Offset, a member of the group Migos, is making a solo breakout after a decade in the music industry. He has been paying homage to Michael Jackson in his public attire and is set to pave his own path from the Jackson 5 to a solo superstar. Offset discussed a conversation with Tyler, The Creator that reenergized him and a song he attempted to make for Takeoff, a deceased friend and fellow Migos member. He explained that the world is not ready for the emotional tribute song due to judgmental attitudes. Offset also shared the stories behind his tattoos and explained why his album 'SET IT OFF' avoided emotionally taxing topics. He expressed excitement for his reinvention and the finished product. The rapper's journey is featured in GQ's Men of the Year issue.
