Sometimes the best songs can be the ones you didn’t expect, and that was the case for Quavo when the Migos recorded “Versace” in 2013.
Huncho spoke with WWE legend Rey Mysterio for an episode of GOAT Talk at ComplexCon recently, where he revealed his doubts about releasing “Versace,” which introduced the signature triplet flow from the ATL trio and became their breakout hit.
“I would think like ‘Versace’ would be a crazy thing to drop,” he said. “Cause we were just in the studio saying ‘Versace, Versace’ like anybody else would be like, ‘Man, cut that shit off. What the f–k y’all doing?’”

Huncho admitted he was wrong: “But that was the record that changed our life, and Drake got on that song. So sometimes your worst can be your best. You just gotta shoot your shot and keep trying.”
Produced by Zaytoven, the trap anthem caught Drake’s ear, and the 6 God co-signed it, pushing “Versace” further into the mainstream. The track was the first Migos entry on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting at No. 99.
Billboard named “Versace” as one of the 100 songs that defined the decade of the 2010s. “I knew it was hard already and it was going crazy, but when Drake hopped on it, I was like, ‘Oh snap, now we really got the hottest song in the world,’” Zaytoven told Billboard in 2019. “They definitely changed the industry at that time.”
