Some of those closest to slain rapper Takeoff have finally broken their silence following his untimely passing on Nov. 1.

In a second post on Instagram Quavo shared three slides containing a lengthy message dedicated to the late rapper.

“It’s so hard to tell you Ima miss you because you always with me and we did everything together,” Quavo wrote to begin the sprawling statement. “Since we were kids you been by my side lookin up at me, them eyes waiting on me to make the next move..then you followed up right behind me. You always made sure I did it first so you can do it right with me.”

Quavo described the late rapper as not only the “quietest in the room” but also the “funniest person” in the room, too.

“Nothing ever really bothered Take and he didn’t bother anybody,” Quavo wrote. “He the most unbothered person in the world. He never got mad, he never raised his voice, and when he did, he silenced the room because what Take said was law and he wasn’t changing his mind.”

Quavo said his nephew had a “passion for music,” adding, “it was HIS dream to become a rapper cuz I didn’t kno what I wanted to do.”
