We’re less than a week away from the release of Quavo and Takeoff’s upcoming album, Only Built For Infinity Links. The new project will be their first as a duo, sans Offset. However, Quavo and Takeoff haven’t sounded as revitalized in the past five years as they have on the slew of singles they released since May’s “Hotel Lobby (Unc & Phew).”
Today, the duo slid through with their fourth and presumably final single before the album drops in its entirety. “Never Changed” boasts production from Murda Beatz, Keanu Beats, and Fabio Aguilar, who create a spacey soundscape for Quavo and Takeoff. The two artists come through with honeyed melodies, paired with ostentatious bars that reflect their wealth and loyalty.
Only Built For Infinity Links will boast features from Birdman, Gucci Mane, Summer Walker, Young Thug, Gunna, and more.
Check out their new song below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics
No letterman, I been a veteran
N***a do anything for a name
When you start getting them ‘lil chains, watch how your partners and everything change
And when you step foot in that field, make sure you’re strapped and make sure you got aim
Akbar V. has more to get off her chest after a Twitter war with Cardi B and Offset earlier this week. On Monday, the Atlanta rapper and the Bronx star traded insults on social media, slamming each other over everything from record sales to parenting skills. The viral battle of words got even more intense when Cardi’s husband, Offset, chimed in to defend himself as well as his wife.
Wrapping up the Twitter exchange, the “WAP” rapper took to Instagram that same night to share a risqué photo of her and Offset cuddled up in their mansion, with the caption, “I fight for my b***hes and I’m fighter over d*** too.” While many thought the caption was a dig at Akbar, the 33-year old Atlanta native, who was featured on Nicki Minaj’s ‘Super Freaky Girl,” Remix, couldn’t clap back, as her Twitter account was suspended a day after beefing with Cardi.
But that didn’t stop Akbar from reigniting her beef with the mom of two. On Wednesday (September 29), she shared a snippet of an alleged diss track against Cardi, in which she rapped, “It’s crack, and I smoke b***** like Pookie.” Shortly after, she took to Instagram Live to address the alleged diss track, saying, “It’s up and it’s stuck. Ain’t nothing coming down.”
But the subliminal didn’t end there. Akbar added, “It be the ones that don’t know what’s going on that have so much to say. I can really end b**** with like two lines. New music getting ready to drop.” The untitled diss track comes just days after Cardi prophesied on Twitter, “Let’s guess the next step… a diss track that’s going to be mass bought on iTunes and going to chart on twitter.”
Be on the lookout for Akbar V.’s upcoming track, slated to drop on Friday. Share your thoughts below.
Offset has always been a star with killer dance moves. Fans may not have known the Atlanta native appeared as a backup dancer in a Whitney Houston music video as a kid. The Whitney Houston music video that was shot in the early 2000s for her single ‘Whatchulookinat’ featured a younger-looking version of the former […]

Rap fans logging into Twitter this week have been confronted with trending topics including Cardi B and Akbar V and might be confused to learn that the two rappers have been beefing for the past 24 hours. For one thing, who is Akbar V? Why does she have a problem with Cardi B? And what does Nicki Minaj have to do with all this? Here’s a quick primer to help you get up-to-date.
For the uninitiated, Akbar V is, like Cardi B, a rapper with an origin rooted in the Love & Hip-Hop universe. Hailing from Atlanta, this 33-year-old rapper has had a rough childhood but has been using the exposure from the show to slowly build an audience for her music to turn her life around. She currently has a little under 18,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a little over 50,000 subscribers on YouTube. While none of her songs has yet broken the million-streams mark on any platform, she recently received a big look when Nicki Minaj tapped her to appear on the “Super Freaky Girl” “Queen Mix” alongside JT of City Girls, BIA, Katie Got Bandz, and Maliibu Miitch.
Over the weekend, Cardi received a ton of attention for featuring on buzzing Memphis rapper GloRilla’s new song “Tomorrow 2.” While the song had plenty of fans, it’s also found its detractors — one of whom is Akbar V. The Atlanta rapper tweeted, “If @chartdata ain’t say it we ain’t believing the CAP,” referring to the song’s hype and the popular account that aggregates album song performance listings from DSPs and Billboard‘s charts. It seemed to some — including Cardi — that the tweet was meant to shade the supposed success of “Tomorrow 2,” since the track had been released in close proximity to “Super Freaky Girl.”
After catching wind of the tweet, Cardi made a few comments of her own. “Count all the times chart data posted u,” she wrote. “I don’t really like the internet games… My dms is open and also the streets!” Cardi apparently reached out to Akbar privately to inquire about the tweet, but Akbar clearly didn’t feel like settling the matter behind the scenes. In a string of tweets of her own, she complained that someone “gave this ho Cardi B my number” and shared a screenshot of their text exchange, accusing Cardi of threatening her.

