Gucci Mane Says Migos Used to Wear Fake Chains, and Offset Responds: ‘Das CAP U Know Dat’

Is it a matter of being untruthful or forgetful?

That could be a question thrown at Gucci Mane and Offset, who had a minor dispute about fake jewelry over the weekend.

Because on Friday, April 26, Guwop posted the video to Migos‘ 2013 song “Holmes” and told a story about their first meeting and the chains Migos wore. He also added a part about Offset being locked up at that time.

“The First day I met the @migos @quavohuncho @yrntakeoff both threw away the fake chains they had on cuz I gave them them both the 2chains off my neck 💎💎” wrote Mane on Instagram.

“same day @offsetyrn called from jail and told me send racks to his lawyer to get him out and I did that the same day off our first conversation #NoCap💰💰💰#IGETTHEBAG #1017GlacierGang,” he also detailed.

Offset later responded, and although the Migos member expressed gratitude for working with the well-established Mane early on, he said his claims just weren’t true.

“Das CAP U Know Dat,” wrote Offset. “But I’m So Blesed We Gon Leave It @ Dat… Thank you.”

But Mane shot back and said it was Offset who had it wrong, not him.

“Boi U Cap You ain’t forgot,” wrote the “Wasted” rapper next to a money bag emoji.

Both rapper’s fans then weighed in and quickly took sides.

“Mane not gone lie,” one person wrote.

“don’t disrespect u know he put y’all on stop cappin 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐,” someone wrote to Offset.

But there were a decent number of people who said it didn’t matter if Mane’s claims were true, he should’ve kept the story to himself.

“Whether u Cap @laflare1017, day Cap or 🚫🧢 @migosyou don’t need to post all this unnecessary story, what was the point?,” someone asked.

“some things you just keep to yourself even if it is true,” a second person stated.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
