Quavo has had to deal with a flurry of emotions since TakeOff‘s murder, and the ex-Migos rapper has now recalled a time when a fan really tested his patience with a comment.
In an intimate conversation posted on his YouTube page on on Thursday (July 27), Huncho revealed that it took a lot of effort to not fall into a negativity trap when it came to talking about his nephew’s death.

“You gotta find a spot within yourself where you can handle all words, all comments,” he said. “And once you get with that, then you can come outside and get around people; so then it don’t really affect you.”
He continued: “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.”

Quavo didn’t specify what, exactly, the fan said to provoke such a reaction, but it was clear that TakeOff’s death is still a sore spot for him.

Earlier in that same interview, Quavo also revealed that the pain of losing his former Migos partner is sometimes so great that he cries himself to sleep to get out of the agony.
“I think about him all the time,” he said about TakeOff. “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.”

Quavo has spoken fondly about his late nephew on numerous occasions since he was shot and killed in November 2022.
In May, he took to Instagram where he penned a heartfelt candid message to fans about his emotional state while creating the Rocket Power project following TakeOff’s death.
“Rocket Power The Album coming soon,” he revealed with the LP’s possible artwork. “This album is for the Rocket our true fans and also this is my therapy. This is album is a true reflection of how I feel right now.
“Sometimes I’m Good, sometimes I’m Down, sometimes I’m Disappointed, sometimes I fall apart but then I ALWAYS find my strength again.”

He continued: “I know everything might not be alright right now, but the rocket showed me a way to make it RIGHT! Rocket Power keeps me going. Rocket Power gives me fuel. Rocket Power will help us all overcome whatever we’re going through.”
TakeOff was shot and killed outside 810 Billiards and Bowling Alley in Houston on November 1, 2022, after an argument following a heated dice game. The 28-year-old’s murder has spawned a pair of arrests.
