Quavo and Chris Brown are embroiled in a beef that appears to be over their past dalliances with former lovers in common. Quavo, who took a shot from Chris Brown over the “Weakest Link” track fired back with a diss of his own, “Over Hoes & B*tches.”
The Migos rapper used an infamous image of Brown putting his hands around a woman’s neck, an incident that the singer claimed was friendly and not at all violent. Quavo superimposed his face over Brown’s face while placing the singer’s face on the woman who was choked.
“Over Hoes & B*tches” adds to the growing war of words that was ignited notably on Brown’s track “Freak” from his 11:11 (Deluxe) album. Huncho fired back with “Tender” which then sparked Breezy to respond with “Weakest Link” and now we arrive at “Over Hoes & B*tches.”
A common theme across the songs is references to Brown’s ex, Karrueche Tran, who was linked with his current rival although Tran denied that the pair dated after breaking up with Brown in 2015. The two also mentioned each other’s domestic violence allegations, including an incident involving Saweetie, whom Brown claims he slept with while she dated the “Workin Me” rapper.
From “Over Hoes & B*tches”:
Lil’ boy wanna die ’bout some coochie? (Baow) You still f*cked up ’bout Karrueche? (Damn)
You tried to beat up Teyana (No cap), but Usher wouldn’t let you do it (Usher)
The cocaine got him, your honor (White), bipolar disorder, no wonder
You was the greatest, n*gga, you fumbled, goin’ out sad, I’m watchin’ you crumble (Uh)
Why they got Quavo out here goin’ back and forth with a singer that turned to a junkie?
Now we got light skin versus brown skin, n*gga finna divide the country (Go)
N*gga, you ain’t been in the trenches (Trenches)
We stompin’ the yard, you know how that ended (Stomp)
Brown responded to the diss, referring to the lyrics as “Google Raps” before dismissing the attempt. No word yet if Brown will deliver a proper response.

Chris Brown and Quavo have a history of not being the best of friends and it appears that the pair are still on the path to war after this weekend. Chris Brown dropped a new track titled “Weakest Link” aimed at Quavo, with the late Takeoff having his name added to this feud.
From what we gathered, “Weakest Link” is a response to the track “Tender” and adds to the growing rift between the pair that has been ongoing for years according to reports.
On “Tender” Quavo rapped:
Wipin’ your nose with the tissue, not wipin’ no snot (Snot, whoo)Tell me, lil’ bro, what’s your issue? It’s over a thot (Thot)You said that it’s bigger than that (It’s big), but no, it is not (No, it is not)It’s ’cause I be diggin’ in that (Ya dig?), it got ’em hot (They got ’em hot)I’m givin’ respect (Sh*t), but I know you not (I know you not)Your b*tch on my neck (Your b*tch), your b*tch at the spot (Spot)
The streets are saying that the Migos artist is speaking about Brown’s ex, Karrueche Tran.
Brown, digging deep into his petty bag, fired back by suggesting he got familiar with Huncho’s ex, Saweetie:
Okay, let’s get down to the facts, p*ssy, I’m dripped in red (Okay)Don’t let this R&B sh*t fool you, n*ggas get ripped to shreds (Get back)Quavo talkin’ like he a thug, n*gga, you a bitch with dreads (You a b*tch)Can’t wait to see the day that you back up all of that sh*t you said (You on)What’s all that boss sh*t you talkin’? You ain’t no huncho, n*gga (You ain’t no huncho)You the weakest link out of your clique, let’s keep it a hundo, n*gga (One hundred)You f*cked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no f*ck, lil’ n*gga (Still a b*tch)‘Cause I f*cked your ex when you were still with her, b*tch, I’m up, lil’ n*gga (I’m up)
We’ve got no opinion on who is winning this particular beef but fans observing are naturally calling out Brown’s violent past with women, while also adding that Quavo has similar stories of the same acts on his jacket.

Quavo made his mark as a rapper as part of the Migos collective and also as an in-demand soloist. The Atlanta rapper was on hand to assist in the debut of 1989 STUDIO’s FW24 collection with designs from the talented Chaz Jordan.
1989 STUDIO, founded by Chaz Jordan, is a luxury lifestyle founded in 2021 in Los Angeles informed by the Chicago native’s design education in Paris, France.
Earlier this week, Quavo joined the festivities during Milan Fashion Week for the unveiling of a new brand showroom that highlights Jordan’s FW24 designs.
From the images of the event, fans of luxury fashion and journalists were on hand to capture the event in full with Quavo hitting the stage and making the rounds in a full 1989 STUDIO fit.
1989 STUDIO’s latest drop takes the already stellar work from Jordan and his team while introducing new silhouettes and design styles, including denim adorned with a three-dimensional pattern.
The new showroom will also serve as an office space and design studio for Jordan along with its aforementioned showroom designation. As of now, those who wish to see new 1989 STUDIO pieces can do so via appointment.
“To coincide with the opening of our new space, the goal this FW24 season was to emphasize quality and precision through simplicity. This shared ethos can be seen in the architecture and material choices throughout our design studio as well as in the collection. The new space serves as the perfect backdrop and supporting character for a collection that expresses its sophistication and silent opulence in the smallest of details,” said brand founder and designer, Chaz Jordan.
Quavo surprised attendees with a special performance and plenty of photo ops. Check out the images below.

