Quavo Opens Up About How Takeoff's Death Has Affected Him
On Thursday (July 27), Quavo released a video for the rollout of his new project, Rocket Power on YouTube. In the black-and-white video below, the Migos rapper explained the significance of his upcoming LP, what song he enjoyed recording from Rocket Power and how he came up with the album's name. At the 8:22-mark of the video, however, Quavo got real transparent about how his nephew Takeoff's death has affected him. After discussing the ways he's been dealing with grief and how Takeoff will always have a special place in his heart, the Atlanta rapper confessed that he sometimes cries himself to sleep due to the late rapper's death.
"I think about him all the time," Quavo revealed. "Sometimes I cry myself to sleep, you know, and that's it. I just know he's here. I know that if I can't feel him I just know he's around."
In the video, Quavo is also wearing a shirt that seemingly pays homage to the deceased Migos member. Takeoff was tragically shot and killed in November of 2022.
