Latto’s new feature on Offset’s Set It Off cut “Fine As Can Be” has fans speculating about rap beef once more. Of course, this is all too common within hip-hop, especially femcees who are pitted against each other and whose alleged subliminals at their peers drive fanbases wild. While much of it is purely speculative and, at worst, creates tensions rather than interprets them, sometimes there can be some weight behind it. However, in the case of the Atlanta rapper’s mention of Ice Spice’s “Munch” on this song, this is probably nothing more than a harmless reference or a really bad diss if she was trying.
“That n***a a munch, your booking fee, ate it for lunch,” Latto rapped on “Fine As Can Be.” “I don’t do backends, need it up front, I’m big dog, you b***hes is runts. Don’t pull wigs, don’t pull stunts, I pull triggers and I pull blunts.” As you can see, there isn’t really a direct or subliminal diss in sight on this record, at least these specific parts. Still, the very thought of an Ice Spice mention already sent fans into that zone, and they can find those hints in places they never existed in.
Furthermore, fan theories on Ice Spice and Latto’s beef because quite common this year. It first began with the latter seemingly refusing to remember lyrics by the former- at least, that’s how die-hards interpreted it. Regardless of instances of potential shade like these, the 777 artist denied any narratives that people created from these statements, posts, and the like. Since then, various other songs came out from both artists that seemingly contained subtle digs at each other. For example, on “Butterfly Ku,” the Bronx hitmaker raps “Where she at? On the floor, she getting money, but I’m getting more.”
Whether that’s a “Put It On Da Floor” reference or not, it’s clear that these rumors won’t stop anytime soon. It’s unfortunate that they’re mostly the result of fans pitting a Nicki Minaj collaborator against a Cardi B collaborator and not the result of actual direct grievances with each other. That’s not to say that they should have them, but it would at least be more genuine. Even the Nicki and Cardi cold war is mostly fueled by the fans, so we’ll see if they ever change their ways and let femcees be femcees without sparking animosity.

Offset has just released his latest album, SET IT OFF. This 21-track project is a deeply personal endeavor for Offset, serving as a form of healing for himself and a heartfelt message to his devoted fans and supporters.
SET IT OFF boasts a star-studded guest list, including Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Future, Cardi B, Mango Foo, Latto, Young Nudy, and Chlöe. The album promises diverse sounds and lyrical depth, reflecting Offset’s growth and experiences.
Offset dropped the official music video for “SAY MY GRACE” featuring Travis Scott to celebrate the album’s launch. The visually captivating video was filmed in Pattaya, Thailand, at The Sanctuary of Truth Museum, Nong Noch Botanical Gardens, and the Pattaya Floating Market earlier this year. Directed by Maya Table and executive produced by Offset and SheShe Pendleton, the video offers a cinematic and artistic visual experience.
Leading up to the album release, Offset treated fans to tracks like “JEALOUSY” featuring Cardi B and “FAN.” “JEALOUSY” quickly gained popularity on major hip-hop playlists across digital streaming platforms, amassing over 76 million combined global streams. The song’s accompanying video, inspired by the 2001 film Baby Boy, has garnered over 19 million views.
SET IT OFF is now available for your listening pleasure, offering a dynamic and personal journey through Offset’s musical and emotional landscape.
Offset‘s second solo album, Set It Off is finally here. On the new album, the former Migo reflects on his career, and while he’s faced some adversity, he is grateful for how his hard work has paid off. On a track called “Say My Grace,” Offset teams up with Travis Scott, and they both indulge in their riches.
“Made room on my plate, I just said my grace and then I ate / Got a particular taste / I just stuffed my pockets and my face,” raps Offset on the song’s chorus.
On his verse, Offset finds himself talking to God, alluding to the death of his Migos bandmate Takeoff, as well as his grandmother. While he finds that his faith has been tested in recent times, he continues to move forward, keeping his foot on the gas.
Scott pops in, detailing how his reaped the fruits of his labor.
“I filled up the crib with cars, the halls, with all and all, and I’m still having space / Got a particular taste, picky eater, I guess, but I’m still stuffing my face,” raps Scott on his verse.
You can see the video for “Say My Grace” above.

