Quavo Premieres New Song ‘Gilbert Arenas’ on ‘From the Block’: Watch
Quavo has been quietly active this year, releasing a slew of singles and features, most notably “Tough” with Lana Del Rey, which briefly sparked dating rumors. He was also involved in a rap battle with Chris Brown that was overshadowed by the madness that was Drake vs. Everybody.
He recently premiered a new song on the popular YouTube performance series From the Block entitled “Gilbert Arenas,” named after the former NBA star turned podcaster. “Yeah, top sh—t, b—ch, I mean it/Walk in the lobby, it’s too many opps/My gun out, Gilbert Arenas,” he sets things of with as he references the 2009 incident when Arenas and Washington Wizards teammate Javaris Crittenton brought unloaded guns into the locker room over a card game dispute (said incident also provided the Internet with this doozy of a picture.)
Arenas seems to be a fan of the song, as he quoted tweeted a clip of the performance with GIF from The Last Dance docuseries where Michael Jordan can be seen enjoying an unreleased Kenny Lattimore CD.
The Atlanta rapper name drops Kevin Durant, Gervonta Davis, Elon Musk, Kai Cenat, and Rod Wave, as well. He singled out the Cenat line while promoting the video in an Instagram post with a caption that reads: “Got 33 casr in the driveway/N—a, like Kai Cenat, but I ain’t streamin’!”
Quavo was recently in the news after his friend Rich Homie Quan suddenly passed. As he reminisced on his IG Stories about the fun times they had together, he mentioned that he and his estranged childhood friend Offset had a “good convo.”
