Offset is slamming Quality Control.
Amid his ongoing lawsuit, the Migos rapper took to Twitter to call out his former label. He claimed in a series of since-deleted tweets that QC was preventing him from releasing solo music.
“Never thought life would be this fu**ed up,” he wrote, using the hashtag #LLTake to pay tribute to Takeoff. “I’m also unable to drop music.”
While he did not specifically mention QC, he did allude to “Black ppl holding black ppl back.”
The tweets come amid his legal battle with QC regarding his solo career. He sued the label in August, accusing them of ignoring a deal they negotiated in January 2021. Offset claims he “paid handsomely” for his solo artist rights, but QC did not honor the agreement and was attempting to take ownership of his solo music, including his hit single “54321.”
Offset’s lawyer stated in a recent court filing obtained by RadarOnline, “[Quality Control’s] wrongful interference with the upcoming release of Offset’s new music and continued instance of being credited as the owner of Offset’s new solo sound recordings is groundless and unjustified.”

In the aftermath of Takeoff’s death in November, Offset postponed the release of his sophomore solo album, the follow-up to his 2019 debut Father of 4. Apart from his Hit-Boy collaboration “2 LIVE,” which was released in collaboration with Patron, he hasn’t released any solo music this year.
Quality Control released Quavo’s solo single “Honey Bun” on Friday. He and Offset appear to be unable to reconcile and were reportedly involved in a fight before Quavo’s Takeoff tribute at the Grammys.
Quality Control CEO Pierre “P” Thomas and COO Kevin “Coach K” Lee sold Quality Control, home to Migos, Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, and City Girls, to HYBE America in a $320 million stock and cash deal in February.