During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, former Migos member Offset finally broke his silence on his relationship with fellow former Migos member Quavo. He also hinted at the possibility of future music collaborations while expressing his desire to explore business ventures and more. Offset Speaks On His Relationship With Quavo On October 11, […]
At the stroke of midnight tonight, Offset Mania will ensue as he releases his anticipated album, Set It Off. The sophomore effort follows the Migos hitmaker’s explosive 2019 debut, Father of 4, which found success at its peak No. 4 position on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The industry often worries if an artist’s second go-round will be as successful as the first. Still, because so much has happened in the four years since Father of 4, fans are poised with the expectation that Offset will address most of his most scathing controversies in what is slated to be another chart-topper.
We’ve seen the highs and lows of Offset and Cardi B’s marriage become critical conversations on social media. This is especially true as rumors of infidelities plague the couple. Also, Offset’s move to a solo career was heavily debated amid chatter that he’d split from his Migos family. Then, of course, the rapper’s world was shaken when Takeoff, a best friend he considered a “cousin” since they were kids, was shot and killed almost one year ago in Houston. Further, who can forget his epic clapbacks during his Bobbi Althoff interview? As these hot topics are weighed by admirers and naysayers alike, Offset sat down with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 to discuss Set It Off, why now is the perfect time for its release, and how the family has kept him grounded.
“I’m so excited for this project. You just don’t know, man. I feel— I’m proud of myself, man. I never be proud of myself, I never give myself no pats. But I’m proud of myself, bro. I know I put a big effort into it. I stepped outside of the box, like I said, and I took my time and didn’t rush the product. I’m not settling for the past. I want progression through the future. I wanted to, especially with this project, progress as an artist and not bottle my talents like dancing. That’s why in my videos, I’ve been bringing those elements out of me because I feel like the more you entertain the people, and the more you show people who you are, the more they accept you and follow your lead.
“Even me doing interviews and speaking more, I’ve been wanting to do that. Because people need to understand Offset. I’m not a serious guy, I’m a funny guy. I’m very creative. I love to speak, and I know how to speak well as an adult. Man, like you saying, man, I just want to elevate my sound and elevate… I do appreciate all the things I’ve been through. You know what I’m saying? Everything’s been great, and I love the blessings, but I just want more. I’m hungry for more and to challenge myself to get better.”
“I felt like I was supposed to drop last year, and it would’ve been the wrong time. It would’ve been overlooked, and the music wasn’t there yet. So I didn’t. I’m glad I held back to make sure that the sound of the music was good and also the story that could match what I’m trying to do. It was hard, too, though, because, like you saying, that cycle going. You watching other people go, you watching new people come every day. Then it’s like, ‘Am I getting… I need to drop.’”
“At one point, I was like, ‘Man, I need just drop. I need to drop, I need to…’ Honestly, bro, I’ve never felt good about an album because I always was nervous, or think you too much into it like, ‘Damn, what if this ain’t the song? We put out the wrong song.’ But this one, I’m confident, bro. I feel good, man, I feel like I did—I know I challenged myself. I know I took it to the next level for me. As an individual, not about everybody else, but me as an individual, bro, as an artist, challenging myself to do different things. I salute myself because I was stubborn for a long time.”
On Growing As An Artist & Working With New Producers
“I want to grow, and I’m cool to grow, and I accept the growth. I just feel like every year, every time, you should always be growing … What my whole mission for this album was, was to not get caught up in ‘I’m that guy.’ I feel like sometimes, when you get caught up in that, you create the same thing because you’re comfortable in that element. Then, in this day and age, people is pointing that sh*t out now. Like, ‘Oh, this sounds the same. This sounds the same.’”
“I feel like a lot of people talk down on the A&R like you don’t need them. But they bring you another element that you wouldn’t have thought of, or they might tell you to work with these producers instead of working with the old producers. The only two producers I worked with that’s on this album that’s previous was Metro [Boomin] and Southside. The rest like, Vinylz, Boy Wonder, and even Taste the Money, I had not really had no product out with these guys.”
On Takeoff & Migos’s Legacy

“Take had that…he just had good character. He was a good person at heart, away from none of this jewelry and music and fame, which was never a part of his agenda. He just was like, ‘I make music with people that love my music, and I love everybody.’ He’s a loving person, man. It was just a tragedy my boy had to go like that, man. But I’m pushing for him, too. Legacy, the group thing is it. Can’t be a group because our main member is missing. That’s what people don’t… It’s not nothing against it with us. Just like, for us, we just can’t continue that way.
“But even on my own journey, I still feel his presence and his energy, like, ‘Bro, we got to go hard. We got to win. We got to win. This ain’t the end of it. We got to win.’ So, that’s another thing that pushed me through is my boy, Take, man. I know he always would want… He didn’t care that he didn’t care about the numbers, nothing. He like, ‘Bro, y’all’s sh*t hard.’ He’s just very supportive in that. I just keep that in the back of my mind and just keep pushing. Just keep pushing.”
Advice For His Younger Self

