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 Hints That Migos Is No More On His New Takeoff Tribute Track ‘Greatness’
Fans of Migos are still mourning the death of member Takeoff, who was shot and killed in Houston last November. Earlier this month, Quavo performed his song “Without You” during the Grammys “In Memorium” segment, in honor of his bandmate and nephew. However, following the broadcast, it was reported that fellow Migo Offset and Quavo got into an altercation backstage. Offset’s wife, Cardi B, was allegedly heard attempting to mediate the fight.
Offset denied the reports, but if these rumors are true, it doesn’t seem like Quavo and Offset will be making up anytime soon to revive the group. On his latest single, “Greatness,” Quavo offered a hint about the future of the group.
“Came in, swept the game like a storm with the motherf*ckin’ flow, Take’ did that / So don’t ask ’bout the group, he gone, we gone…it can’t come back,” raps Quavo in “Greatness.”
While it seems unlikely that we will get another Migos album, or that Quavo and Offset will continue Migos as a duo, Quavo appears to be proud of the impact the trio made throughout their career.
“This how legends was born, greatness / I couldn’t do it without the greatest group in the world, hmm, greatness,” Quavo raps on the song’s outro.
In the accompanying music video, Quavo is seen looking through photos and videos of the group, and reaping the fruits of their labor by way of driving in luxury vehicles and flashy jewelry.

NBA Youngboy Explains Why He Regrets Not Filming Music Video With Takeoff Before His Death
When NBA Youngboy appeared on a track off Quavo and Takeoff’s (Unc & Phew) Only Built for Infinity Links album, fans were more than excited to see what visual the trio would come up with. Especially after his last collaboration with the Migos, “I Need It,” which was released in 2020. Unfortunately, the visual never happened.
The collaborative track, titled “To The Bone,” only received a visualizer rather than an official music video with an appearance from all three artists. Youngboy recently opened up to Rap Radar host Elliot Willson about why the video never came together, noting that a minor setback caused plans to change last minute.
“Quavo sent me the song,” he said. “They came out here to do the video, but I think something happened. And it had me in a f*cked up mood. So, I had canceled the video. I regret it, though. It’s okay, though.”
Takeoff, one-half of the group, Unc & Phew, was shot and killed in November last year while attending a private event in Houston. The 28-year-old rapper was joined by Quavo and a few other associates at a bowling alley, but according to reports, it was a dice game that led to the confrontation. So far, one person has been arrested concerning the rapper’s death, Patrick Clark, who has since been released on a $1 million bail.
Quavo recently paid tribute to his former groupmate and nephew during his performance at the 2023 Grammys.
Check out NBA Youngboy’s complete interview above.
NBA YoungBoy Regrets Not Filming Music Video With Takeoff
Fans celebrated his appearance on Unc & Phew, but it was puzzling that NBA YoungBoy, Takeoff, and Quavo didn’t star in a visual of their collaboration. With a stacked lineup such as this, a music video almost always follows. However, “To the Bone” only received a visualizer, much to fans’ disappointment. The Louisiana rapper’s interview with Rap Radar has made the rounds, and during the conversation, YoungBoy admits there was a visual in the works.
According to the Rap star, a minor setback changed plans at the last minute. “Quavo sent me the song,” said YoungBoy. “They came out here to do the video, but I think something happened. And it had me in a f*cked up mood. So, I had canceled the video. I regret it, though. It’s okay, though.”

Takeoff was killed on November 1 last year at a private event in Houston. He was with Quavo and a handful of others at a bowling alley, and it’s reported that a dice game led to a confrontation. However, Takeoff wasn’t involved in the argument and instead was the victim of a stray bullet fired during the fray. He has been fondly remembered in Hip Hop and beyond, and police call his death a tragic accident.
Authorities arrested Patrick Clark in connection with the rapper’s death. Clark has since posted $1 million bail, reportedly paid for by a concerned citizen who believes in his innocence. Clark and his attorney have also insisted he wasn’t responsible for the crime, but the public is waiting to see what evidence is revealed during his trial.

Takeoff was an unproblematic figure in the industry, but his passing has sparked controversy. Rap-A-Lot icon J. Prince’s son was at the event when Takeoff was killed, and their family has endured harsh criticism from the public. Prince has declared his love and respect for Takeoff while also targeting Offset. The two engaged in a war of words on social media after J. Price insulted the Migos star. Things have settled as their peers attempt to keep the peace.
Akademiks Thinks Quavo Should Address J. Prince Targeting Offset
Nobody wins when the family feuds, or so they say, and DJ Akademiks thinks Offset and Quavo should unite. The Migos rappers are still mourning the loss of Takeoff, who was killed at the top of November 2022. He was at a private event in Houston with several others when a verbal argument turned deadly. Takeoff wasn’t involved in the fight but was said to be an innocent bystander who sadly lost his life.
J. Prince and his family have been enveloped in controversy after it was learned that J. Prince Jr. was at the fatal event. They were criticized for their proximity to the killing, but J. Prince has defended his family every step of the way. Things took a turn when he targeted Offset during his Million Dollaz Worth of Game interview. He fired off insults and claimed Offset’s family doesn’t have much contact with him.

Offset answered with a video of his own, but that only caused Prince to return. He alleged that Offset and Cardi B called him when they were having issues with purported gangs in Los Angeles. Prince also called Offset a “fake motherf*cka” and a “clown,” ushering in a beef that many don’t want to see unravel. Hip Hop commentators have chimed in with their hot takes, including DJ Akademiks, who believes Quavo should step forward in Offset’s defense. It’s rumored that the two relatives have been on the outs, including a near-spat that occurred backstage at the Grammys.
“You know the weirdest thing about it? I feel like more than Offset, J. Prince has disrespected Quavo,” said Akademiks. He then quickly corrected himself, saying it was less “disrespect” and more putting “Quavo on the spot.” He claimed that Prince insinuated that Quavo was responsible for Takeoff’s death. “They’re talking so much sh*t and we’re not hearing a motherf*ckin word from Quavo.“
