(WVUE) - Rapper Quavo from the hit trio Migos released a new song Thursday apparently revealing that the group is no more.

His new single “Greatness,” another tribute track to Takeoff, who was shot and killed outside of a bowling alley in Houston in November of 2022, hints at the breakup.

“Came in, swept the game like a storm with the (expletive) flow,” the rapper says on the track. “Take’ did that. So don’t ask ‘bout the group, he gone, we gone. It can’t come back. I’ma make sure mama straight, especially mama Take.”

The song’s music video features old clips of them together.

There had been talks of the group separating for some time, with Quavo and Takeoff forming a duo called Unc and Phew after the Migos’ now-final release together “Culture III” in 2021.

Last month, rumors swirled about Quavo and Offset got into a heated argument backstage at the Grammy Awards. Quavo was given the opportunity to perform a tribute to Takeoff and apparently stopped Offset from participating.
