Lil Yachty Recalls 'Friendly Beef' With Quavo, Says He 'Used to Be So Mean to Me'

The 'Let's Start Here' artist recalls a time when Quavo was "mean" to him as labelmates on Quality Control Music.

Lil Yachty had a slight beef with his Quality Control Music labelmate Quavo .

On the latest episode of his podcast A Safe Place , Yachty welcomed special guests and QC founders Kevin "Coach K" Lee and Pierre "P" Thomas , discussing his time on the record label, which he joined in June 2016.

Admittedly, Yachty wasn't easily accepted by other artists on the roster, namely Quavo, who he said was "mean" to him early on.

“Quavo used to be so mean to me!” Yachty said about the Migos member at the 39:00 mark.

He continued, “It became like a friendly beef. It was like this thing of battling with me against all three Migos when it came to cars, when it came to jewelry, when it came to women, when it came to clothes, everything.”

Yachty was excited about joining the ranks of artists like Skippa Da Flippa and OG Maco , but added that the competition got real between him and Migos. “Quavo got a new chain, I had to get a new chain.  Offset  got a new chain, I get a new chain.  Takeoff  get a new watch, I would go and get a new watch.”

He continued, “I used to always feel like everyone was trying to little bro me. At first, they thought I was weird as shit. They was like, ‘This n***a is weird as fuck.'”

The rivalry between Yachty and Quavo didn't last long, as the two have collaborated on tracks like "Talk to Me Nice" and "Ice Tray" from the 2017 QC compilation album Control the Streets . But where Quavo initially needed time to warm up to Yachty, the Let's Start Here artist was embraced elsewhere.

“Skippa Da Flippa was the first person [to do a record with me] and he was the nicest person,” he continued. “ Rich The Kid  was cool, he showed love to me eventually. The most thing I remember was Quavo was mean as shit. Quavo was mean as hell, [but he] came around.”

“I’ll never discredit Skippa Da Flippa and Takeoff. Takeoff, from the second he met me, was extremely nice and just welcoming with open arms. OG Maco, he didn’t really show much love either.”

Lil Yachty Reflects On "Friendly Beef" With Migos: "Everyone Was Trying To Little Bro Me"

On Wednesday (Dec. 13), Lil Yachty opened up about his early experiences at Quality Control Music. During his podcast, “A Safe Space,” the rapper spoke with QC co-founders Kevin “Coach K” Lee and Pierre “P” Thomas about his initial tension with labelmates Migos.

Yachty described the dynamics as a “friendly beef.” He explained, “Quavo used to be so mean to me… It was this thing of, like, battling. It was me against all three Migos when it came to cars, jewelry, women, [and] clothes.”

“Quavo got a new chain; I had to get a new chain. Offset got a new chain; I get a new chain. Takeoff get a new watch; I would go and get a new watch,” the musician continued. “I used to always feel like everyone was trying to little bro me. At first, they thought I was weird as s**t. They was like, ‘This n**ga is weird as f**k.’”

Notably, Yachty joined QC in 2016 following his viral hit “One Night.” The management company distributed his debut album, Lil Boat , that same year. The 13-track body of work spawned records like “Minnesota (Remix)” and “Wanna Be Us.”

Despite the challenges, he also acknowledged the support from a few QC artists. “Skippa Da Flippa was the first person [to collaborate with me], and he was the nicest,” Yachty said. “Rich The Kid was cool; he showed love to me eventually. The most thing I remember was Quavo was mean as s**t.”

Although he initially received mixed reactions from peers and critics, Yachty managed to maintain relevance in hip hop. Records like “66,” “BOOM!,” and “Hit Bout It” landed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Georgia native also saw success through a number of collaborations like Drake’s “Another Late Night” and “The Secret Recipe” with J. Cole.

In November, Yachty spoke about the current state of the genre . “Hip hop is in a terrible place. The state of hip hop right now is a lot of imitation. It’s a lot of quick, low-quality music being put out,” he expressed. “People are too safe now. Everyone is so safe. I’d rather take the risk than take the L.”
