Quavo & Offset Have ‘Good Convo’ After Rich Homie Quan’s Death

Migos members and childhood friends Quavo and Offset had a falling out in 2022, leading to the Georgia trio’s disbandment. They’ve been slowly mending their relationship since, with Offset wishing Quavo a happy birthday earlier this year (“Happy gday my brother @quavohuncho love you 4L,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories back in April) and the duo reuniting last spring for a one-off performance at the 2023 BET Awards following the November 2022 fatal shooting of their bandmate TakeOff.

Now, the sudden death of another peer, Rich Homie Quan — who died Thursday at age 33 — inspired the two to have a much-needed conversation. On his IG Story, Quavo revealed that he and Offset had a “good convo with my bro,” alongside a prayer-hands emoji.

The reason as to exactly why the group fell out remains murky, but Quavo and the late Takeoff hinted at “loyalty” being at the center of the breakup while sitting down with Revolt’s Big Facts podcast to promote their album Only Built for Infinity Links.

“I just feel like we want to see our career as a duo, you know what I’m saying?” Quavo said. “Because you know, we just came from a loyal family, sh– that’s supposed to stick together. And sometimes, when sh– don’t work out, it ain’t meant to be.”

Takeoff added: “We don’t know all the answers, you feel me? God knows. We pray a lot, you know? Whatever ain’t right and however you supposed to see it fit, you put it back together or however you do it, we pray. So only time will tell. We always family now, that ain’t gon’ change.”

“We gon’ stand on loyalty, you know what I mean?” said Quavo. “We stand on real deal, real deal loyalty, and sometimes that sh—t ain’t displayed. This ain’t got nothing to do with no label, no paperwork, no QC, no nothing. This got something to do with the three brothers. And sh–, it is what it is. Right now, we gon’ be the duo ’til time tell.”

The late Rich Homie Quan, Young Thug and Migos were instrumental in ushering in a new era of Atlanta rap that has since dominated the genre. Quavo posted throwback pictures of their time climbing up the ranks on his IG Story after he learned of his friend’s death. “May God be with us. Never saw this being apart of our journey,” he wrote in reference to the unfortunate deaths of his nephew Takeoff and Rich Homie Quan.
