Young Thug recruits Quavo for YSL Records, urging him to leave Capitol in a new Instagram pitch. Will the Migos star make the switch?
- August 5, 2026
AceShowbiz - Young Thug is making another high-profile recruiting pitch, this time aiming to bring Quavo into the YSL Records fold.
On Monday (Aug. 3), the former Migos rapper took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos showing himself enjoying time in the studio and working on new music. One image captured Quavo casually smoking outside of Capitol Records, the label that serves as his current home base.
Young Thug, who shares a close friendship with Quavo, didn't hesitate to make his intentions known in the comments section. He urged the Atlanta rapper to make a switch, writing, "Leave capital and come with us brada we need u."
Quavo has not yet publicly responded to the offer, but it appears he may remain with Capitol given his long-standing ties to Quality Control Records, the parent label that has overseen his career for years.
The two rap heavyweights have a deep history of collaboration. Their joint catalog includes standout tracks like "Guwop," which also featured Offset and Young Scooter, as well as "Pick Up the Phone" with Travis Scott, "Circle of Bosses," "You Said," and several other fan favorites.
This isn't the first time Young Stoner Life's founder has publicly courted a major artist. Back in June, Young Thug made a similar pitch on X to Kodak Black, urging him to sign with the YSL imprint. Kodak responded with a bold list of demands, including a $100 million signing fee and a collaboration with Thug's fiancée, Mariah The Scientist. After that exchange, the label boss went quiet on the "ZeZe" rapper.
Now all eyes are on Quavo to see whether he'll entertain the offer or continue building at his current label home. Fans of both artists will be watching closely for any further developments, especially given the chemistry they've shown in the studio over the years.
Young Thug's persistent efforts to expand YSL's roster signal his ambition to keep building the label's legacy with top-tier talent. Whether Quavo ultimately makes the leap remains to be seen, but the invitation has certainly been extended in a very public way.
