In an act of creative expression, Chris Brown released the deluxe edition of his album 11:11, which includes the track “Freak.” This particular song features collaborations with Lil Wayne, Joyner Lucas, and Tee Grizley. The lyrics of “Freak” contain references to Quavo, a member of the group Migos, and seem to reignite a feud between Chris Brown and Quavo. The bars in question allude to a past romantic relationship between Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran, who is rumored to have been involved with Quavo. The lyrics suggest that Chris Brown’s previous partners are not on par with his current situation, and he expresses his preference for drinking 1942 tequila over associating with Quavo. Additionally, the lyrics imply that Karrueche prefers Casamigos tequila over the music group Migos.
These references to Quavo and the rumored romance have caught the attention of fans and sparked speculation. It should be noted that Chris Brown and Karrueche had an on-again, off-again relationship during the early 2010s before officially breaking up in 2015.
Reports of a romance between Quavo and Karrueche have circulated since they were seen together in 2017. However, Karrueche has denied these rumors, stating her stance on the matter to various media outlets, including The Shade Room. The tension between Chris Brown and Quavo escalated in January after an uncomfortable encounter at a fashion event, where Chris Brown made derogatory remarks about Quavo. It became evident that neither of them desired a reconciliation. Chris Brown expressed his sentiment on Instagram, indicating that he would not compromise his success for individuals he considers insignificant and emphasizing his personal growth.
