If you’ve ever watched a Migos video or seen a courtside snap of the "Huncho" himself, you've probably wondered about the same thing as everyone else. How tall is Quavo, really? He has this lanky, athletic build that makes him look like he could’ve easily gone pro in another life—which, honestly, isn't far from the truth.
Quavo, born Quavious Keyate Marshall, is generally accepted to be 6 feet 1 inch tall (185 cm).
Now, if you go down a Google rabbit hole, you’ll see everything from 5'10" to 6'2". It’s confusing. But when you look at the hard data from his high school football days at Berkmar and compare him to the NBA stars he regularly hangs out with, 6'1" is the number that actually sticks.

Why the Height Mystery Exists
Hip-hop has this weird obsession with stats. Rappers are like basketball players; they want to seem larger than life. Most people assume every rapper is short until they see them in person. With Quavo, it’s the opposite. He often looks taller than he is because he’s lean and has impeccable posture—plus, the jewelry and the high-top sneakers definitely add an inch or two.
MaxPreps, which tracks high school athletes, listed him as 6'1" and 145 lbs during his senior year at Berkmar High School. He was a star quarterback back then.
Think about that for a second.
A 6'1" quarterback in Georgia high school football is a pretty standard size. If he were actually 5'10", he probably would’ve struggled to see over his offensive line. The fact that he held the record for completed passes in a single game for a while tells you he had the "vision"—and the height—to get the job done.
The Migos Lineup: How He Compares
To really understand how tall Quavo is, you have to look at him next to the rest of the Migos. When they were all together, the height difference was subtle but there.
- Quavo: 6'1"
- Offset: Approx. 5'9" to 5'10"
- Takeoff: Approx. 5'9" to 5'10"
When the trio stood on red carpets, Quavo was almost always the "tall one." It’s part of why he naturally felt like the frontman or the leader of the group for so long. He just took up more space. Even when you see him next to Offset, there’s a clear couple of inches of daylight between them.
Watching Him Next to NBA Players
The real test of any celebrity’s height isn't a Wikipedia page. It's when they stand next to a professional athlete. Quavo is a regular at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. In fact, he won the MVP in 2018.
During those games, he doesn't look tiny. That’s rare for a rapper. If you see someone like Lil Wayne or Kevin Hart on a court, they look like they’re in a different zip code. Quavo actually holds his own.

He’s been spotted next to guys like Trae Young (who is officially 6'1"). When the two are together, they’re basically eye-to-eye. That’s as close to a "scientific" confirmation as you’re going to get in the world of celebrity gossip. If Trae Young is 6'1" and Quavo looks exactly the same height, then the 6'1" claim is legit.
Does Height Even Matter in Hip-Hop?
Honestly, not really. But for Quavo, his height is part of his "Huncho" persona. He carries himself with the swagger of an athlete. He didn't just stumble into rap; he chose it over a potential sports career.
He recently went back and got his high school diploma in 2020, reminding everyone that while he’s a global superstar, he’s still that same kid from Gwinnett County. His physicality—his height, his speed on the court, his presence—is a big reason why his brand feels so athletic and high-energy.
The "Other" Quavo Marshall
Here is where things get a bit messy on the internet. If you’ve ever seen a listing for a 6'4" Quavo Marshall, you’re looking at a different person. There is a defensive back who played for the University of Kentucky named Jiquavious "Quavo" Marshall.
He’s a beast. He’s also 6'4".
Because they share the same nickname and have similar real names, Google sometimes gets its wires crossed and displays the football player’s stats for the rapper. Don't let it fool you. Our Quavo isn't quite at "shooting guard" height, but at 6'1", he’s still taller than your average guy.
What You Should Take Away
When you're trying to figure out if someone is lying about their height, look at the shoes and look at the friends. Quavo rarely wears massive platforms, and he stands tall next to some of the best athletes in the world.
