Rapper Offset reveals he's not related to Quavo or Takeoff despite often being referred to as their cousin
American rapper, Offset has revealed that he is not actually biologically related to either Quavo or the late Migos rapper Takeoff, who are both nephew and uncle despite often being referred to as their cousin.
The three were classmates during childhood and began hanging out more often in the sixth grade. While hanging out a lot, they became closer and developed the ‘triplet flow.’
Offset recently sat down for a new interview with Variety, and confirmed Quavo is Takeoff’s uncle but the long-believed notion about him being Quavo’s cousin isn’t true.
In the Variety interview, Offset gushes about his last collab with Takeoff and his new back tattoo honoring his late bandmate, but he gets emotional when asked about Takeoff’s shooting death and shuts down.
Takeoff’s death in November 2022 hit Offset hard, and he’s paid several tributes to the fallen MC, including a large tattoo of Take’s face on his back that he showed the reporter from Variety.
‘It’s my favorite picture of him,’ he said. ‘I like it because he had his glasses off.’
He previewed a song featuring Takeoff from his upcoming album, and showed he’s still having a tough time processing his death when asked how he’s coping.
‘It’s hard for me to talk about s**t right now,’ he said.
‘I’ve never talked about this stuff. Seriously. Talking about Take is hard, man,’ he continued.
‘Talking about all this s**t is hard. That’s why I don’t, to be honest. That s**t hurts. Like, it’s gonna put me in a mood, and I don’t want to get in that mood.
‘Some things I don’t never tell nobody. He’s not here. That s**t feels fake, bro. I get through my day thinking it’s fake. And I don’t say nothing to nobody about it.’
