Migos' Quavo mourns Takeoff with emotional post after rapper's public memorial

Migos star Quavo has paid an emotional tribute to his nephew Takeoff after he was gunned down outside a bowling alley earlier this month.

The touching Instagram post came the day after a memorial ceremony was held for the rapper that saw thousands of mourners gather at State Farm Arena on Friday (November 11).

Quavo shared a string of photos of the pair to his social media page as he reminisced about their lives growing up as kids and as adults.

The 31-year-old laid out his emotions as he shared his memories and praised Takeoff as a person in the letter-style post to his followers.

He penned: "Dear Take, It's so hard to tell you Ima miss you because you always with me and we did everything together. 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. You never competed with me, we were always on the same team."

The lengthy post also saw Quavo cite his nephew's ability to be the "quietest in the room" as he praised his laid-back but perceptive personality.

He said: "Nothing ever really bothered Take and he didn't bother anybody. 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."

He then called his nephew the "funniest person in the room" admitting "once you got him goin he wouldn't stop."

He continued: "Growing up he knew every song off the Hot Boyz album, every lyric word for word and he was cursing up a storm.

"So it's safe to say we had something going then. It came easy to us when it came to style and swag…Then he created this triplet flow and the rest was HISTORY.

"He never worried about titles, credit, or what man got the most shine, that wasn't him. He didn't care about none of that as along we brought it back to the family!"

He then finished his post by calling Takeoff an "angel" and promising to keep his name alive "as long as I live."

He concluded: "This whole time I've been trying to figure out what you really are to me because nephew wasn't it… But I knew you weren't my brother cuz you are my sister's son so I couldn't say brother. Now I finally get it…you are OUR angel.

"We laughed way more than we ever argued and when we did I always was in the wrong every time…I'm proud to say I've seen your blessings…You will continue to send your blessings down from Heaven and I will continue to keep your name alive as long as I live."