Gun violence in America is nothing new and while Republicans continue to act as if nothing can be done to stop or even curb the growing problem (like sensible gun laws they refuse to take up), Quavo has now joined the growing list of celebrities calling on congress for action on gun reform.
According to TMZ, the “Nothing Changed” rapper went to Capitol Hill this past Wednesday (September 20) on behalf of his Rocket Foundation (named after his late nephew and partner-in-rhyme, Takeoff. RIP), and along with his mother, Takeoff’s mother and his older sister, Quavo spoke with numerous congressmen and woman to tackle the issue that has affected him and his family personally.
Huncho reportedly met with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senator Cory Booker and Vice President Kamala Harris, amongst many others. The Migos rapper’s Rocket Foundation was founded with the purpose of preventing gun violence.
We’ll forever love Hakeem Jeffries for quoting Biggie during Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. Just sayin.’While we know getting gun reform done is a Herculean task thanks to House and Senate Republicans who worship at the alter of the NRA (and the money they provide), we’re glad to see Quavo doing what he can to help further move the cause in the right direction. Whether or not he can actually get it to budge is another story on its own.
What do y’all think of Quavo taking on this issue? Let us know in the comments section below.

Quavo hasn’t released a solo album since his debut album, Quavo Huncho, back in 2018. On Friday (August 18), the Migos member released his sophomore effort Rocket Power, which honors the late Takeoff.
The opening track on Rocket Power, “Fueled Up,” sets the tone for much of the album as the track references the now-ended beef between Quavo and Offset, and Takeoff’s name is mentioned near the end. This continues at several points throughout Rocket Power, with production coming from Kenny Beats, Murda Beatz, Bnyx, Atake, DJ Durel, Buddah Bless, Baby Wave, and more.
Quavo handles much of the rapping duties on his own with features from Takeoff, Future, Young Thug, BabyDrill, and Hnxcho on the assist. On X, it appears that the production is propelling the interest of most fans online but they’re also praising Huncho for delivering an album that does capture some of the grief he’s surely still processing in connection to the passing of Takeoff.
Rocket Power was originally set to come out on August 4, calling the project therapeutic and sharing that he attempts to capture the emotional weight he’s carried since losing his younger nephew. If the reaction on X, formerly known as Twitter, is of any merit, it looks like Quavo achieved his goal and then some.

Family ties are hard to break. Offset says that reuniting with Quavo at the BET Awards cleared his soul.
As spotted on Deadline the remaining Migos members came together in honor of their fallen bandmate. The performance came to many as a shock as it had been previously reported that the two were not seeing eye to eye after Takeoff was killed in Houston, Texas on November 1, 2022. He recently did an Instagram Live where he discussed being on stage with Quavo since tragic incident. “I love all my fans. I love y’all. We did a BET performance, man. It was iconic, man,” he said. “It cleared my soul. Me and my brother, Quay, man, we put that together within, like, 16 hours, like, 15 hours… We do that ’cause we’re some real stars.”
He went on to further express his pride. “We do this music. We the greatest group to ever touch the mic. RIP my brother, Take. We did it for my brother, Take. Me and Quay stood tall, brother to brother. And I appreciate everybody for supporting. It was a movie, it was a vibe. We needed that for the culture.” Offset also took the time to give his saviour above all the credit. “Thank God for that moment,” he added. “And like I said, RIP to Take. Y’all know how we coming about my brother. And we did it for Take. That’s our legacy. Migos forever. The greatest group to ever do it.”

Megan Thee Stallion moves on from Pardi, and now YG is tap, tap, tapping Saweetie.
The internet is buzzing after photos of YG and Saweetie in a pool getting cozy in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, hit Twitter timelines confirming rumors of them messing around with each other.
The photos in question show a fresh-faced Saweetie rocking her vacation braids and pink bikini along with the Bompton rapper, who is hilariously wearing a fitted baseball hat in the pool.
The two Hip-Hop stars are hugging each other in photos, with YG giving her a smooch on the cheek in another flick.
Rumors of Saweetie and YG dating began to swirl after the two were seen “getting cozy” at a California restaurant while attending Coachella.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Saweetie was one of the many guests at YG’s all-red 33rd birthday soiree in West Hollywood back in March, along with other names like A$AP Ferg, Ty Dolla $ign, Offset, DJ Mustard, and Travis Scott.

