Quavo is at the center of a storm after allegations surfaced that he scammed popular streamer Vitaly out of $300,000. The rapper, however, seems to have the support of social media users despite the accusations.
During a stream, Vitaly revealed, “So, Quavo is not coming… He took our deposit… Yep, of course. Black people thing.” This statement triggered a flurry of reactions online. While some condemned Quavo for the alleged money grab, others came to his defense in light of Vitaly’s divisive “Black people” comment.
One social media user questioned, “Why would you give 300k to anyone, let alone someone you’re already prejudice/racist against, and not have them sign some kind of contract or document?” Another commenter expressed satisfaction, saying, “First I felt bad but ‘black people thing’ made me glad he got his money took. B****.”
Quavo has chosen to stay silent on the accusations publicly. Despite the controversy, he has maintained an active presence on his social media handles, recently teasing his upcoming pop record that reportedly samples Lenny Kravitz’s Fly Away and features Lana Del Rey.
