Offset and Quavo are reuniting for a final Migos‘ album, which will posthumously feature Takeoff.
The late rapper, real name Kirsnick Khari Ball, died aged 28 in 2022 when he was shot dead in an alleged dice game gone wrong in Houston, Texas. Now, Quavo has confirmed plans for a final Migos album to honour his bandmate, as well as a subsequent tour reuniting with Offset.
The album will serve as a follow-up to 2021’s ‘Culture III’, and will be the first record from the group without Takeoff, though his vocals will appear posthumously on the album. “We coming back. We’re going to do it one more time,” Quavo said in an interview with V-103’s DJ Greg Street earlier this month.
“Long live the Rocket … There’s more. We going to tour. We going to do it right.”
Then, earlier this week, he gave more information on the upcoming album in an interview on Hot 97 with Nessa. “At the same time, we missing the Rocket, so we want to make sure we honour him and make sure we have the right tools to make the music sound original as if he was here,” he explained.
“We owe the fans at least the music. What he was working on and what we still had. The legacy must still go on,” he added. “I don’t think he would want us to archive no music, being that I know somebody out here that’s listening to every word Take saying and moving off his lyrics.”
Takeoff posthumously featured on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s album ‘Vultures 2’, as well as the songs ‘Patty Cake’ and ‘Back Where It Begins’ from Quavo‘s 2023 album ‘Rocket Power’.
In 2023, Quavo and Offset performed together for first time since Takeoff’s death at the 2023 BET Awards, and later that year Quavo also shared a video for his track ‘Hold Me’, which saw him attend a memorial service for his late Migos bandmate.
In other news, back in April, Offset was shot in a valet area outside the Seminole Hard Rock hotel and casino on April 6. A few weeks later, he played his first set since being shot and arrived on stage in a wheelchair.
