Navigating the death of a family member is never easy, but when they also happen to be your coworker/best friend – and you're two of the biggest rappers in the world, things become even more complicated. Quavo has been navigating the unexpected passing of Takeoff as gracefully as possible, and while things haven't been easy, the "WORKIN ME" artist shared in a new interview that feeling his frequent collaborators' energy moving alongside him has made things easier.
"I just feel my boy's energy. He got his chair over there, he just be kickin' it," Quavo explained. "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 of that," the Atlanta native added, clearly wanting Takeoff to feel his respect in the afterlife.

Viewers in the comments have suggested that perhaps the Praise This actor feels guilty because he was the one who was out with Takeoff on the night of his death.
Whatever the case may be, fans have made it clear that they're praying for Quavo's healing at this time. He's made it known that making his upcoming Rocket Power album has been therapeutic for him, and we're eager to hear what stories he'll tell on that.
