So, wait, Offset and Quavo did NOT struggle backstage on the Grammys on Sunday evening?
That’s what Offset himself claims in a public assertion on social media, at the least. And but new video proof from the awards present’s off-camera prep space would appear to contradict his denial. Hmmm…

As Perezcious readers will recall, we’ve been masking the reported struggle between the 2 Migos rappers that allegedly occurred Sunday evening on the sixty fifth annual music awards shindig. As we first documented on Monday, Offset and Quavo reportedly acquired right into a “melee” behind the scenes on the Grammys instantly earlier than the present’s “In Memoriam” section.
That struggle was supposedly led to by the 2 rappers’ disagreements within the aftermath of fellow Migos star Takeoff‘s homicide final November. Quavo had been set to carry out his tune Without You in the course of the In Memoriam section when producers allegedly invited Offset to hitch. Quavo did not need that, and as an alternative wished to be alone for the Takeoff tribute. Tensions flared and the 2 — who’re additionally cousins — allegedly acquired right into a struggle and needed to be separated.
But now, Offset says that’s all mistaken. On Monday, the 31-year-old rapper took to Twitter along with his facet of the story. His commentary was very temporary and to the purpose, immediately denying stories that he and his cousin fought over the Takeoff tribute backstage:
“What tf look like fighting my brother yal n***** is crazy”
What tf appear like preventing my brother yal niggas is loopy
— OFFSET (@OffsetYRN) February 6, 2023
So that’s that, then. If Offset denies the struggle, it should not have went down like insiders beforehand claimed. Right?
Well…
New video from backstage appears to counsel in any other case. ET had their cameras rolling behind the scenes when their mics picked up Cardi B screaming on the prime of her lungs. The video doesn’t present Cardi screaming; she’s behind a curtain down the corridor from the digicam. However, the audio clip is remarkably clear — and as everyone knows, Cardi has a REALLY distinctive voice.
So you may undoubtedly choose up her one-of-a-kind timbre when the 30-year-old New York native goes off on two unnamed individuals with this telling call-out:
“Both of y’all is wrong! Both of y’all! This is not right! No, shut the f**k up, because you have been talking!”
Whoa!!
Of course, as we’ve beforehand famous, Offset and Quavo have been at odds for some time. Offset was considerably on the outs with Migos even earlier than Takeoff’s demise, selecting to pursue his personal tasks whereas the opposite two rappers continued releasing music. And the rift has actually opened up ever since Takeoff’s homicide again on November 1 in Houston, with Quavo on scene to witness the terrible tragedy.
So, all that’s to say it will make sense if Cardi was the one to step in on Sunday. She and Offset are collectively, and he or she’s overtly talked about making an attempt to console him by means of grief these previous couple of months. And she is aware of Quavo effectively sufficient to inform him off, too. Truly, she would appear to be making an attempt to play peacemaker throughout a really troublesome state of affairs.

Not lengthy after the struggle, ET host Kevin Frazier corralled the Bodak Yellow celebrity and tried to get her to speak:
“I heard you back here settled some stuff.”
Cardi was too good for that, although. Instead of taking the bait to reveal particulars concerning the struggle, she responded:
“The only thing I settled was my outfit, honey.”
You can watch the screaming clip and that follow-up change go down (beneath):

First off, bless Cardi for considering so quick to drop the road about her outfit and brush off the struggle query. So clean and crafty and quick-witted. Seriously!!
Beyond that, the ET video would seem like fairly telling. Who else would Cardi be yelling at? And the “both of y’all is wrong” remark would appear to be a giveaway, too. Right? Cardi’s phrases telling every of them off would make excellent sense as an effort to bury the feud and are available collectively as soon as once more. Just saying!
What do U assume, tho, Perezcious readers?? Share your tackle the backstage brouhaha down within the feedback (beneath)…
