Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Quality Control co-founder Pierre "P" Thomas was hospitalised in Las Vegas after suffering a heart attack, a scare that briefly generated confusion online before his representative confirmed he was "alive and currently hospitalized receiving medical care." TMZ first reported the incident, noting Thomas had been placed under close observation in a hospital's intensive care unit. His team asked for privacy for him and his family while he recovers, and no further updates on his condition have since emerged.
Thomas co-founded the Atlanta-based Quality Control in 2013 with Kevin "Coach K" Lee, building it into one of hip-hop's most influential labels and management companies, home to acts including Migos, Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, City Girls and Rich the Kid, as well as numerous athlete clients. The company was sold to Hybe America, then led by Scooter Braun, in 2023 in a deal reportedly worth around $300 million in cash and stock; Braun subsequently stepped down as Hybe America's chief executive in July 2025.
