The answer fans have been waiting for.

During an interview on Rap Radar, Elliott Wilson ask Takeoff the infamous question about the groups hit single ‘Bad and Bougie’. He says, “was it something about ‘Bad And Boujee’ why you didn’t wanna rap on that beat? Why wasn’t you on that song when it came out?”

“I just think it was just timing,” Quavo replies. “We was just trying to get something out. We was actually pissed off because we ain’t have no music out. I think like a couple months before the whole little wave and we was going through the litigation with 300 [Entertainment], so we ended up leaking ‘Bad N Boujee’ on SoundCloud first. Sh*t, I wasn’t even gonna be on it. I had to do my verse on some quick fast in a rush sh*t. So it was just like everybody running to the song and trying to get it done.”

The song was released back in 2016 and has been a staple for the group now. Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks proposed the question why was Takeoff ‘left off’ the track, and the heated exchange instantly went viral.
