The 2023 Grammy In Memoriam Segment will make history thanks to Quavo!
By tradition, the annual awards show honors late music stars who died in the past year. This year’s list includes deceased members of Migos, Quavo’s nephews and precious confidants.
In tribute to the late rapper, his uncle performed a mesmerizing yet touching song titled “Tanpa Awak.” The 31-year-old performed live at the Grammys, leaving many empty tissue boxes.

For his heartfelt performance to Takeoff, the “Hotel Lobby” rapper wore an all-black outfit consisting of a suit jacket, crew neck and pants. She brightened the gloomy look with a silver chain and covered half of her face with a black mask.
The Georgia native paid his respects while sitting on a bench next to an empty chair, perhaps representing his deceased bandmate. In front of the singer was a microphone stand wrapped in one of Takeoff’s diamond-encrusted necklaces.
Behind Quavo are members of the Maverick City Music choir, who stand in front of a projection of Migos members’ memories and images of the late artist. At the start of the show, the chorus fell silent as the 31-year-old sang the beautiful lyrics of “Without You,” noting that her days just aren’t the same without Takeoff.
As the song picked up steam, the “WORKIN ME” rapper removed his stool to continue his performance. Following his lead, members of the Maverick City Music choir put Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa’s hit “See You Again” to music.
This unexpected mix gave the audience goosebumps as both songs displayed a strong message of sadness. Quavo ended his amazing performance by lifting Takeoff’s chain off the mic stand and flashing it to the audience.
Even with half his face covered, the heartbroken rapper could barely hide his pain. However, he did not give in and completed his deed without tears. Instead, fans went wild with the touching tribute.
Following the In Memoriam segment, the hashtag #Quavo #Takeoff #Grammys started trending on Twitter. Thousands shared clips of their favorite moments from the rapper’s performance praising him for his passionate delivery.
“I cried! That was a beautiful tribute. Quavo is so strong to do that tribute,” one female fan wailed on Twitter. This seemed to be the general sentiment as another fan wrote, “I CAN’T HANDLE THIS WITH QUAVO!!! “
A third fan stated that they couldn’t stop their waterworks after watching the rapper hold his niece’s necklace. “QUAVO HOLDS A CHAIN THROUGH ME CRYING,” the social media user confessed.
