Offset Denies Fighting Quavo Backstage At The Grammys

by

As rumors begin to float around that tension still exists between Offset and Quavo, the “CODE” rapper cleared the air. New reports alleged that the two got into an altercation backstage at the Grammys, just before Quavo hit the stage to pay tribute to Takeoff. Offset took to Twitter where he flat-out denied fighting with his “brother.” “What tf look like fighting my brother [y’all] n***as is crazy,” he tweeted.

The initial reports from TMZ alleged that Quavo prevented Offset from joining him on stage during the In Memoriam segment at the Grammys. Apparently, the Recording Academy asked Offset to join Quavo during his performance of “Without You.” However, the reports alleged that Quavo blocked him from appearing on stage. From there, the two were alleged to have gotten into a physical altercation that resulted in the two of them being pulled apart from one another.

It’s been a morning filled with headaches for Offset. Not only was he subject to rumors of fighting Quavo, but he also had some words for J. Prince. During a recent interview on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, Prince called out Offset for allegedly saying things behind the scenes. Additionally, he claimed Offset wasn’t around Takeoff while he was alive.

“You wasn’t really right there with Takeoff when he was alive,” J. Prince said. “So, for you to be taking these positions you are taking – and I got people everywhere so I hear all kinds of things. I’mma just say this to you – don’t ever put me in a position where I got to defend myself.”

‘Set quickly responded on Instagram where he called out J. Prince for doing a number of interviews in the wake of Take’s passing. He also stated that Prince doesn’t have a place to comment on his relationship with Take, either. “You speaking on my real brother. How dare one of y’all n***as speak on me and Take relationship, n***a?” he said. 

“You ain’t think about his momma? You ain’t think about the family, n***a? We ain’t said nothing,” Offset continued. “Nobody said nothing but you n***as. Who y’all n***as think y’all n***as is? John Gotti, n***a? Ain’t nobody going for none of that. I ain’t standin’ for none of that sh*t y’all n***as talkin’ about either.” 

Quavo And Offset Reportedly Got Into A Fight Backstage At The Grammys Over The Tribute For Takeoff

No one knows the reason behind the dispute that split Migos, but it doesn’t appear that Takeoff’s death has made Quavo and Offset ready to settle it yet. According to TMZ, it actually escalated last night at the Grammys, where the two men were involved in an altercation backstage and had to be separated when Quavo refused to allow Offset to participate in his tribute to their fallen bandmate.

Meanwhile, according to TMZ’s sources, it was not Offset who started the fight, which makes sense considering the comments Quavo and Takeoff made over the past year regarding his falling out with the group. While Quavo and Takeoff spoke about “disloyalty,” it seemed that Offset had angered them in some way, leading to their making a joint album without him. Fans have speculated that it was Offset suing their label, Quality Control Music, that set things off; others believe that there was a romantic tryst between Offset and Saweetie, who was previously dating Quavo.

Whatever the reason, many fans were disappointed that the two remaining Migos were unable to reconcile their differences for the tribute. However, it looks like the tribute provided another wedge between them, making a Migos reunion less likely than ever.

Quavo & Offset Got Into A Physical Altercation At Grammys Over Takeoff Tribute: Report

Quavo and Offset are reportedly still on bad terms. According to TMZ, the former Migos groupmates got into a physical altercation backstage at the Grammys. Apparently, it all happened right before Quavo hit the stage to perform “Without You” in honor of Takeoff during the “In Memoriam” part of the show. The two allegedly got into a physical fight that required them to be pulled apart.

According to reports, the Grammys invited Offset to join Quavo on stage during the tribute to Takeoff. However, Quavo refused to allow him on stage and be a part of the moment. The “MESSY” rapper then prevented Offset from emerging on the stage during the segment and shortly after, they allegedly squared off. Neither Quavo nor Offset have publicly confirmed whether this altercation occurred. However, TMZ’s “Offset sources” allege Quavo began the fight.

Fans expressed disappointment that Offset didn’t join Quavo on stage. However, it isn’t necessarily surprising. Quavo wrote “Without You” specifically for Takeoff, while neither Qua’ or ‘Set have necessarily put aside their differences publicly. However, Offset stated during his speech at Takeoff’s funeral that he wanted to focus on brotherhood and family.

At the time of Takeoff’s death, Offset was already on the outs with his group mates. He pursued his solo career while Quavo and Takeoff delivered their joint project, Only Built For Infinity Links. There have been a number of rumors surrounding why they haven’t been on good terms, including allegations that Offset and Saweetie were involved in some sort of entanglement.

