T.I. has given major kudos to Quavo and Offset for putting their differences aside and reuniting for a memorable tribute performance for TakeOff at the 2023 BET Awards.
In an Instagram video shared by BET on Monday (June 26), the self proclaimed “King of the South” greeted both Atlanta rap superstars with handshakes and a bright smile backstage at the awards show, which was held in Los Angeles this past weekend.

“Love to see it, ya feel me? Love to see it,” T.I. said upon encountering the Migos duo. “Aye man, great! Great. That shit was monumental. This something they gon’ talk about 10 years from now, 20 years from now. Keep pushing. Keep pushing, man.”
The pair seemed to receive Tip’s words of praise warmly as both Quavo and Offset stopped to pay keen attention to him throughout the hustle and bustle backstage.
Quavo and Offset appeared to squashed their beef as they reunited for a special performance honoring their fallen Migos comrade.
The rap duo performed a medley of Unc & Phew’s “Hotel Lobby” and Migos’ 2016 hit “Bad and Boujee” during a surprise set inside the Microsoft Theater, much to the delight of the crowd.

The performance came a week after Quavo and Offset linked up on what would have been TakeOff’s 29th birthday.
The pair attended a candlelight vigil in Atlanta on June 18 alongside TakeOff’s friends and family.

Less than two weeks before that, Quavo confirmed that Migos were no more on his solo song “Greatness.”

During a recent interview with Variety, Offset admitted that it’s difficult for him to discuss TakeOff, who was shot and killed outside a Houston bowling alley in November 2022.
“It’s hard for me to talk about shit right now,” he said. “I’ve never talked about this stuff. Seriously. Talking about Take is hard, man. Talking about all this shit is hard. That’s why I don’t, to be honest. That shit hurts.

“Like, it’s gonna put me in a mood, and I don’t want to get in that mood. Some things I don’t never tell nobody. He’s not here. That shit feels fake, bro. I get through my day thinking it’s fake. And I don’t say nothing to nobody about it. I think I need to take a break.”
