In a recent cover story for Variety, Offset, the Atlanta-based rapper, delved into the details of his life, shedding light on his connection with fellow Migos members, Quavo and TakeOff. Surprising many fans who have long believed in their familial ties, Offset revealed that he is not biologically related to Quavo or TakeOff, despite their enduring bond throughout Migos’ journey.
Although Offset’s ongoing legal battle with Quality Control prevented him from extensively discussing Migos, a brief mention regarding his lack of biological relation within the group has left fans astounded.
During his interview, Offset disclosed that he had been classmates with Quavo during their time in the sixth grade. As a result, he began hanging out with Quavo and TakeOff. While Quavo is indeed TakeOff’s uncle, their age difference is a mere three years, thus not establishing a direct familial connection. Consequently, it becomes clear that Offset, often referred to as Quavo’s cousin, does not share a biological relationship with either member.
The revelation sparked a wave of astonishment among fans. One Twitter user expressed disbelief, stating, “So, damn near a decade of folks writing about Migos all being family was…not true? At least the Offset/Quavo cousin aspect, mind you—and nobody corrected it?” This revelation challenges the foundation upon which fans have built their understanding of Migos’ chemistry and longevity.
Offset’s interview served as part of the promotional campaign for his upcoming solo project. He unveiled an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Cardi B, Future, the late TakeOff, Latto, Travis Scott, and Chloë Bailey, igniting excitement among fans eager to witness his artistic evolution.
During the interview, Offset provided an exclusive glimpse into his forthcoming album, treating the reporter to a preview of several tracks. In a moment of anticipation and joy, he asked, “Do you want to hear my last song with TakeOff?” The article described Offset’s enthusiasm as he listened to the final track he recorded with TakeOff before the tragic incident that claimed the latter’s life in Houston the previous year. Furthermore, Offset expressed his intention to use this album as an opportunity to establish himself as a solo artist, moving beyond the shadows of Migos.
“The objective is to fully embrace my solo career,” Offset confidently declared. “I aim to make an indelible mark and revolutionize the game as a solo artist. I’m bursting through the doors, ready for my next chapter. It’s my time.”
While an official release date remains unconfirmed, Offset announced that his album is scheduled for a summer launch under Universal’s Capitol Music Group. Fans can also anticipate an accompanying tour, promising a dynamic and unforgettable experience.
Through this revealing interview, Offset not only redefined his relationship with Quavo and TakeOff but also set the stage for his solo career to shine independently. This captivating narrative has reshaped the perception of Migos’ family dynamics and serves as a testament to Offset’s determination to carve his path to success.
