Quavo and Offset reunited on Sunday night to honor their late Migos bandmate Takeoff with an emotional tribute performance at the 2023 BET Awards.
The rappers performed a medley of songs including Migos’ 2016 hit “Bad and Boujee” with Lil Uzi Vert. It was the first time Quavo and Offset had performed together since Takeoff’s death.
The late rapper, whose real name was Kirsnick Khari Ball, was shot dead outside a bowling alley in the early hours of November 1. He was 28 years old.
During Quavo and Offset’s performance, an image of Takeoff was shown on stage. At some point during the show, Offset was heard shouting, “Do it for Take!”
Takeoff, Offset and Quavo, who all grew up together, founded Migos over a decade ago. Both Quavo and Offset have paid tribute to Takeoff numerous times on social media since his death.
Quavo, Takeoff’s uncle, referred to the murdered rapper as an “angel” in a now-deleted letter he posted to Instagram in November.
The Migos rappers faced breakup rumors before Takeoff’s death and Rumors of another riff between Offset and Quavo had surfaced after Takeoff died.
Quavo gave a no-offset tribute to Takeoff at the Grammys in February.
Rapper Cardi B, who is married to Offset, celebrated the rappers’ reunion on Twitter on Sunday. Write“I can’t take it right now…proud of the boys.”
The 2023 BET Awards saw other performances paying tribute to late rappers, including Big Daddy Kane’s tribute to Biz Markie, who died in 2021.
