When Quavo headed to the White House on Sept. 22, there’s no doubt the Migos rapper wished he was there for a happier reason.
But in Nov. 2022, Takeoff — his nephew and fellow group member — was shot and killed during an altercation at a Houston bowling alley. Now Quavo, who witnessed the shooting, is putting his efforts into supporting the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to address the nation’s gun violence epidemic.
Accompanied by his mom and his sister Titania Davenport, Takeoff’s mother, Quavo talked about dealing with the pain of losing his nephew, and the pressure on young Black men to buy into gun culture.
