The battle between former Migos member Offset & their record label Quality Control exposes behind-the-scenes drama. After filing a lawsuit against Quality Control, Offset claims that label owner P is blackballing the successful Georgia rapper. P’s response referenced a similar case that Offset & the Migos filed years ago. “The last lawsuit…filed publicly and dismissed quietly,” the label executive tweeted before expressing even more frustration with Offset.
Offset responded online with, “”N***as act like Im the problem I paid millions to get my rights back. N***a you blackballed me I ain’t said shit one time homie I ain’t spoke to you in 2 years now I drop and you want ya name on my credit?” All of this drama taking place on Twitter is coming right after Offset dropped his first single since the split, “54321:”
The Initial Lawsuit That Caused Friction
While Quavo & Takeoff are still members of QC, as a newly reshaped group, Offset looks to continue solo under Motown Records without his former label. The lawsuit Offset filed resulted from his new Baby Keem-produced single “54321” mistakenly labeled as a Quality Control release. The former Migos star reportedly bought his rights as a solo artist from the label already & feels the mistake was intentional. With Offset releasing his 2nd single since leaving the group tonight, Aug 26, you can easily understand his point-of-view.
Offset’s Solo Career Moving Forward
Although it’s sad to see this saga ending, Offset still has a bright future. “54321” is a success for both Offset & Baby Keem, with the song’s video already amassing almost 3 million. Additionally, he’s getting ready to drop a new single called “Code” with Moneybagg Yo at midnight tonight. Moneybagg & Offset recently also joined forces with Trippie Redd on the song “Big 14” earlier this month. With Offset likely getting ready to drop a whole project, are you waiting for solo Offset music?
