February 6, 2023 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

UPDATE: Offset seemingly denies that a fight with Quavo took place:

****

From TMZ, where you can read more on the story:

There’s clearly still serious bad blood between Migos’ rappers Quavo and Offset following the death of Takeoff … and those emotions boiled over backstage at the Grammys into a physical fight.

Sources at the show tell us just before Quavo took the stage to perform his song “Without You” as a tribute to Takeoff during the “In Memoriam” segment of the show, he and Offset got into a physical fight and had to be pulled apart.

As for what led to it — we’re told The Grammys had asked Offset to be a part of the tribute, but Quavo refused to let him take part. We’re told Quavo blocked Offset from joining him on stage … leading to the melee.

Our Offset sources say it was Quavo who started the fight.
