Quavo has now addressed a concerning tweet where he repeated lyrics from his Rocket Power single, “Disciples.” The post in question read, “I kno it’s been some years but now I’m taking Xanz,” leaving many fans worried that the Migos member may have dabbled into the addictive antidepressant.

However, Quavo cleared up his tweet while speaking with VIBE on Wednesday (Aug. 30).

“I’m fine. I’m okay. It’s just y’all gotta listen to my lyrics. Y’all ain’t listening to the lyrics,” he said. “So right now, I’m breaking them down over Twitter. I might say a line, I might say a bar. But if you listen to the album, those are the bars and lines that I’m actually displaying on my Twitter. But I’m good. Thank y’all for ya’ll concerns.”

The tweet caused a lot of conversation online on Sunday (Aug. 27), especially after so many rappers have become addicted and even succumbed to the medication and other opioids. Xanax is prescribed to treat anxiety, panic disorder, and victims of extreme mental or emotional trauma.

One user responded to Quavo’s tweet with, “I feel ur pain stay up soldier,” as another said, “Damn. I hope this ain’t a cry for help. I hope you alright my g.”

Other fans attempted to draw a parallel between the lyrics and the 2022 death of his nephew and group member Takeoff, né Kirsnick Khari Ball.

Quavo was actually present when a bullet took Takeoff’s life, and has since been coping with the loss through music and more, hence his newest album is named after him. Rocket Power — which has an array of different sounds — released on Aug. 18, nine months after Take’s passing.

The LP peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 and boasts the singles, “Greatness,” “Turn Yo Clic Up,” and “Who Wit Me.”

In February, Quavo gave his first public performance since the tragic event at the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards, where he performed the tributing track, “Without You.”
