Shortly after Migos member Takeoff was killed in Houston last October, The Rocket Foundation was established in honor of the rapper. The organization supports programs saving lives through community-based solutions proven to prevent gun violence. According to Hypebeast, a limited-edition hoodie is being sold to benefit The Rocket Foundation and a celebrity football game is planned in honor of Takeoff.
Quavo, who was with Takeoff the night he was slain, is collaborating with the clothing brand, Legends to commemorate the deceased rapper with a limited-edition hoodie.
