Critical reception
In a review of Quavo Huncho, Kassandra Guagliardi of Exclaim! called it "one of the few tracks where Quavo holds his own without any features."[1] Luke Fox of XXL put it alongside "Bubble Gum" and "Big Bro" as part of the album's "easily forgettable filler".[2]
Music video
The music video was released on August 22, 2018, via Migos' YouTube channel Migos ATL. It was directed by Quavo, Joseph DeRosiers Jr. and Edgar Esteves.[3] The visual starts off at a mobster's mansion, where Quavo is having a discussion about loyalty with his mob boss while they are playing pool. As the boss's niece, played by Quavo's then-girlfriend Saweetie, walks to them, Quavo keeps his eyes on her. However, the boss threatens his life if he ever pursues her.[4] After Quavo ignores the threats, he and Saweetie are kidnapped by the mob boss, who ends up getting killed by his own security guard.[5]
