[3][4] On the debut studio album by Quavo's hip hop group Migos, titled Yung Rich Nation (2015), Chris Brown was the only artist featured, alongside Young Thug.

[5] Brown and Quavo then continued their personal and professional relationship, collaborating on several other songs, including the singer's track "Whippin’" (2016), contained in his mixtape Before the Trap: Nights in Tarzana, and French Montana's single "Moses" (2015).

[6][7] In 2016, Brown also previewed another collaboration titled "Who This", supposed to be included on his eighth studio album Heartbreak on a Full Moon (2017), but the track ended up never being released, with speculations suggesting the beginning of their feud as the motive.

[18] Brown then addresses the rapper mocking him over his 2009 assault of Rihanna, bringing up Quavo’s own domestic violence incident with the aforementioned Saweetie that was caught on camera in an elevator.

[19] Sha Be Allah of The Source said that the diss track “finds Chris Brown taking his feud with the former Migos member to another level.”[21] Writing for Vibe, Amber Corrine commented that “As the 34-year-old is undeniably one of the most talented, multifaceted stars of today, the R&B heartthrob becomes a different kind of beast when he’s spitting.”[18] Revolt said that the track finds the singer “moving full speed ahead as he continues to flex his rapping chops with another round of lyrics aimed at Quavo”.

[22] HipHopDX praised Brown's rapping on the track, adding that the singer "has taken his disdain for Quavo to a whole different level with the release of ["Weakest Link"], on which he takes some deeply personal shots at his adversary".

[25] On April 22, 2024, 3 days after "Weakest Link" was released, Quavo responded with the diss "Over Hoes & Bitches (OHB)", which features vocals from Takeoff.
