LOS ANGELES — Quavo, the Migos trailblazer, is charging into Hollywood with unshakable confidence, declaring his intent to surpass music-to-film icons like 2Pac, Will Smith, Queen Latifah, and Ice Cube. In a fiery TMZ interview on April 25, 2025, the rapper-turned-actor didn’t mince words: “They can’t mess with me,” he said, signaling his determination to make a seismic impact on the big screen.
Quavo’s acting resume is growing steadily. He recently reunited with John Travolta for High Rollers, the sequel to Cash Out, co-starring Kristin Davis. His credits also include Savage Salvation alongside Robert De Niro and John Malkovich, and Praise This with Chloe Bailey and Druski. Up next, he’ll appear in Takeover with Billy Zane, though a release date remains under wraps. While his debut in Cash Out sparked mixed reviews—some lauded his pivot to acting, others were less convinced—Quavo’s hustle remains relentless, fueled by the same bold energy that defined his music career.
As Quavo storms Hollywood, the music world buzzes with parallel ambition. Afrobeats stars Ayra Starr and Wizkid dropped their scorching single “Gimme Dat” on April 25, while Wizkid, Rema, Tems, and Asake vie for Favorite Afrobeats Artist at the 51st American Music Awards, set for May 26 in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Los Angeles–based artist Monsieur Belange released “Jack in the Box” on the same day, a soulful hip-hop anthem inspired by a 2022 moment at a California fast-food joint, available on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
Quavo’s Hollywood gamble is a high-stakes bet, but with his track record, he’s not one to back down. Follow @quavohuncho on Instagram for updates, @monsieurbelange for Belange’s journey, or visit Monbelange.com. Tune in to the AMAs on CBS and Paramount+ to catch the music world’s biggest night.
