Offset Talks Healing, Growth, and the Future of Migos
Offset isn’t just talking about legacy, but continues to carry it.
During a raw, heartfelt moment with Keke Palmer for her podcast, “Baby This is Keke,” the Atlanta rapper opened up about brotherhood and what it means to keep Migos’ spirit alive after Takeoff’s passing. Reflecting on the group’s history, the “Princess Cut” rapper didn’t shy away from emotion, revealing how much his late cousin meant to both their personal bond and the music that defined a generation.
“It can never be the same without my boy ’cause he was the glue the whole time,” he said.
“He the glue. He the glue to everything. In a group you got egos. We grown men. We got millions of dollars and egos. But homie would humble that at all times. Hee just kept us as one.”
Even as his solo career continues to soar, the father of 6 made it clear that Migos will forever be stitched into his DNA. The chart-topping artist spoke with reverence about never losing sight of where it all began.
“I never forget my roots, right? I’m still representing that, ’cause that’s still my family at the end of the day,” he shared.
“I’m still Migos at the end of the day. When I go back to my neighborhood, it’s a crew of us, and we Migos. So it don’t never go away from me. I just got to hold the torch. I got to hold it down.”
Takeoff’s passing made the “Kiari” artist reflect on what brotherhood means to him as well as his bond with Quavo.
"When that happened, it's a time for brotherhood. Everything go out the window," he said as he reflected on Takeoff’s murder.
"And then with time and space, it's a guilt on both ends. I love Quay, but I think it's just better for us to be on our own different things now."
The Billboard Hot 100 star shared he’d be open to reconciling with Quavo, but not at this time.
"Maybe a couple years from now," said Offset.
"The plan was always for us to be doing our thing as solo acts. I feel like that's what separated us as a group anyway. That's why we were so big and why we lasted so long, is because each man could hold their own."
He continued, saying, "And then maybe with success on both sides, that could bring things back. But I don't know. It's hard."