Besides his altercation with Quavo, Offset also got into an online spat with J. Prince. The Rap-A-Lot CEO claimed Offset wasn’t around for Takeoff when he was alive, prompting a scathing response from the “Ric Flair Drip” artist.

“I don’t know what the f*ck y’all got going on. You speaking on my real brother. How dare one of y’all n***as speak on me and Take relationship, n***a? I don’t know you n***as from a can of paint,” he said. “Nobody said nothing but you n***as. Who y’all n***as think y’all n***as is? John Gotti, n***a? Ain’t nobody going for none of that. I ain’t standin’ for none of that sh*t y’all n***as talkin’ about either.”

Quavo Honors Takeoff During “Without You” Performance At The Grammys: Watch

by

Takeoff’s presence was felt at the Grammys this year. The Recording Academy invited Quavo to deliver an emotional performance of his record “Without You” during the In Memoriam segment. The song dropped as a tribute to the late Takeoff, who died in early November. 

The Maverick City Music choir backed Quavo during his stunning performance at the award show while images of Takeoff and Quavo appeared on the screen. Additionally, Take’s chain, which Quavo wore to the award show, dangled from the mic stand before Qua’ held it in the air. Immediately, fans praised Quavo for his performance at the Grammys. Some said that they got emotional while watching it. 

It marks Quavo’s first performance since Takeoff’s death in November. However, he popped out on a few occasions recently, such as Diddy’s NYE party. Shortly after, he stormed the field at the Georgia Bulldogs championship game to celebrate their triumphant win.

After the funeral of Takeoff, Quavo penned a heartfelt message on Instagram. As he and Take recently embarked on a new chapter in their careers as a duo, Quavo explained how they were always by each other’s side since they were kids. He echoed a similar sentiment at Take’s funeral in Atlanta.

“This whole time I’ve been trying to figure out what you really are to me because nephew wasn’t it. We hated the word ‘nephew’ or when they said ‘Unc and Phew’ because we always knew we were way closer than that and it made me feel old too,” Quavo wrote on IG. “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.”

Sheryl Crow, Mick Fleetwood, and Bonnie Raitt also took the stage and honored those that passed away. Musgraves celebrated Loretta Lynn with a cover of “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Elsewhere during the segment, Crow, Fleetwood, and Raitt performed “Songbird” as a tribute to Christine McVie.

Along with Takeoff, the In Memoriam segment paid tribute to several artists that tragically died in 2022. Coolio, Tame One, DJ Kay Slay, and Stephen “tWitch” Boss were among those included. However, the Grammys appeared to face backlash for leaving out a few names, specifically, members of the hip-hop community. The Grammy did not appear to include PnB Rock, Lil Keed, and Gangsta Boo in the segment.

Quavo’s ‘In Memoriam’ Tribute Sends Off Takeoff In Style At The 2023 Grammys

In addition to celebrating the albums, artists, records, and songs of the year, the Grammys also offer a chance to look back on the past year and acknowledge those members of the recording industry community who are no longer with us. This year’s In Memoriam segment had a broad range of talent to salute, but the inclusion of Migos member Takeoff is especially tragic. He was only 28 years old when he was fatally shot last year and was just entering a new phase of his career in which he was beginning to receive more recognition for his talent.

A large part of that recognition was the reconfiguration of Migos into a duo-and-one, as Quavo and Takeoff split from Offset to release their own separate joint project, Only Built For Infinity Links. Unfortunately, instead of celebrating the album’s success, Quavo paid tribute to his fallen bandmate (and nephew), performing his new single “Without You,” which was written and released in honor of Takeoff early this year. Backed by the contemporary worship group Maverick City Music, Quavo performed his solemn ode to Takeoff, sending him off in style. Quavo channeled the Phantom of the Opera, with a black half mask that represented the masked pain he’s undoubtedly carrying.

In addition, the Maverick City Music choir will assist the 31-year-old with his performance. After his memorial service, Quavo penned a tender and reflective message for his loved one. “This whole time I’ve been trying to figure what you really are to me because nephew wasn’t it,” he wrote on Instagram. “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 so, so I couldn’t say brother. 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.”

Takeoff’s immediate circle continue to honor and speak of his loss and legacy. Cardi B recalled when she learned of his passing. “We was in bed… going to go to La La’s party in New York, and my daughter threw up all over my costume… We just fell asleep, and out of nowhere, Offset’s phone kept ringing, mine kept ringing.” Furthermore, she detailed how they felt disbelief, but also angry at the tragedy.

Meanwhile, other rappers and figures like 21 Savage spoke on the late Migo’s presence and the void he left behind. Even though things seem more dire than ever for the city of Atlanta, these artists’ impact and voice continue to uplift the city. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Quavo, Takeoff, and keeping his spirit alive.
