Offset spent his childhood with fellow former Migos members
Even though the Migos no longer exits as a group, the trio has left a legacy in hip hop that will never fed away. Offset, one of the former members, appeared on Variety’s latest cover where he opened up about a number of topics, including his relationship with Quavo and Takeoff.
While it is widely know that the late Takeoff was a nephew to Quavo, Offset told the publication that he is not biologically related to the two. He explained that he and Quavo were classmates since sixth grade, resulting to the bond and ultimately Migos.
Quay won’t be doing interviews until his album drops
Quavo is still mourning the loss of his nephew and Migos brother Takeoff, and seems he’s coping with the grief by working on his next album, Rocket Power, which is dedicated to Take. On Monday (April 10), the Huncho hopped on Twitter revealing that he’ll open up on his feelings on the forthcoming project rather than doing interviews.
“#RocketPower🚀 All My Emotions In This Album No Interviews,” he wrote.

Quavo currently has a new single out titled “Honey Bun.” Released on March 31, the record sees Quay laying down his vocals over a beat produced by Al Geno and Ayo Ray.
Quavo isn’t slowing down bombarding his fans with new material. On Monday (March 27), the former Migos member announced on Instagram that he has a new record on the way titled “Honey Bun,” dropping this Friday (March 31).
“Honey•Bun Friday! #ForTake,” the rapper wrote under a photo from a video shoot.
Since losing his nephew and Migos comrade Takeoff last October, Quavo has turned to dropping new music to cop with the loss. He released his latest single “Greatness” in January that saw him paying tribute to the late Take and the disbanded Migos.
Quavo is back with another brand new single, “Greatness,” that sees him paying tribute to his late nephew, Takeoff, as well as the Migos family as a whole. The track comes with visuals directed by Chris Dvon, that features old Takeoff’s cameos.
It’s been over a month since we lost Migos rapper Takeoff in a fatal shooting in Houston, and the authorities are still digging out more details about the tragic situation. New York Times journalist Joe Coscarelli recently shared an affidavit that shows shots were fired from both sides before Take was fatally hit.
The document shows that Quavo was playing dice before getting into an argument with two opponents after losing money. After things got physical, a person named Willie Bland is said to have unleashed a punch in Quavo’s defense before shots rang out.
new details in the killing of Takeoff from a search warrant affidavit filed this week:

While Bland reportedly drew and fired his gun while somebody else shot back, his position and time don’t tie him to Take’s death. The suspect in the murder, Xavier Clark aka DJ Phat, who was recently arrested, was seen running away from the scene holding a bottle of wine while firing his gun. Detectives later found the bottle of wine and tested it for fingerprints, which matched those of Clark.
Takeoff had his final journey on Friday (November 11) with a funeral service in Atlanta, and now, Quavo opens up more about losing his nephew. On Saturday, Quay dedicated a letter to Take on Instagram that contains words from his speech at the funeral service. He also unveiled a series of throwback photos highlighting their life together from childhood to adulthood.
“Super quiet though, quietest in the room but paid attention to everything going on in the room, always been like that!!! Nothing ever really bothered Take and he didn’t bother anybody. He the most unbothered person in the world. He never got mad, he never raised his voice,” the rapper wrote.
Quavo went on to reinforce Offset’s remarks that Takeoff came up with the triplet flow that earned the group a top spot in the hip-hop world. “Then he created this triplet flow and the rest was HISTORY,” he added. “He never worried about titles, credit, or what man got the most shine, that wasn’t him. He didn’t care about none of that as along we brought it back home to the family!
“Whatever we have to do God to be at that place of paradise send us the tools now cuz we wanna be with Take. Love you nephew!”
Offset is mourning the death of his Migos partner, Takeoff, who was killed in a shooting in Houston Tuesday (November 1). On Wednesday morning, Set changed his Instagram profile pic to Take’s photo of him rocking a bright smile.
The “54321” artist hasn’t posted anything about Take’s death, so has Quavo. Per TMZ, Offset was scheduled to perform at MGM Music in Boston tomorrow (November 3), but will not show up. The event will still happen without Set however.
New footage emerged on Wednesday showing a person of interest firing his gun. The video doesn’t prove the unidentified man fired the initial shots in the shootout that left Takeoff lying lifeless on the floor.
Quavo is confident about the future of Unc. & Nephew duo
The hip-hop community is still processing Atlanta trio Migos’ split, which saw Offset going his separate way leaving Quavo and Takeoff as a duo. Apparently, possibilities are very low that the group will ever reunite.
Quavo and Takeoff pulled up on Revolt’s Drink Champs last week where they talked about their future as a group. During the interview, N.O.R.E asked if “there will be a Migos reunion eventually,” to which Quavo replied, “well, no. I don’t think so.”
“Right now I believe in the duo, you know what I’m saying?” He added. “Like you just said, you play the game by loyalty. You just stand on loyalty. Like we said, like I said in songs and everything, we stand on motherf**king loyalty. This is about us and shit. When things ain’t right sometimes you gotta goddamn move on, you know what I’m saying? When ego sometimes, when everything getting in the way. Sometimes you gotta sit back and watch what’s going on, just see what’s wrong.”

Quavo also weighed in on Offset filling a lawsuit against Quality Control, saying he wouldn’t do the same since the label founders Pee and Couch changed his life, and Takeoff immediately backed him.
“At the end of the day, n*ggas got problems that they need to fix. You still ain’t gotta do no lawsuits you know. Pee and Couch they changed my life,” Quay said before Takeoff reinstated, “fasho fasho, I love em to death.”
