Quavo has made his first public appearance since Takeoff’s funeral as he shops at Prada in Beverly Hills before he will pay a tribute to the late Migos member at the Grammys
Quavo was spotted leaving a Prada store in Beverly Hills on Friday afternoon in what appears to be the first time he has been seen in public since the funeral of his Migos bandmate Takeoff.
The 31-year-old artist’s performance came just two days before his planned tribute to the murdered rapper at the upcoming 65th Grammy Awards.
The late rapper – who eventually became the subject of a tribute from his uncle – was fatally shot during an altercation outside a bowling alley in Houston, Texas, last October.
Quavo wore a patterned light blue sweater over a black T-shirt on his outing.
The hitmaker, born Quavious Keyate Marshall, also wore black pants and a matching hoodie, along with a pair of bright yellow shoes.

It was announced that the rapper would perform during the Grammy Awards honoring his late nephew earlier this week.
The hitmaker will perform a rendition of his tribute track Without You, which lyrically addresses the loss of his former collaborator.
The rapper will also be joined on stage by the Maverick City Music Choir as he performs the song.
Without You was previously released on January 5, with Quavo announcing its arrival on its various social media accounts.
The rapper also released a music video for the song, in which he was seen smoking what appears to be a joint while listening to the track.
The performer was open about his feelings about Takeoff’s death on Without You, which included emotionally vulnerable lines like “tears are rolling down my eyes / can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried.”
The hitmaker continued, “I wish I had a time machine / Just so you can ride with me / I miss the way you smile at me.”
Quavo also referenced his brief collaboration with Takeoff with the line “Unc and Puh until infinity”.
