Quavo Addresses Nephew Takeoff's Passing For The First Time In Interview: 'I Think About Him All The Time'

Quavo continues to be inspired by his late nephew Takeoff! The entertainer is keeping the Unc & Phew memory alive with his latest dedication to his sorely missed relative.

Following the death of his Migos bandmate, the Hip-hop star has honored the deceased rapper with multiple tributes, from poignant messages to songs. Yet the 32-year-old had never sat down to discuss the impact of his loved one's demise until now.

While promoting his upcoming album, "Rocket Power," the Athens native opened up about creating the studio project for the late musician. Most importantly, the FCF Glacier Boyz partial owner addressed how he navigated life with a broken heart.

It was uncommon for trap rappers to show vulnerability as they typically appeared confident. However, the "Bad and Boujee" artist gave fans a candid view of his vulnerable side in a new interview on his YouTube channel.

The footage, captioned "A Conversation For The Fans #RocketPower," captured the musician's first intimate discussion about Takeoff's death. As seen in the black-and-white footage, the 32-year-old was dressed casually in a graphic long-sleeved top, jeans, and sneakers.

The Athens native sat on a cushion before a filming crew, where an interviewer asked questions in the background. In the clip, the queries flashed across the screen before the "Greatness" rapper replied.

When asked how he was dealing with grief, the media personality noted he had learned the importance of isolation because not everyone had his best interests at heart. In the chart-toppers words:

"Isolate yourself. Sometimes being around people you don't really kind of know, especially in a space where you kind of like down or feeling vulnerable. You don't know if they kind of like still trying to keep you there or uplift you."

The AMA winner continued, "Even if they say positive things, you got to find like a spot within yourself where you can handle like all words, all comments, all opinions. And once you know get with that, then you can come outside and get around people, so then it don't really affect you."

Recalling a moment that tested his patience at this year's Super Bowl, the "Honey Bun" singer revealed someone had yelled "something crazy" at him. Although he did not share the person's rude comment, Quavo stressed that it took him "everything in the world" not to "smash" the individual's face.

Instead of giving in to anger, the 32-year-old drew comfort from the terrible things he had experienced, presumably referencing his presence at Takeoff's fatal shooting. According to the Huncho Jack member, he took the incident as a test from God to see his physical and mental growth.

"When you see things that test you, and you're not ready, and you're going through pain, it can put you on a messed up place," the media personality confessed. "It can put you on a bad place, and right now, I'm just bottled up, and I feel like, like I said, I feel like it's just Rocket Power."

Explaining the concept behind his new album, the showstopper chimed: "With a rocket, you just hold all the energy, hold all the tears, hold all the emotions in one spot. Let it all come out in a space of like artistry or somewhere you like, you know where you wanna express yourself."

Before embracing his grief with music, the Athens native confessed that he had been in a place where he did not care about life. However, he had to be the "bigger person" and be "an instrument" to carry on Takeoff's purpose.

During the emotional interview, the 32-year-old was asked about the lessons he learned from his late nephew. With a sad smile, Quavo said, "Come as you are and leave as you go. You know, just nice, calm, and collective."

"Observe everything, keep a lot of things quiet, keep a lot of things to yourself," the entertainer continued before pausing as the emotions overwhelmed him. "A lot of stuff, it's a lot of stuff, man. I just, I miss him a lot, and I love him. He know I love him."

The "Hotel Lobby" artist noted that his affection for the late rapper would never end and assured fans that whenever he was living his life, Takeoff was always on his mind. In the Migos frontman's words:

"When you see me and see me smiling and then something like that, and you don't gotta never think like I forgot about them or I forget about them. I think about them all the time."

"Sometimes I cry myself to sleep, you know, and that's it, and I just – I just know you're here. I know I can't – if I can't feel them, I just know you're around," Quavo concluded, adding that he stopped using the word "crazy" to describe how he felt about Takeoff's passing.
