Drama seems to always follow the Migos, but rumors have been swirling about internal tension between the trio ever since fans realized Offset and Cardi B unfollowed Quavo and Takeoff on Instagram. The concerns grew even further as the unfollowing aligned with Qua and Take promoting their new single “Hotel Lobby,” which was released last Friday (May 20) under the name Unc and Phew. Now, Offset is evidently here with some new music of his own, providing a small snippet on his Instagram story this week.

The three members of Migos are no strangers to doing things on their own, regularly appearing on other artists’ music by themselves and even dropping three solo albums from each member within six months of one another in 2018-2019 before taking a long break. The added layer of the social media aspect makes this a cause for concern, but none of the members have officially addressed the supposed tension. It’s known what they can do together, with multiple No. 1’s and Grammy nominations under their belt and DJ Akademiks spoke in a TMZ interview about how he believes fans should not be worried.

“They might be going through a small disagreement or whatever,” the media personality says. “I think that they’re angling it because, you know, Takeoff and Quavo just put out a song, so they’re kind of letting it lie, letting the questions linger or something like that.” In this “everything is a rollout” climate of today’s music, it’s fair to question everything. The actual blood ties between the three make this an even more intriguing situation.

Check out the snippet of Offset’s new music above.

Quavo and Takeoff Release New Single “Hotel Lobby”

The tag team of Quavo and Takeoff is officially here. The duo has joined for the new wild single and video “Hotel Lobby.”

As Quavo and Takeoff swap one intoxicating bar after another, the airy cinematic production and sinister pace establish the tone. The song video, which was co-directed by Keemotion and Quavo, is a bizarre homage to Terry Gilliam’s cult masterpiece Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which starred Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. Quavo and Takeoff play Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo, respectively, as they cruise around the desert with a “mobile pharmacy” before pulling up to a Las Vegas hotel and barely passing through the doors to check in. As they present the South’s first real hip-hop dedication to the late Hunter S. Thompson, they provide all kinds of psychedelic, tripped-out trap lunacy.

You can see the new video below.

Quavo And Takeoff Drop ‘Hotel Lobby’ Under The Moniker Unc And Phew

Two-thirds of the Migos are dropping heat ahead of the summer. Quavo and Takeoff have premiered their new single, “Hotel Lobby” under their new collective stage name, Unc And Phew.

The name Unc And Phew refers to their duo’s actual family dynamic, as Quavo is Takeoff’s uncle. Like many Migos tracks, “Hotel Lobby” is a braggadocious ode to wealth and debauchery. On the Murda Beatz-produced track, Takeoff opens with a verse, rapping about his love of private jets and mink coats. Quavo then takes over on the chorus, promising, “all these commas, I won’t fumble.”

In the song’s music video, directed by Quavo and Keemotion, the two pay homage to Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, and take a road trip through the desert while tripping on shrooms. When they arrive to the aforementioned hotel lobby, the shaky, blurry lenses create the effect of a trip of a lifetime.

In regards to the elephant in the room, Offset’s absence, none of the Migos have confirmed the group’s disbandment, however, rumors began to swirl about a Migos breakup after fans noticed Offset and Cardi B unfollowed Quavo and Takeoff on Instagram.

Earlier today, TMZ caught up with Quavo at LAX Airport, however, Quavo offered no comment regarding the breakup rumors.

Check out “Hotel Lobby” above.

They also have a discography filled with fan favorites like “Fight Night,” “Handsome And Wealthy,” “Hannah Montana,” and more. Nearly a year removed from their most recent album Culture III, it seems like Migos’ end could be near as many fans noticed Offset seemingly made a surprise move on Instagram.

To make matters worse for Migos supporters, it was also revealed that Cardi B also unfollowed Quavo and Takeoff on Instagram which adds fuel to the breakup rumors.

The rumored rift in the Migos camp comes after Quavo and Takeoff announced that they are dropping a new single as a duo called Unc And Phew, which references their familial connection. According to XXL, the upcoming track is called “Hotel Lobby” and it remains to be seen if the record plays a role in Migos’ possible split.
