I can't kick it with the fake.
I won't sleep with the snakes.
Now that's the lines that I keep playing back over and over and over.
Because obviously there's so many implications and different ways that you could take it.
But obviously, I think we can guess what Quabo is saying with the line.
I can't kick it with the fake and I won't sleep with the snake.
with the snakes.
And I think
I won't sleep
with the snakes.
It's a double
entendre
for a male
and woman
for the people
who kind of broke
the bond
that Quabo had
with his offset
because
I don't want to
make it seem
like Cuevo
an offset
solely split up
because of a woman.
I'm not going to say that.
But to say I won't sleep with the snakes, I can't kick it with the fakes.
And then to have the whole Grammy situation happen with the backstage altercation
with Cuevo literally, you know, blocking Cuevo, I mean, offset from entering the stage
because the takeoff tribute wasn't his track.
It was Cuevos.
So Cuevo block offset from going on a stage.
stage. It was a little altercation, but you know, um, if you ever look up the altercation,
I mean, actually my site might pop up because one of those videos did pretty well as far as the
Quavo offset interaction. If you look up on Twitter, uh, Quavo, Quavo versus Offsend notorious mass
effect, it should pop up. But basically I had the whole like behind the scenes footage, uh,
not like me, of course, but you know, just doing my journalistic, uh, due diligence and,
and, uh, putting the video up of the whole altercation of Quayvacian of,
on the opposite and carty be yelling in the background y'all both wrong y'all both wrong y'all both
know you should have been talking and then i guess i guess quaver offset told her to you know be quiet
which is in a much more explicit way but uh let's just say the offset and and quavo's relationship is is
um what's the word they use when they don't know how long it's going to be i forget it but it's like
that term that MBA be using it all the time. Basically, for the, for the foreseeable future,
Cuevo and Offset are not on the same page. And I will say a name. I mean, I would say a name,
but I don't want to be that messy. But all I'm going to say is, I believe it's over a woman,
but we can never be too short. But the whole saying, I won't sleep with the snakes. I can't
kick it with a fake. I mean, there's only one thing you say that you're,
dog snakes you on when it's that important and it's either money women or both so anyways um quavo
dropped his second tribute for um take off of course rest and peace take off and it's called greatness
and the video is very sporadic and just um all over the place i mean of course it's quavo just enjoying
life so i'm not going to say it's like a bad video by any stretch of the imagination but i would
just thought it would just been like take off in quavo you know a bunch of old videos of them um
maybe they're saving that for the documentary you know there's going to be made there's going to be a
documentary made about the migos um because even with the without you tribute by quavo which i thought
was one of the best tracks of twenty three a lot of people mess with me they're like bro that's not
even close that that tribute was whack i was like what like y'all thought it was whack like man
that man was pouring out his his heart and soul for his brother and
people just comment and just people just comment and messaging me like man that stuff whack
i don't know how you like i'm like dang it's an evil world we're living but anyway anyways um
so quabo's back again to give another takeoff tribute and um i think i even saw mark phillips
from r dc world in the video that's how random it was but anyway um uh the video also has other
things about Quavo's life, of course.
He gets nostalgic about the good times he shared with Takeoff.
So it's not just like a sad track.
It's also talking about other good things that they shared throughout his lifespan.
And honestly, being a huge Migo fan, I'm not going to lie to you.
Being a huge Migo fan, it hurt my heart to see that Quayvon offset wasn't going to
make up after Takeoff passed away.
Because, you know, at first we thought it was over a woman and then Takeoff Pass.
and they still didn't get together.
So now it makes me feel like it was even more than that
or maybe it was something on top of that.
Like I said, I feel like situations
where family can only really get to, like,
it's only so, there's only a couple things
that could really separate, like, real family, I think.
I think it is money or women, honestly.
I think that's the two I think about.
