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. âWe coming back. Weâre going to do it one more time,â Quavo said in an interview with V-103âs DJ Greg Street earlier this month.
âLong live the Rocket ⊠Thereâs more. We going to tour. We going to do it right.â
Then, earlier this week, he gave more information on the upcoming album in an interview on Hot 97 with Nessa. âAt 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,â he explained.
âWe owe the fans at least the music. What he was working on and what we still had. The legacy must still go on,â he added. âI donât think he would want us to archive no music, being that I know somebody out here thatâs listening to every word Take saying and moving off his lyrics.â
Takeoff posthumously featured on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ignâs album âVultures 2â, as well as the songs âPatty Cakeâ and âBack Where It Beginsâ from Quavoâs 2023 album âRocket Powerâ.
In 2023, Quavo and Offset performed together for first time since Takeoffâs death at the 2023 BET Awards, and later that year Quavo also shared a video for his track âHold Meâ, 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.
