Why did Migos break up?
Quavo and Takeoff teased an upcoming single on their album Only Built For Infinity Links, May 11, 2022.
Offset was not contributing to the campaign, as a result, music lovers with keen eyes noticed.
Rumours circulated that Offset was not present at the project and that Migos planned to separate.
The speculation continued as the trio withdrew from the 2022 Governor’s Ball in June.
At this point, Offset and Cardi B decided to unfollow Quavo on social media. This sparked reports.
Fast forward to Monday, Oct. 3, and Quavo & Takeoff reveal they plan to continue as a trio rather than the trio that made them so popular.
Quavo shared the following: Big FactsPodcast: “We would like to see our careers as a duo.”
“We came from a loyal family that’s supposed to work together and you’re supposed to stick together, but sometimes when s**t don’t work out, it’s not meant to be.
“We stand on loyalty and sometimes that s**t ain’t displayed. Right now we gon’ be the duo till time tell.”
Takeoff made the following comment: “We don’t know all the answers. We pray a lot, so only time will tell.”
The trio became a duo on Friday, October 7.
The last project the family band did together was Culture III, which was released June 2021.
