- Rest in power, Takeoff.
- You can tell how genuine Quavo's emotions are.

- Rocket Power sounds like it's really gonna be something special.
Quavo is opening up about his state of mind after the passing of his nephew, Takeoff.
In a new interview, the Migos rapper reveals how hard he had to work to contain his emotions after the loss and how he continues to hold Quavo down after death. He says, “You gotta find a spot within yourself where you can handle all words, all comments. And once you get with that, then you can come outside and get around people; so then it don’t really affect you… For an example, I went to the Super Bowl and I heard someone yell something crazy, and it took me everything in the world to not just want to smash his face in, because he just said something wild. But I just knew. And God knows where we’re at in life, and what actually went on, and what I’ve seen. I just feel like it was another test to see where I was at.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Quavo states straight up, “I think about him all the time. 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… I just feel my boy’s energy. He got his chair over there, he just be kickin’ it. I always kick it with him. People don’t understand, but I be there. I be there in the house making sure all his stuff is straight, all his jewelry is clean. Still taking care of all his cars and all that.”
