Known to unequivocally declare that Migos is “the greatest group of all time,” Fish was, however, always warned that he would not want to meet his idols in person—that doing so would dispel the mystery that enables fans to declare their unwavering love and admiration—but this hypothesis proved false. In 2019, at a shoe store in New York, Fish first met Offset’s mother, who upon seeing his paintings introduced him to Offset. This meeting, along with Offset’s first solo album, Father of 4, served as the catalyst for shifting Fish’s focus from all three Migos members to just one. Not only through portraits but also by way of fashion, Fish would paint the jackets, sweaters, and t-shirts worn by his favorite band members.
