How often do you hear about artists collaborating without financial exchanges involved? In a surprising revelation, Offset shared that Drake never charged Migos for his musical features, including popular tracks like “Walk It Talk It.”
Offset expressed his gratitude towards Drake, highlighting his unwavering support for the group. Drake’s involvement began with a hit remix of their 2015 song ‘Versace.’ His generosity extended beyond features, as he frequently attended Migos’ video shoots without causing any hassle or demanding charges.
Not only did Drake refrain from charging Migos, but he also offered the group an equal share of the publishing rights on their collaborations. This kind of goodwill is rare in the music industry, making Drake’s actions even more commendable.
Offset opened up on the Full Send Podcast, revealing the depth of Drake’s support: ‘Always showed love. Always pulled up to the video shoots, all that sh*t. Don’t make a hassle, don’t be charging nothing.’ The generosity didn’t stop there as Offset also discussed the possibility of rekindling a musical relationship with Quavo to honor Takeoff, the late Migos member.
An introspective Offset admitted to past mistakes that strained his relationship with Quavo. However, he was candid about his desire to make amends and acknowledged his responsibility for the discord. ‘I realized I was wrong…I want the best,’ he confessed.
In a separate conversation, Offset mentioned the strengthening bond between him and Quavo, despite online rumors trying to paint a different picture. He emphasized that their focus is on family, acknowledging that disagreements are natural but don’t define their relationship. ‘It’s family at the end of the day…You’re gonna bump heads with your family sometime,’ he explained.
The story underscores the importance of camaraderie and respect in the music industry, as illustrated by Drake’s actions and Offset’s introspection. These dynamics can lead to meaningful collaborations and creative growth, offering a fresh perspective on industry practices.
This revelation by Offset not only highlights the generosity of artists like Drake but also stresses the importance of authenticity and camaraderie. The music industry thrives on such connections, reminding us that sometimes the best collaborations stem from genuine respect and support.
