It looks like the Migos may have some “Straightenin’” to do — pun intended! Ever since the hip-hop music trio stepped onto the scene in 2008, fans have been in awe with their artistry. The group is known for creating trap music with a dose of mumble rap that has shifted the genre and influenced their ever-growing fanbase. Thanks to the Migos’ hit songs that include “Versace,” “Bad and Boujee,” “Stir Fry,” and more, the group has been a mainstay in hip-hop for more than a decade.
However, it appears that trouble may be looming within the group.
Hip-hop fans know that groups rarely stay together. While the Migos have all released solo projects, the group has always come together to make music. However, social media has been buzzing since May 2022 about the group possibly going their separate ways for good. The group then caused a stir by canceling their 2022 Governors Ball performance in June. And now, the crew is in the headlines yet again after an album announcement and a solo TV performance.
So, did the Migos break up? YES, Here’s everything that we know.
Why did Migos break up?
It’s not known for sure, but there is a lot of apparent tension in the group.
In May 2022, the future of Migos became the subject of speculation following questionable social media activity from members.
Quavo and Takeoff have gone off on their own, releasing singles, while Offset is doing the same – on his lonesome.
The group then caused a stir when they cancelled their 2022 Governors Ball performance the following month.
In August, 2022, TMZ reported that Offset filed a lawsuit against the group’s label Quality Control, claiming “he negotiated his solo deal and paid handsomely” for the rights to music.
He is said to have now been released from the project.
Then, on September 6, 2022, Offset performed his two solo songs on The Tonight Show.
His performance was followed by Quavo and Takeoff’s announcement of their solo album.
What happened between Offset and Migos?
On May 11, Quavo and Takeoff took to Instagram to tease an upcoming project, posting a video with the caption, “Meet Me In The Hotel Lobby 5.20”.
A week later the pair announced the title of their forthcoming project – again with no mention of Offset being involved.
Quavo and Takeoff then released their single on August 26, 2022 – the same day Offset released his own.
In the wake of the promotion for Quavo and Takeoff’s record in May, 2022, tensions seemed to build on social media.
Fans noticed Offset and his wife Cardi B unfollowed Quavo and Takeoff on Instagram.
What have Migos said?
Following the cancellation of the 2022 Governors Ball performance in June sources told TMZ that Migos had not split, but only skipped the show due to a scheduling conflict.
At the time, a label representative said Migos had to pull out because Quavo was filming for a movie – but that didn’t line up with schedules.
But, other than that, the group doesn’t appear to have said a word about what’s happening.
Their Instagram’s most recent posts are advertising Quavo and Takeoff’s new work – but there’s no mention of anything more.
Considering that social media is known to be the land of all things messy, it’s no surprise that the breakup rumors have been running rampant. Given the new developments, it’s safe to say that things are pretty shaky between the Migos. Hopefully, everyone can come to an understanding and get back to making music together as one unit.
