A bit of chaos can always be expected when it comes to the Grammy Awards, and on Sunday evening, Migos rappers Offset and Quavo got into a physical altercation backstage just before a scheduled tribute performance to slain Migos member Takeoff, TMZ reports.
According to the outlet, both Offset and Quavo had been invited by the Recording Academy to perform Quavo’s song “Without You” during the in memoriam portion of the ceremony. Quavo released the song two months after the death of Takeoff (real name Kirsnick Khari Ball), who was shot and killed at a private party in Houston on Nov. 1, 2022. Quavo, Takeoff’s uncle, was present when the shooting took place and witnessed his nephew’s death.
Just before the performance was set to begin, a physical fight initiated by Quavo reportedly broke out, resulting in him preventing Offset from joining him onstage. The two had to be separated by onlookers, TMZ says.