“I would tell myself to pay attention more and not to move so fast. When you first getting on, it’s like, oh, show, show, show, show. You’re not really figuring out a strategy onto what your long-term is. So, I would prepare myself for longterm instead of in the moment. I was always in the moment, in the moment, in the moment, in the moment, but never wanted to be an ‘in the moment artist.’ If you look at all the greats, the longevity is always reinventions. It’s always working outside of the box of what you usually do.
“My younger self, I would say, slow down and pay attention. Learn the game, learn yourself. Learn yourself first. Understand who you are as a person. Because that’s what helped me also with this album, understanding who I am as a person. I was having downtime. Music is up and down, not putting product out for a long time.”
On Approaching This Era With New Hunger
“Everybody want to go big, macho man. But I want to be able to just build my sh*t. I’m not afraid to jump in. I’m jumping into it like a new artist. I feel like if I do that, it’ll help me learn more, and then I will see the bumps instead of have a big head. ‘Well, I’m Offset. I come from the biggest rap group, or I got number one song, I got solo songs. They went crazy.’ Instead of getting into that bag, which I was maybe two years ago, it’s like, nah, bro, slow down. Show these people that you can do this. Build a show where people love Offset.”
“That has kept my head on my shoulders… being home with my family is also another reminder of why I do things. Then, them being able to be close to me and to hold me tight because I needed family for a long time, man. People think everything is peaches and cream with an artist. You go through mental things, you go through things with your family, you go through confidence things, you go through creative block. I had a creative block for a minute, and then in the summer, I had all my kids around, and that helped me be able to get back into, ‘Yo.’
“Because my son was like, ‘Dad, I want to hear some new songs.’ It was like, ‘Dang, okay.’ Like they giving me more life when I felt like I was draining. It just gave me—hearing my boys be like, ‘Dad, man, we want to hear your new music. When your new album going to drop? You need to come on.’ It just sparked the juice. Okay, let’s get back into the grind mode. Let’s get back into it.”
Stream Set It Off on all major platforms on Friday, October 13th.
Ahead of the release of his album this Friday, Offset made a visit to The Breakfast Club. During his time with Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, Offset spoke about his relationship with Quavo, revealing everything is all good.
“That’s my brother at the end of the day,” Offset quickly replied to a question by DJ Envy. “We good though, bro, we just linked up in Paris.”
Offset is getting ready for his latest album, Set it Off, revealing a tracklist with many A-list stars coming aboard for features. Hitting social media, Offset revealed the tracklist for the album featuring his wife, Cardi B, Yung Nudy, Chloe, Travis Scott, Latto, Future, and more.
Motown Records has set the stage for the release of Offset’s first solo studio album since 2019’s acclaimed Father of Four. Titled Set It Off, the album is scheduled to drop on Oct. 13, marking a highly anticipated return for the prolific artist.
With the album’s pre-order launch, Offset has unveiled his fierce and infectious new single, “FAN.” This track was crafted with the collaborative efforts of producers Aaron Bow, FNZ, Teddy Walton, Thank You Fizzle, and Thurdi.
In an exciting twist, Offset directed the official music video for “FAN,” paying homage to the legendary Michael Jackson. The video features Offset and Paige Hurd (Power Book II: GHOST, Tyler Perry’s The Oval, Everybody Hates Chris) in a narrative that takes unexpected turns as the streets around them erupt in turmoil. The video also includes appearances by Twitch star/streamer Kai Cenat and Twitch star Fanum, all set against the backdrop of Los Angeles.
Offset’s return to the spotlight promises to be an electrifying moment for fans, as Set It Off aims to solidify his status as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
Quavo and Offset haven’t collaborated since Migos split up in 2021/2022, but a collaboration could be in the future according to Offset. In a new interview with The Breakfast Club, Offset said his and Quavo’s relationship is “good” and that the two have made an effort to keep disagreements out of the public eye.
“That’s my brother at the end of the day,” he said. “We good though. We just spoke in Paris.” He asserted that “it’s all love” between the two, even if they won’t be “crying on Instagram,” as Charlamagne put it, anytime soon. As far as a potential collaboration, he said, “I think so,” but added that he has his own business and family issues to handle, so the timing would be key, as always.
Certainly, the two rappers are in a much better place than they once were. By last August, it appeared that their relationship was totally severed as Quavo and Takeoff promoted their album Only Built For Infinity Links. Meanwhile, after Takeoff’s death, it was rumored that Quavo had blocked Offset from participating in the Grammys’ tribute to their fallen brother, prompting a backstage brawl.
Still, the two seem to have hashed out most of their differences — at least, enough to perform their Takeoff tribute at the BET Awards without the previous fighting. While they aren’t the type to put their personal issues on the timeline (or in their music, much), if they’re back on speaking terms then new music is always a possibility, even if Migos as a group is officially defunct.

Back in February, Don Toliver released his third studio album, Love Sick. Days later, the Houston-native singer released a deluxe edition of the album. Still, fans are pressing for new music.
Offset, one-third of rap group Migos, is gearing up to drop new music. Like Toliver’s fans, Offset’s fans are also anticipating a new album from him, and thankfully, his second solo album Set It Off is arriving very soon. As the date gets closer, the album’s collaborations have been a buzzy topic.
In the past, the two artists have delivered a fire collabs in the form of 2019’s “Had Enough,” which also features Quavo. But fans have been wondering if Offset and Toliver will link up for another collab.
Do Offset and Don Toliver have a new song coming?
Offset and Toliver have once again collaborated. Their upcoming song, “Worth It” will appear as the third track on Set It Off.
Snippets of the song have surfaced online, on which, Toliver sings, “You got me, got me workin’ / I hope it’s worth it,” over a smooth, afro-fusion-inspired beat.
Offset is finally dropping his much-anticipated second solo album, Set It Off. Over the course of the past few months, the former Migo has demonstrated his rap chops on new tracks, leading up to a promising project.
