Quavious Keyate Marshall[1] (born April 2, 1991), better known by his stage name Quavo (/ˈkweɪvoʊ/), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer.

Formed with his nephew Takeoff and their mutual friend Offset in 2008, the group released four commercially successful studio albums before disbanding in 2023.

As a solo act, Marshall has guest performed on six Billboard Hot 100 top ten singles—Post Malone's diamond-certified "Congratulations", Justin Bieber's "Intentions", Liam Payne's "Strip That Down", Drake's "Portland", and DJ Khaled's "No Brainer" and "I'm the One", the latter of which peaked atop the chart.

[10][11] Quavo previously held the Georgia High School record by completing 28 passes in a game in 2009 until being surpassed by Taylor Heinicke.

[21] The album was released on October 12, 2018, through Capitol Records, Motown, and Quality Control Music and features guest appearances from 21 Savage, Drake, Saweetie, Madonna, Cardi B, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Normani, Davido, and Kid Cudi.

[26] In October 2022, a possible disbandment of Migos became the subject of speculation based on reports that Quavo's ex-girlfriend Saweetie had slept with Offset.

[27] Following this, Quavo and Takeoff formed a super duo, Unc & Phew and went on to release a collaborative album titled Only Built for Infinity Links on October 7, 2022, without Offset's input.

[29][30] On November 1, 2022, less than a month after the release of the duo's first album, Takeoff was shot and killed while with Quavo and others at the 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston, Texas.

[33][34][35] The album was preceded by the hit single "Turn Yo Clic Up" featuring Future and peaked at number 18 on the US Billboard 200 chart.

[36][37] On April 11, 2024, singer Chris Brown released the deluxe edition of his eleventh studio album 11:11, directly dissing Quavo on the track "Freak".

[40][41] Quavo responded three days later with "Over Hoes & Bitches", featuring a posthumous appearance by Takeoff, receiving a mixed reaction from the public.

[42] On June 19, 2024, American singer Lana Del Rey posted a 21-second long preview of her new song Tough along with Quavo on Instagram.

[49] Along with Chloe Bailey and Anjelika Washington, Quavo starred in the Atlanta-set gospel-choir-competition-based film Praise This, which was released in the U.S. and Canada on April 7, 2023.

[54][55] He was released from jail on bond, and later pleaded no contest to misdemeanor marijuana charges and received a 12-month sentence, which was suspended based on payment of fines.

[72][73] In March 2024, Quavo announced the launch of the Spark Grants initiative[74] which will award ten different organizations with $10,000 to help spread awareness and minimize gun violence around Atlanta.

The grant will go into effect and be handed out to recipients on June 18, 2024, which marks the birthday of Takeoff and falls during National Gun Violence Awareness Month.
