Migos unexpectedly landed a win for the culture at the 2018 American Music Awards when they took home the trophy for Favorite Duo or Group Pop/Rock.
Quavo and Offset accepted the award with Takeoff noticeably missing. The award came as a complete surprise for the Quality Control artists. “We did not know we was winning this at all,” Quavo told the crowd. “We thank God, Mama, I love you. QC the label. We ain’t even got no speech together, but it’s all good. Hey, Takeoff, yes sir, we brought it home, you thought wrong. I want to say thank you to all my fans, all our fans, for making us No. 1, for making us the No. 1 group in the world.”
The win was one for the culture because we all know that Hip Hop is the No. 1 genre in the world. Additionally, Rock was heavily influenced by Black people.
The Breakfast Club’s host, Charlamagne Tha God, took to Twitter to argue the Migos are better than The Beatles.
The @Migos winning best pop rock group or duo is the final evidence needed to prove to all white people that they are better than the Beatles.

I just want the record to show @desusnice told me the Migos were bigger and better than the Beatles a few years ago and he’s still correct about that.

Charlamagne elaborated on his stance on The Breakfast Club, though he technically switched his verbiage from “better” to “bigger.” “Does John Lennon have a solo album?” asks Tha God, prompting Angela Yee to respond with “…yes.” “Quavo is bigger than John Lennon,” says Tha God, doubling down. “You don’t need a Yoko Ono when you got Saweetie.”
