Offset Says He and Quavo Healed Behind the Scenes as Quavo Opens His New Album “GMFU”: “We Been Talking for a Long Time”
The Migos comeback nobody was allowed to see being built is suddenly all over the music.
Offset’s fourth studio album, “GMFU,” arrived today on Motown — and it opens with family. Quavo rides the very first track, “R4W,” and shows up again two songs later on “Why Not?” alongside Loe Shimmy. Two records into the album, the message is unmistakable: whatever broke between the brothers, the music is back on.
This week Offset finally explained how it happened. Sitting with DJ Whoo Kid on SiriusXM’s Shade 45, he said the reunion the public discovered this fall actually started long before anybody saw them together at Quavo’s “QRÖMELIFE” release party in Los Angeles in September.
“Blessings, the rebuild is always the best build,” Offset said. “I was there to support my brother. It’s hard. It’s a time and a place for everything and so we just clicking.”
“We been talking for a long time. Y’all just ain’t know,” he continued. “It just wasn’t for the world to know. We had to heal behind the scenes, which we still ain’t heal, but we had to heal behind the scenes. It’s building with your family. Some stuff don’t go out the house.”
The music backs the timeline. Offset appeared on “Away” from Quavo’s “QRÖMELIFE” in October — their first collaboration in five years — before returning the favor twice on “GMFU.”
Quavo has told the same story from his side. In September, on Complex’s “Idea Generation,” he said losing Takeoff changed everything between them: “I feel like it eased it a little bit. I feel like it threw out all the things that I was upset about or that we had friction about.”
Takeoff, Quavo’s nephew and the third Migo, was killed in Houston on November 1, 2022, at 28. The brothers’ falling out ran alongside the grief for years; their joint tribute at the 2023 BET Awards was the first crack in the ice.
Billboard and HotNewHipHop report that the two plan one final Migos album in Takeoff’s honor, with a tour — but be clear about what’s confirmed and what isn’t: Offset announced no album in the Shade 45 conversation. For now, the confirmed part is two brothers back on records together, honest that the healing isn’t finished.
So the question for the culture: if that final Migos album really comes, does it close the book the right way — or is some music better left as the three of them made it?
