It took awhile for Offset and Quavo to reunite after the death of fellow Migos member Takeoff.

Offset sat down with. DJ Whoo Kid on a new episode of SiriusXM's Shade 45, the rapper explained why he attended up at Quavo's album release party for QRÖMELIFE in September. Late Migos member Takeoff, real name Kirsnick Khari Ball, was fatally shot in November 2022 at a Houston bowling alley and lounge while Quavo was present. He was 28 years old.

"I was there to support my brother," Offset said on Shade 45, adding, "Blessings, the rebuild is always the best build."

Offset added that his appearance at the listening party came after a hiatus in communicating with Quavo, although the longtime collaborators have been in touch as of recent.

"It's a time and a place for everything and so we just clicking. We been talking for a long time. Ya'll just ain't know. It just wasn't for the world to know. We had to heal behind the scenes,” Offset continued.

Last August, the Set It Off artist appeared on 7PM in Brooklyn With Carmelo Anthony, and explained that he and Quavo were done feuding, adding that they talked "every other week."

“We gotta holla at each other in the day, at the end of the day, man,” Offset said. “That's family at the end of the day, man. You're gonna bump heads with your family sometime. In the day, a n***a ain't finna play with him, or a n***a ain't finna play with me."

Migos had a public split in 2022, when Quavo and Takeoff released their joint album Only Built for Infinity Links. The following year, Quavo and Offset paid tribute Offset together at the BET Awards in June 2023, just months after having a backstage scuffle at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. At the time, Quavo took the stage to perform “Without You” during the show’s ‘In Memoriam’ segment in dedication to Takeoff and allegedly did not want Offset to be involved.

Quavo and Offset were together in Los Angeles in September at the release party for QRÖMELIFE, where Quavo previewed their collaboration "Away.” The song marks their first collaboration since "We Did It" on Ye's Donda 2.
