We are so proud of Quavo and how vulnerable he is here. It must be so healing for others going through the same kind of grief.
Yes, the rapper is opening up about his late nephew Takeoff in an emotional new interview.
It’s hard to believe it’s nearly been nine months since the talented rapper tragically passed away after being shot in a Houston bowling alley… But one thing that’s remained as strong as ever through all this time is his uncle’s unwavering love.
In a lengthy interview posted to Quavo’s YouTube page titled A Conversation for the Fans, the Greatness rapper reflected on losing a loved one, and how he’s been doing in the time since:
So sad. The two, in addition to Cardi B’s husband Offset, garnered fame in rap group Migos until the 28-year-old’s tragic passing.

Quavo admitted that to this day, he’ll sometimes “cry” thinking about his late nephew:
It sounds like the two had such an incredible bond. While Quavo may be Takeoff’s uncle, they were only three years apart, so they likely had a brotherly-type relationship.
The Atlanta native also shared that his upcoming album Rocket Power, which is set to release next Friday — and is named in tribute to the late artist — features all his bottled up “emotions” and “pain.” He explained:
That’s really sweet. We can’t wait to listen!
He added that he has a “plaque” of Takeoff in his recording studio, so anytime he’s making music, he’ll look over and get “power” from the Last Memory rapper. Still, though, in the wake of his nephew’s death, he’s struggling to find his purpose:
You can really feel the love.
