Quavo recently launched his own cognac brand White X, and as part of the celebration, he decided to honor women in sports media with a private dinner.
Going down on ESPY weekend in Los Angeles last month, attendees included WNBA host Jordan Robinson, E! News and TBS host Nina Parker, FOXLA’s Mimi Brown, sports influencer Brittney Elena and more. The theme of the night was excellence and recognition.

“Since I’m new to the table, I wanted to bring my own flex,” Quavo previously told BET about White X Cognac. “We wanted to make sure people could touch it. I wanted to stamp it in Atlanta first and make some noise for my city, so it’s only right if I come through the door with it.”
“They’re coming with a fresh, new look,” he said of the partnership. “They needed someone who set trends. It’s a smoother drink that still helps you think a little bit brighter, so now we’re here.”

On the music side of things, Quavo has been teasing a sequel to his joint album with Travis Scott for some time now, and it looks like the project may be arriving in the near future.
Taking to his Instagram Story last month, the former Migos rapper previewed a snippet of a new song with La Flame while riding on a boat in Miami.

In a follow-up story, he simply stamped “HJ2” (presumably Huncho Jack 2) over a snap of the water.
Back in February, Quavo previewed a song at Travis Scott’s Super Bowl party in Las Vegas, though he didn’t offer any insight as to when it might come out.

When Instagram blog Our Generation Music shared a clip of the moment to their page, Quavo took to the comments section with emojis of a side-eye as well a rocket, getting fans even more excited.
Last year, he incited anticipation when he took to Instagram to respond to a thread that celebrated Travis Scott’s achievements while subtly hinting at a new release, writing: “That’s tuff next one loading….. battery up.”
“Huncho Jack SO slept on shit is amazing,” one person responded to the subtle announcement, while another added: “OMG PLEASE and we need The Scott’s then I can die peacefully. Hyped cause Quavo in his prime rn but I also really wanna see that Travis × Don Toliver project.”
In late 2017, Quavo and Scott partnered up for the release of Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho. Commercially, the project was well-received as it debuted at No. 3, beating out Eminem’s Revival.
