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

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON
New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.
The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.
Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.
Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.
Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.
While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.
The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
