Vice President Kamala Harris gave Quavo’s character an A+ after their fireside talk about gun violence.
The discussion was held on Tuesday, June 18, during the first-ever Rocket Foundation Summit in Atlanta. The late rapper from Migos remembered his late nephew and groupmate TakeOff on this day, which would have marked his 30th birthday. It was a momentous occasion for him.
The politician said, “I joined @QuavoStuntin for the first-ever Rocket Foundation Summit on Gun Violence Prevention,” in an X (previously Twitter) tweet following the summit. Quavo: I appreciate your bravery, leadership, and organizing this important discussion. We keep working together to save lives and maintain community safety.
She also posted a video of the event, which you can see below:
Quavo and Harris have previously met to discuss the aforementioned problem. TakeOff’s mother, Huncho, and his mother met with the 59-year-old in September at the White House to talk about the growing problem that finally claimed TakeOff’s life.
Afterwards, Quavo told the AP, “I feel like your calling comes at the least expected times.”
You don’t believe that nothing will occur. He went on, “I have to walk up to the bat and hit a home run. “I must take action to prevent it from happening to the majority of people, particularly given our culture. I don’t want someone else to experience this. My goal is to reduce these percentages.
“We must improve the way we regulate firearms. We must work out a way to prevent people from traveling anyplace and believing they may harm someone when it shouldn’t be allowed to happen.
Following their meeting, Harris thanked the “Walk It Talk It” singer and his family on Instagram for visiting the White House.
She stated, “I appreciate that Edna, Titania, and @quavohuncho used your voices to honor TakeOff’s legacy and call for action to prevent gun violence.”
Quavo additionally took part in a panel debate alongside Representative Lucy McBath, Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock, and Community Justice Action Fund’s Greg Jackson. The topics of discussion included community intervention strategies, the problem of gun violence in general, and the effectiveness of activism.
