Yes. Quavo was Takeoff’s uncle, which is the source of the Unc & Phew name they used as a duo. Both were also members of Migos alongside Offset, who is Quavo’s cousin.
Understanding that family relationship helps explain why the Hotel Lobby reference feels inseparable from duo chemistry: the performance is built on familiarity, handoff and shared history.
What you will leave with
- Quavo was Takeoff’s uncle; “Phew” is a shortened form of nephew.
- They were members of Migos with Offset before releasing music as Unc & Phew.
- Takeoff died in 2022; use tribute content with care and avoid synthetic impersonation.
The family tree in plain language
Quavo and Takeoff were uncle and nephew, despite their relatively small age gap. Offset is Quavo’s cousin. The three grew up together around Lawrenceville, Georgia, and formed the group that became Migos.
The Unc & Phew billing made an existing relationship explicit. It was not a fictional marketing backstory added for the song.

From Migos to Unc & Phew
Quavo and Takeoff released “HOTEL LOBBY (Unc & Phew)” in 2022 and later the album “Only Built for Infinity Links.” Their work as a pair highlighted the conversational exchange already familiar from group records.
This history is context, not a license to clone their voices or likenesses. An original trend post can borrow the uncle-nephew pairing idea while using consenting family photos and original presentation.
A respectful family-duo prompt
If you make an uncle-and-nephew Hotel Lobby video, focus on your own relationship: the first concert you attended, a piece of advice that aged well, or the family story you each tell differently.
Use platform-licensed music where available and avoid presenting generated footage as a real recording of someone who did not participate.
