Quavo is clearing the air, responding to critics who called the Migos rapper insensitive to the late Lil Peep on his Quavo Huncho track "Big Bro."

"Lil Peep Is A Legend A Real Rockstar," Quavo tweeted on Monday. "N E V E R will speak on the deceased."

The concern escalated after producer Smokeasac, who frequently collaborated with Peep, brought attention to a few lines in "Big Bro," which reference rockstars and fentanyl. 

Check out the lyrics below: 

Is you with me or against me?
I'm a OG now so you need me
Think you poppin' Xanax bars, but it's Fentanyl
(No-no bars, it's Fentanyl)
Think you're living life like rockstars but you're dead now

Peep died in November 2017 of an accidental fentanyl overdose.

it’s all love until you speak on my family especially my best friend who recently passed. I want an explanation until then it’s #fuckquavo

Quavo dismisses any notion that he meant to insult the late rapper or those close to him. "RIP TO ANYBODY WHO LOST THERE LIFE TO DRUG ABUSE!" he wrote. 

In his tweet, Quavo decided to lump in XXXTentacion in his tweet. Someone took a moment to correct him, noting X didn't die from an overdose, but was murdered back in June.