Akbar then went on a long tirade, proclaiming her fealty to Nicki Minaj — with whom Cardi has had a long history of friction — denouncing Cardi’s success. “@NICKIMINAJ is the #QueenOfRap and @iamcardib u are the peasant ho ..” she wrote. When Cardi made a pointed comment about taking care of her kids — a shot at Akbar, who has five children of her own — things escalated into full-blown conflict. When Akbar replied, “U was in the strip clubs i was in the streets ..how is it any difference… you still talking but bringing my kids into it,” Cardi let her have it, contrasting their situations. “I won’t put my kids in the same hoods I was I raised in let alone ABANDONED THEM ..u had that choice to make as well not once but FIVE TIMES,” she wrote.
See the difference between me &u I had Nikkas wanting to put babies In me while I was in the jungle but I said to myself I won’t put my kids in the same hoods I was I raised in let alone ABANDONED THEM ..u had that choice to make as well not once but FIVE TIMES https://t.co/auEacrbpUo

The back-and-forth continued with a slew of responses from Akbar, to which Cardi replied by sharing a video from Akbar’s leaked sex tape. “Now my kids got to watch this again @iamcardib u dead wrong for uploading that porn stuff about me again u scoop so low but kool,” the Atlanta rapper replied. “U just threw me back into anxiety.” Cardi deleted the tweet, but later retweeted a notice from a fan that Akbar had used a screenshot from the video as a single cover on DSPs. “WAIT A DAMN MINUTE…she lied to me?” Cardi wondered.
WAIT A DAMN MINUTE …she lie to me? https://t.co/elAnEppIkd
— Cardi B (@iamcardib) September 26, 2022
The two rappers continued to trade insults into the evening, with Akbar accusing Cardi of having her husband Offset call her to and daring Cardi to take it to the street. Cardi exasperatedly predicted the next steps: “Let’s guess the next step …a diss track that’s going to be mass bought on iTunes and going to chart on twitter… I should of never argue with this deadbeat , I should of just left it at this.”

They might still be going, but at some point, Akbar’s Twitter account was suspended for unknown reasons. Incidentally, it’s not the first time her account was suspended. Meanwhile, Cardi B has gone back to promoting “Tomorrow 2,” while Nicki Minaj, the apparent motivation behind the whole Twitter spat, went back to promoting her own new video for “Likkle Miss (Remix)” featuring Skeng after going off on YouTube for age-restricting it.

After dropping videos for singles “54321” and “Code” with Moneybagg Yo, Migos member Offset announced the release date for the as-yet-untitled solo album he’s been working on this year. On Wednesday afternoon (September 21), he tweeted a date, 11/11/22, then, perhaps feeling that was a little too cryptic, followed up a few minutes later with “Album!!!!!!!!” making sure his fans and followers knew what he was talking about.

Offset has been promoting his solo turn for some time, first teasing new music in May as Migos’ other two members, Quavo and Takeoff, released their first track as a duo. He continued to tease the solo project in August and earlier this month, performed both new singles on The Tonight Show. And while no member of Migos has made mention of any serious rift between the band of brothers (or rather, cousins and a nephew), toward the end of August, Offset took legal action against the trio’s record label, Quality Control Music, over allegedly claiming ownership of his solo releases, suggesting that his real issue might be with the group’s business partners.
For now, it’s up in the air whether Migos will reunite as the three-headed monster that stomped through the music scene with hit after hit. ‘Til we know more, we can still look forward to two new projects from the group’s members. Quavo and Takeoff’s album, Only Built For Infinity Links, is due October 7, and Offset’s album is due November 11.
