Quavo

Quavious Keyate Marshall, known professionally as Quavo, is an American rapper and record producer. He is the frontman of the hip-hop duo Migos, originally a trio with his nephew Takeoff and their mutual friend Offset. Quavo's melodic hooks, distinctive ad-libs, and triplet flow helped define modern trap music and influenced artists like Kanye West.

As a solo artist, Quavo has appeared on six Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles, including Post Malone's diamond-certified "Congratulations," Justin Bieber's "Intentions," Liam Payne's "Strip That Down," Drake's "Portland," and DJ Khaled's "I'm the One" and "No Brainer." His debut solo album Quavo Huncho (2018) peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and produced the platinum single "Workin Me." His second album Rocket Power (2023) was a tribute to Takeoff, who was fatally shot in 2022.

Quavo has also ventured into acting, appearing in films like Praise This (2023), Cash Out (2024), and High Rollers (2025). In 2026, Migos reunited as a duo, and Quavo released the singles "Bando," "HunchO STEP!," and "MUTT." With over 35 billion streams across platforms, he remains a dominant force in hip-hop, balancing solo innovation with honoring his late nephew's legacy.[edit]

Quavo grew up in Gwinnett County, Georgia, a suburban area northeast of Atlanta. He was raised alongside his nephew Kirshnik Ball (Takeoff) and their friend Kiari Cephus (Offset), with the three forming a tight bond that later shaped their music. Quavo attended Berkmar High School, where he was the starting quarterback for the football team during his senior year in 2009. That season, Berkmar went 1-9, but Quavo threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns in the team's only win, completing 19 of 25 passes. He also set a Georgia high school record for most completed passes in a single game (28), a mark later broken by Taylor Heinicke.

Despite his athletic promise, Quavo dropped out of Berkmar High School months before graduation in 2009 to pursue music full-time. He formed Migos in 2008 with Takeoff and Offset, and the group released their first mixtape Juug Season in 2011, followed by No Label in 2012. Their early work caught the attention of local audiences, but national recognition remained elusive until the 2013 single "Versace" became a viral hit. Complex Music named Quavo the most influential rapper of early 2014.[edit]

Quavo's breakthrough came in 2013 when the Migos single "Versace" exploded in popularity, later receiving a remix from Drake that catapulted the group to national fame. The mixtape Y.R.N. (Young Rich Niggas) earned critical acclaim from Complex, SPIN, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone. In 2017, Migos' album Culture debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and featured the massive hit "Bad and Boujee." That same year, Quavo released the collaborative album Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho with Travis Scott under the duo name Huncho Jack.

In 2018, Quavo released his debut solo album Quavo Huncho, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and included the platinum single "Workin Me." He continued to dominate as a featured guest, appearing on multiple chart-topping hits across pop, R&B, and hip-hop. Following Takeoff's death in 2022, Quavo released his second solo album Rocket Power (2023) as a tribute, peaking at No. 18. He expanded into acting with roles in Praise This (2023), Cash Out (2024), and High Rollers (2025). In 2026, Migos reunited as a duo, and Quavo dropped the singles "Bando," "HunchO STEP!," and "MUTT." He also collaborated with Luke Bryan on the song "Georgia Ways."[edit]

Quavo is recognized as the frontman of Migos, known for his melodic hooks, distinct ad-libs, and triplet flow that shaped modern trap music. The media portrays him as a versatile artist who collaborates across genres including pop, R&B, and reggaeton. His signature style involves autotune and synth-heavy production, blending Southern surrealism with trap aesthetics. Fans commonly refer to themselves as the "Huncho" community. His social media voice is confident and celebratory, often referencing his success and honoring Takeoff's legacy. Quavo's public persona balances street credibility with mainstream appeal, making him a bridge between underground trap and pop radio. He has amassed 11.3 million Instagram followers, 35.4 billion total streams, 105 million Shazams, and 21.6 billion video views across platforms.[edit]

