Offset Sends Birthday Wishes to Migos Bandmate Quavo Amidst Rumors of Feud: ‘Love You’

Offset is putting an end to speculations of any rift with his fellow Migos member, Quavo.

Taking to social media on Tuesday, he extended birthday greetings to Quavo, showcasing that their bond remаins strong.

“Happy gday my brother @quavohuncho love you 4L [for life],” Offset, 32, shared on his Instagram Stories, as reported by HipHopDX. He accompanied the message with a throwback photo featuring the trio — also including the late Takeoff — who formed the group in 2008.

In October, during an episode of The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 FM, the “Power Moves” artist delved into his relationship with Quavo, 33.

“That’s my brother at the end of the day,” expressed the rap star about Quavo. “We’re good, though, bro. We were just with each other in Paris. We be talking because we be going through emotions and s— with this s—.”

Offset further mentioned that they stayed connected even after the tragic passing of their collaborator and Quavo’s nephew Takeoff, who died at age 28 due to gu𝚗 viоlence in November 2022.

“It don’t be for the public. That’s the thing. Like when it’s like this, it don’t be everything for the public to be kiki-ing. And everybody want us to be — but we still got to move in our own worlds, but it’s all love,” he affirmed.

Continuing, Offset shared, “At the end of the day, we lost a brother; we can’t rock out.”

In June, the duo reunited on stage at the BET Awards for the first time following Takeoff’s passing — a decision that Offset initially hesitated about.

It was Pharrell Williams who convinced him to proceed. “I had talked to Pharrell, we were sitting at a [Paris Fashion Week] show, and I was telling him like, ‘Man, I don’t know if we should do it because this just ain’t gonna be right, and I feel like I’m scаred it’s gonna put me back in that moment.’”

 

“[Williams] was like, ‘No, you gotta do that for the world and him,’” recounted Offset. “’Y’all the biggest group ever in hip-hop. And also, he would want that, bro.’ He was like, ‘You need that energy of you and your brother rocking that stage again, even if it’s for the last time or whatever.”

Following their BET Awards performance, Offset felt a sense of closure. “If you go into something with the wrong energy, you ain’t gonna do it right. We went into it with the right energy, and that’s my brother,” he emphasized.

In February 2023, rumors circulated about a physical altercation between Offset and Quavo backstage at the Grammy Awards. However, Offset dismissed these claims on social media afterward.

The alleged tension between them dates back to 2022 when Quavo and Takeoff collaborated as a duo, releasing music under the moniker Unc & Phew and dropping an album titled “Only Built for Infinity Links.”

Cardi B recently opened up about her feelings following her split from rapper Offset, describing the adjustment as “a little bit difficult.”

The couple, who share children Kulture and Wave, parted ways in December 2023 after six years of marriage.

“I’ve been adapting to my new personal life and it’s just been a little bit difficult. Especially because I have a lot of work to do and everything, but so far so good. I’m not in a bad space but I’m in a very different space,” Cardi B shared.

 

She reflected on a period in her life from ages 19 to 22 when she felt isolated and focused solely on her work. Now, she finds herself in a similar mindset of distancing herself from others as she looks forward to creating new music.

“And this time around in life I feel like I’m in that space again. I’ve completely distanced myself from people. I just can’t wait to put out my music and do different stuff,” she expressed.

Cardi B initially addressed her separation in December, admitting that she was initially apprehensive about sharing the news with her fans.

The ‘Praise The Lord’ rapper, 32, spoke candidly in a cover interview with GQ about how his life has changed over the last few years – particularly when it comes to his love life.

 

“The love of my life,” Rocky said as he swooned over Rihanna, 33, before referring to her as, “My lady.” He said being in a relationship is “so much better” than the alternative.

“So much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones,” said Rocky, who has built up quite the reputation as a ladies man over the course of his career.

“I think when you know, you know. She’s the One,” he said of the Fenty Beauty founder.

At the end of last year, Rocky – whose real name is Rakim Mayers – was spotted on vacation with Rihanna in her native Barbados. Rocky’s father had emigrated from Barbados to the U.S, and Rocky said the trip was like a “homecoming”.

“It was crazy. I always imagined what it would be like for my dad, before he came to America. And I got to visit those places, and believe it or not, there was something nostalgic about it. It was foreign but familiar.”

It’s unclear when exactly Rihanna and Rocky began dating, but they’ve been romantically linked since 2013 when he opened for her Diamonds World Tour.

Reports resurfaced in late 2020 after pair were spotted enjoying dinner with friends in New York, months after Rihanna had split with her billionaire ex-boyfriend Hassan Jameel.

That December, it was reported that the pair are “very into each other” and have been “inseparable for weeks”.
