Offset and Quavo of the rap trio Migos have reportedly reached a settlement and dropped a lawsuit against their former record label Quality Control Music.
In 2013, Offset signed a production agreement with the Atlanta-based label for his work in Migos and as a solo artist. In February 2017, the trio signed with Motown and Capitol Records due to QC entering a joint venture with the former. To embark on his own career before the split from Migos, Offset reportedly paid “handsomely” to get the rights to his solo music back.
Last year, Offset alleged that QC was claiming ownership over his recent solo work despite his claims of buying the rights to the music in 2021. According to reports, the Georgia rapper filed a lawsuit to ensure that QC maintains no rights, title, or interest in his solo work.
At the time, Quality Control issued a statement, saying, “Not only are the accusations in this lawsuit false, they are totally detached from reality. Offset remains a part of QC. Back to business.”
This year, reports claimed Quality Control co-founders argued that they owned Offset’s solo music and any agreement previously made was breached when the rapper talked about it online.
However, TMZ recently reported that Offset has voluntarily dropped the lawsuit against Quality Control after reaching a settlement. His solo single “5 4 3 2 1”, produced by Baby Keem, is now solely released by Motown Records.
Earlier this month, Offset and his wife Cardi B released their cocky rap duet ‘Jealousy’ under Motown Records. Meanwhile, Offset and Quavo performed together at the 2023 BET Awards, honoring the late “brother” Takeoff, who died after being shot in Houston last November.
Offset’s second solo album is expected to follow-up his 2019 debut record ‘Father Of 4’, which NME gave four stars, praising its “fine body of work that builds a convincing case that Offset is currently best-placed to be Migos’ break-out solo star.”
