This highlighted their longstanding friendship and connection that led to Offset becoming a part of the group, but it didn’t explicitly state that he was related to them by blood.
In a 2014 interview with The Fader, Quavo provided additional details about how Offset joined Migos, stating, “Offset is fam. He’s been around us ever since sixth grade. We got him to rap in high school. We always stayed in the basement messing around with the beats. He did one song and his voice sounded good. He had a good voice.” Takeoff added, “He was snapping too. Back then, that’s what the trend was.”
Takeoff’s Mother and Quavo’s Sister Took Care of Them Both
Quavo also disclosed to Fader that he and Takeoff were raised together under the same roof, giving all the credit to his sister for raising them both. “We moved from Athens to Gwinett when Takeoff was in elementary and I was in middle school,” said Quavo. “His momma took care of everything, and us. We always stayed in the same house. We share everything. He’s basically like a brother.”
Offset Reveals He Isn’t Related to Quavo or Takeoff
Prior to Offset’s recent interview with Variety magazine, there were rumors that he wasn’t blood-related to the Migos, but now these claims can officially be put to rest as they were all childhood friends.
According to Variety, Offset and Quavo were classmates during their school days. They started hanging out together in the sixth grade. Even though Quavo happened to be Takeoff’s uncle, their age difference was just three years. Despite popular belief, Offset and Quavo are not blood relatives, even though many refer to them as cousins.
