Quavo paid tribute to his late groupmate — and nephew — Takeoff at the 2023 Grammys.
The Migos rapper took the stage Sunday night with Maverick City Music to perform “Without You” as they remembered the life and legacy of Takeoff, who died on Nov. 1.
The rapper — who was dressed in all black with a simple silver chain and a mask that covered half his face — began his “In Memoriam” tribute while sitting on a stool surrounded by the choir singers. He even flashed the audience with Takeoff’s diamond-encrusted chain.
He concluded the tribute by promising Takeoff he would “keep your name alive as long as I live.”
While Quavo has stayed under the radar since Takeoff’s passing, Offset — who co-founded the rap group in 2008 — has been using social media to help cope with the pain.
“S–t not easy[,] fake smiling and s–t[,] tryna keep walking with my head up,” the rapper — whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus — tweeted last month.
Before that, Offset said the loss “left a hole in my heart that will never be filled.”
“The pain you have left me with is unbearable,” the 31-year-old wrote via Instagram. “My heart is shattered and I have so many things to say, but I can’t find the words.”
He continued, “I’ve been going to sleep and waking up hoping that all of this is a dream, but it’s reality, and reality feels like a nightmare.”
Takeoff — whose real name is Kirsnick Khari Ball — was shot and killed at the age of 28 after an altercation broke out at a party.
Shortly after, authorities arrested 33-year-old Patrick Xavier Clark and have since charged him with murder.