The love connection could have happened in the studio after the two rappers came together on Mozzy’s 2022 track “In My Face,” featuring 2 Chainz.
Saweetie & YG’s High-Profile Love Life
Both Saweetie and YG are no strangers to high-profile romances. YG has dated Keke Palmer, singer Kehlani, whom he got caught cheating on, and two children with his ex-girlfriend Catelyn Sparks.
Saweetie famously dated Quavo between 2018 and 2021. Their romance died as allegations of Quavo creeping on the “Best Friend” crafter.
“I’m single,” she said in a 2021 tweet. “I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character. Presents don’t band-aid scars, and the love isn’t real when the intimacy is given to other women.”
“I emotionally checked out a long time ago and have walked away with a deep sense of peace and freedom. Excited for this new chapter of elevation,” she added.
Not long after, that infamous video of the elevator footage of the two artists involved in a physical altercation surfaced, but both Saweetie and Quavo said the incident happened and the past, and they were able to move past it.
Twitter Reacts To The News
Yup, Twitter is reacting to the surprising couple and is very meh at the idea of them dealing with each other. One Twitter user was unhappy to know “YG church shoe wearin’ ass” bagged Saweetie.
“YG & Saweetie is something I didn’t expect……but I’m not mad at it,” another Twitter user wrote.
Add YG and Saweetie to the list of new couples we will be rooting for. You can see more reactions to the news in the gallery below.

Offset and Quavo apparently can no longer relate; figuratively and literally. It has confirmed that the two were never related at all.
As spotted on HipHopDX the flamboyant talent recently conducted an in depth interview with entertainment magazine Variety. The “Deadz” rapper gave the publication some much needed updates regarding his future plans, being a family man and more. He went on to discuss his forthcoming sophomore solo album saying “I really wanted to drop the album like two years ago, but it wasn’t time. I had to master who I was, and I got it now.” He went on to detail his vision for this effort. “This is me going full-fledged into my solo career,” he explained. “The objective is to do it fully and smash sh*t and f*** the game up as a solo artist. I’m coming through, busting through the door. It’s all set, my next chapter. It’s my time.” He also confirmed the album features his last song ever recorded with Takeoff.
But when it comes to his career he was very tight lipped about his recording home as he did not want to speak out of turn as he is in litigation with Quality Control Music. A surprise that did come out of this exclusive Q&A is that he and bandmate Quavo are not related. “He was classmates with Quavo — the third member of Migos — and began hanging out with him and Takeoff when Offset was in the sixth grade,” the article reads. “While Quavo was Takeoff’s uncle, the two were just three years apart in age, and although Offset is often referred to as Quavo’s cousin, they are actually not biologically related.”
Offset did not confirm the release date for the new project but it is expected later this year via Capitol Music Group. You can read the interview here.

The backstage dispute between Quavo and Offset at the Grammy Awards was halted apparently due to Cardi B stepping in, reportedly.
The “WAP” rapper had just gone backstage after presenting the award for Best Rap Album to Kendrick Lamar at the ceremony on Sunday night (Feb. 5th), when video cameras from Entertainment Tonight caught her scolding both members of the Migos group, Quavo, and Offset. “Both of y’all wrong. Both of y’all! This is not right,” she yelled before continuing: “No, b—-es, shut the f–k up. ’Cause you shouldn’t have been talking.” Cardi B is married to Offset, and the two share two children – their daughter Kulture and their son, Wave.
It was unclear whom the latter comments were directed towards, but it was later revealed that the two were having a heated argument ahead of the “In Memoriam” tribute segment of the show where their late colleague Takeoff would be honored. According to TMZ, both Offset and Quavo were asked to take part but Quavo refused to let Offset join him onstage. The two allegedly got into a scuffle and had to be separated.
Quavo would appear onstage shortly after to perform “Without You”, a song he wrote specifically for Takeoff, who was also his nephew. Offset is also related to the two, as a cousin. The absence of Offset led many watching to be a bit disappointed at the bad blood that still exists between the remaining Migos members. Offset would later deny that there was any altercation,
posting to Twitter: “What tf look like fighting my brother yal n—-s is crazy.”
The murder of Takeoff outside of a bowling alley in downtown Houston, Texas last November has been extremely hard on both Quavo and Offset. Offset has been vocal about his grief, saying that he’s been in a “dark place” since the tragic incident. Quavo, who was present at the time of the shooting, has also been publicly and privately mourning the loss. The alleged shooter, Patrick Xavier Clark, is set to stand trial for the incident on March 9th.

Offset is calling cap. The Migos rapper is disputing a report from TMZ that he got into an altercation with Quavo at the Grammys.
Early Monday (Feb. 6), TMZ reported that Quavo and Offset had to be separated after getting into an argument backstage at the Grammys. According to the outlet, tempers flared because Quavo allegedly refused to have Offset join him on stage during the shows “In Memoriam” segment while he performed “Without You,” his tribute to their late group and family member Takeoff.
However, Offset took to Twitter to dispute the account. “What tf [sic] look like fighting my brother yal niggas is crazy,” tweeted Offset on Monday afternoon.
It’s no secret that Takeoff wasn’t on the best of terms with Quavo and Offset, who had recently dropped their joint project, at the time of the latter’s untimely demise. Relatedly, Offset had recently taken to social media to retort in kind to J. Prince after the Rap-a-Lot Records founder came for him during a recent podcast interview.
Considering Takeoff was murdered on Halloween night in 2022, let’s hope these brothers can actually have a conversation to squash any simmering beef before it boils over.
Rest in power Takeoff
