still, fans have wondered what the following plans were for Quavo, especially since the future of the remaining members of the Migos seemed uncertain. Prior to the release of Only Built For Infinity Links, Quavo confirmed that he was cooking up a solo album, though he hasn’t provided a concrete plan for its release. But, between the release of “WITHOUT YOU,” and his public outings, it seems like we could expect something for him soon.

Quavo Addresses Migos Future & Takeoff Death On “Greatness”

Quavo captured his sorrows on “WITHOUT YOU” but now showcases his resilience in his new single, “Greatness.” On Wednesday night, the Atlanta rapper hit the ‘Gram with a snippet of his latest single before unloading the song and visuals in its entirety. Quavo doesn’t disappoint on this one, sliding through with bars while his flows and ad-libs are reminiscent of early Migos cuts.

The record is an opportunity to get a few things off his chest. While Quavo pays his respect to Takeoff, he reflects on the importance of family and the struggles that he went through to be able to provide for his family. Elsewhere in the single, he addresses the future of the Migos following Takeoff’s passing and shows love to the Quality Control family. Check the single above.

Quotable Lyrics
You remember them MCM backpacks? We was runnin’ around with them racks 
No Wock’, no Wock’, I ain’t never took Wock’ to Poland, I was drinking that Act’ 
Came in, swept the game like a storm with the motherfuckin’ flow, n***a, Take’ did that 
So don’t ask about the group, he gone, we gone, young n***a, it can’t come back
