“It’s so hard to say I miss you because you are always with me,” Quavo wrote. “And we did everything together. Ever since we were kids you’ve been by my side, watching me, those eyes waiting for me to take the next step, then you followed right behind me. You always made sure I did it first so you could work things out with me. You never competed with me, we were always on the same team. You hated playing against me.

Quavo recalled that Takeoff was “the most carefree person in the world” and said he was someone who never got angry or raised his voice. However, he also noted that his nephew was always the “funniest” person in the room. Takeoff called him his “angel” and said he was “proud” to be his uncle. “You will continue to send your blessings from heaven,” he wrote. “And I will continue to keep your name alive as long as I live.”

We have to be together. Sometimes when things don’t work out, it wasn’t meant to be. In the same interview, Takeoff added, “We’ve always been a family, [thought]🇧🇷 Nothing will change.”