I can't think of anything else.
but um yeah man it's an unfortunate situation because in junior high and high school i grew up
listened to the migos i remember getting ready for games planned across the country like it was
just the greatest thing since slice bread both quavo takeoff and this is back when they were wrapped
like two minutes like each so the track would end up being like six minutes so it was back in that day like
i was like like um really enjoying amigos and even into my high school days into my college days
and to now, I guess the phrase you either die, hero, or live long enough to become the villain, is is wearing his head up because on one side,
Takeoff dead unfortunately passed away by being shot in the head because of an altercation over just an argument.
And then you have Offset, who has had repeated events in just instances.
where he's been in a negative light,
but somehow, some way, he gets back into the good graces of the public.
I mean, we're not too far removed of Offset repeatedly,
I mean, repeatedly cheating on Cardi B to the point where Cardi B says she was finished,
then Offset was showing up forcefully,
which is why I'm comparing this Grammy situation to that,
showing up forcefully on stage with a bunch of flowers everybody like oh look he really wants his
woman back all that good stuff but there's another side of that is he gonna stop cheating or is he
just wanting carty be back and some people will say it's both uh no no or some people would just say
he wants carty be back but he wants to keep cheating so it's like obviously he's had situations
where his morals has been in question.
But of course, everybody makes mistakes, right?
But it's just a repeatability and the repeated action of taking Cardi B for granted
that made her even leave him in the first place and acted like it was really done with
Offset.
And obviously he got her back.
And this whole thing happened with Cuevo.
And allegedly, it's with another woman and he's married to Cardi B.
Cardi B is not really speaking on it
She's not saying it's false but she's basically not speaking on it and it's
It's detrimental to offsets
Public persona because if you don't know
It seems like Cuevo is the only one that's really in the lane to do it justice when when making a tribute to take off because it seems like the industry talk is that
Offset wasn't as close with
quave on takeoff before the ultimate passing of takeoff, which even Jay Prince talked about that,
but I mean, Jay Prince is a little biased, obviously.
But what I really wanted to touch on was just the whole Unconfue album being specifically
because Offset wanted to distance himself from QC and P and wanted to be under his own, like,
tutelage.
And I feel like that didn't have anything to do with the music.
egos until the whole quavo and takeoff interview where they basically spoke on offset
and said that they really put a lot of importance on on loyalty so whatever offset did
there was something that was that was broken with that bond that that cannot be fixed and
that's why i just can't wrap my mind around to be an
anything other than money or a woman because what could cause family for that long to sever ties
completely.
So anyways, with this whole tribute track from Croybo, I'm thinking that offset will be in a tough place
because obviously he's tried to put out music.
I mean, let me look at it because I think he tried to put out a track not too long ago.
I forget what it was.
I don't know if he was a feature or if it was his own track.
But the track really didn't go anywhere.
Let me see.
It wasn't this one.
Trying to find it.
Okay, two live.
Yeah, see, even when you go to it,
like, Two Live was released in January 13th,
and he already has some saddio where he's a feature off of another person's track
on his artist page.
Like, it's like he's burying this hit boy single when it's just that.
It's a single-by-offset from Hit Boy.
Like, it should have had more impact than the actually.
did. So I feel like offset is in a tough place from a moral standpoint because like I say,
you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. And for offset, a lot of the
indication of pointing towards offset is not being a good human being. So anyways, maybe I'm just
totally off with that. Of course, we don't know any of these celebrities. So obviously it's just
off of my own information. I've been
watching, listening,
and just
being infatuated by the Migos
process in general. But at this point,
it's like the truth seems to be coming to
the light. And it's
an unfortunate reality that's that
most
times
the, you know,
all good things have to come to an end.
So, you know, I'm fortunate.
I hate to end on a somber
note. But I guess
one of the more bright spots of this is that Cuevo is dropping some fantastic
tributes for takeoff and I mean just straight fantastic tributes I would say
greatness and without you it's just too I'm not I'm not gonna say greatness is a
you know no pun intended but it's not a great track it's it's an average track
but without you that first tribute from Cuevo tours off uh Tours takeoff was a
I think a classic you know disregarding
where everybody else is commenting, but I think it's a classic.
So anyways, click my link to your bio.
Let me know one of my social medias.
What do you think about Cuevo's second tribute track to take off greatness?
And do you think that Cuevo and offset will ever get back together?
