Quavo and Takeoff Blesses Mama Huncho With A Brand New House For Christmas

Published

on

No one has had such an incredible year as Migos. Kicking 2017 off with the release of their sophomore studio album Culture, the Atlanta trio’s momentum hasn’t slowed up since, relishing in the fruits that come with a chart-topping Platinum album and several of the year’s most successful singles.

Nonetheless, the boys from the Nawf are grateful, and most recently Quavo and Takeoff decided to pay it back when they purchased a home for Quavo’s mother, who is also Takeoff’s grandmother. To the general public she’s known simply as Mama Huncho—a fitting title for the individual credited with raising three of rap’s biggest stars.

“From Huncho and Takeoff. Merry Christmas Mama Huncho,” Quavo penned in a caption that accompanied a shot of the new home. “Love You Enjoy Your New Home.” 

She was the father figure,” Offset once said of the woman they all call, ‘Mama.’ “She knew how to raise you as a man, tell you how n*ggas is. ‘Homes right there is this.’ ‘This nigga right there is this – watch out.’”

“She had a house full of n*ggas playing games, shoes off, eating all the food, and it’s hard times – but she never complained,” Quavo went on to add.

Her direction proved to last as the three men have stuck it out with each other from jump, keeping things in the family. The last time we checked, the group was inching toward a collective net worth of $10 million, and it’s no doubt that the phrase ‘Mama knows best’ played a role in their guidance towards such a benchmark.
