LOS ANGELES (AP) — Migos rapper Quavo's quest to transform his nephew Takeoff's tragic shooting into a force for change is convening with a summit against gun violence on what would have been the late rapper’s 30th birthday.
Quavo is hosting the inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit at the Carter Center in Atlanta on Tuesday — the same day as Takeoff's birthday. The music performer will be joined by Vice President Kamala Harris in a fireside chat during the one-day summit, which will also include panel discussions about the gun violence prevention and youth programs.
“It's super hard every day. I'm still crying. I'm still grieving. I'm still mourning,” said Quavo, who along with his family launched the Rocket Foundation in honor of Takeoff and committed millions to invest into community violence intervention.
