It’s been more than a year and a half since a video of Quavo and Saweetie figҺting in an elevator surfaced, but a new GQ interview with the Migos rapper reveals that the incident still weighs heavily on the 31-year-old’s mind.

The footage in question began circulating shortly after the hip-hop superstar couple announced their split in March 2021, which both Quavo and Saweetie confirmed at the time. “While we have reconciled since then and moved past this particular disagreement, there were simply too many other hurdles to overcome in our relationship, and we have both since moved on,” the 29-year-old “Best Friend” artist said. Quavo told E!, “We had an unfortunate situation almost a year ago that we both learned and moved on from. I haven’t physically assaulted Saweetie and am grateful for what we did share overall.

When GQ approached him about the video over 18 months later, Quavo appeared to stare down at the floor before responding. “If I can ever speak on it, I never once in a million years want to do any harm to any woman, period,” he was quoted as saying by the newspaper. “I don’t like what others think. When they saw the elevator, they assumed it was abusive or crаzy.”
Billboard has contacted Saweetie for comment.Following his breakup from the “My Type” artist, Quavo stated that he is not rushing into any new relationships, preferring to focus on himself. “I want to establish [myself] as a human being before I step into any more relationships or anything that can steer me off,” he told the newspaper. 

When questioned about the status of Migos, the game-changing hip-hop trio he co-founded with nephew Takeoff and cousin Offset, the “Hotel Lobby” rapper expressed a similar attitude. Offset, who is married to Cardi B, unfollowed his two bandmates on Instagram in May, sparking suspicions of a breakup. Then, in June, Migos announced their departure as headliners for this year’s Governors Ball.However, Quavo, who has been working on acting and directing projects, just stated that the trio is taking the time to focus on their own goals in order to “maximize their impact independently.”

“Everything revolved around Migos, Migos, Migos. “The three of us,” he explained. “I believe that every group member must develop themselves—their own body of work. If not, you will lose members.”
