Quavo’s speech was brief but impactful, detailing into the importance of gun control as it pertains to saving lives. “You can’t understand the struggle of gun violence if you not in the field or in the heart of it,” the rapper asserted. “One thing I learned from working with Vice President Harris is she always stand on business.” Quavo also alluded to a previous meeting he had with Harris regarding gun control. “It’s only right in the birthplace of the culture is also the same place to launch the first African-American woman to run for president,” he concluded.
Quavo’s passion for gun control is forged in loss. The rapper’s nephew, Takeoff, was shot and killed on November 1, 2022. Both men rose to fame as part of Migos, and Quavo admitted that Takeoff’s death urged him to take a stand. “I feel like your calling comes at the least expected times,” he told Associated Press. “I have to do something about it, so it won’t happen to the masses — especially in our culture. The relationship between Quavo and Harris has benefited both parties. The rapper is providing credibility for Harris among Atlanta voters, and the politician is helping to bolster a cause that Quavo is understandably passionate about. In June, Harris participated in Quavo’s inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit.