Quavo commands a distinct presence in modern hip-hop, defined by a vocal community that identifies broadly with the Migos collective rather than a singular moniker for his solo career. While fans of the group often rally under the "Huncho" banner, no official or widely recognized name exists specifically for Quavo's individual fanbase, and there is no evidence of organized campaigns, rituals, or charity drives initiated solely by his personal followers. The audience engagement remains rooted in the broader cultural impact of his melodic hooks and triplet flow rather than structured fandom activities. His professional standing reflects this widespread influence without relying on specific fan-driven metrics. According to the August 2026 evaluation by iFANN, Quavo does not currently hold a placement in the Global Top 1,000 rankings or any published scope list. The iFANN Global Fame Engine has assessed his profile and determined that he is unranked at this time, indicating a status outside the current tier of measured global prominence.[edit]

Born on April 2, 1991, in Athens, Georgia, Quavo stands 5'10" tall and previously held the Georgia high school record for most completed passes in a single game with 28 attempts in 2009. Although he left high school that same year, he eventually earned his diploma in 2020 at age 29. His distinctive triplet flow pattern significantly influenced major artists like Kanye West, while his debut album cover featured a Salvador Dalí-esque design. He owns the Glacier Boyz football team and has accumulated over 35 billion streams across all platforms. A significant moment in his discography occurred with the release of the collaborative album Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho. This project, featuring Travis Scott, propelled him to command 11% of the Billboard Hot 100 chart simultaneously. More recently, Quavo teased a sequel titled Huncho Jack 2, cementing the project's legacy. Following the death of his cousin Takeoff, he released his first solo album, marking an emotional milestone in his career.[edit]

Quavo's father died when he was five years old. He has an older sister named Karasha Marshall. His nephew Kirshnik Ball (Takeoff) was a member of Migos and was fatally shot in 2022. Quavo was raised alongside Takeoff and their mutual friend Offset in Gwinnett County. As of 2026, Quavo is single and has no children. He lives in the Atlanta area and owns the Glacier Boyz football team.[edit]

Quavo has collaborated extensively with Travis Scott (Huncho Jack duo), Post Malone ("Congratulations"), Justin Bieber ("Intentions"), Drake ("Portland"), DJ Khaled ("I'm the One," "No Brainer"), Liam Payne ("Strip That Down"), and Cardi B. He frequently works with Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yachty. His Migos bandmates Takeoff and Offset are central to his career. [edit]

Quavo's public dating history includes a rumored brief connection with Nicki Minaj around 2018, which he referenced on his song "Huncho Dreams." From 2018 to 2021, he dated rapper Saweetie (Diamonté Quiava Valentin Harper); the relationship was highly publicized, with the couple appearing together at events and on social media. They split in 2021 without publicly revealing the reason. Following the breakup, Quavo was romantically linked to model and actress Karrueche Tran around 2021–2022, though the relationship was never officially confirmed. As of 2026, Quavo is reportedly single and not publicly known to be in a relationship. He has no children from any relationship.[edit]

As things stand in 2026, iFANN currently estimates Quavo's net worth at $26 million. This valuation reflects his diverse revenue streams, including music sales and streaming from Migos' four commercially successful studio albums alongside his solo projects. He has appeared on six Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles as a featured artist, such as Post Malone's diamond-certified Congratulations and DJ Khaled's No. 1 hit I'm the One. His debut solo album Quavo Huncho peaked at No. 2 in 2018, while Rocket Power reached No. 18 in 2023. The collaborative album Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho with Travis Scott further contributed to his financial portfolio. Acting roles in films including Praise This, Cash Out, and High Rollers have added to his income. In addition to owning the Glacier Boyz football team and securing endorsement deals, his wealth has grown steadily since the Migos breakout in 2013, driven by guest features and solo endeavors.[edit]

Quavo's major award wins have primarily come as part of Migos. As a solo artist, he has not yet won a Grammy, BET Award, MTV VMA, or Billboard Music Award individually. His solo accolades include being named the most influential rapper of early 2014 by Complex Music and receiving platinum certifications for his single 'Workin Me.' [edit]
