Quavo seen in public for the first time since Takeoff’s funeral while shopping at Prada in Beverly Hills before paying tribute to the late Migos member at the Grammys.
Quavo was spotted leaving a Prada store in Beverly Hills on Friday afternoon, apparently marking the first time he’s been seen in public since the funeral of his Migos bandmate Takeoff.
The 31-year-old artist’s outing came just two days before he was due to pay tribute to the slain rapper at the upcoming 65th Grammy Awards ceremony.
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 light blue patterned sweater over a black T-shirt during their outing.
The hitmaker, born Quavious Keyate Marshall, also rocked a pair of black pants and a matching hoodie, as well as a pair of light yellow shoes.

It was announced that the rapper would appear at a tribute to his late nephew during the Grammy Awards earlier this week.
The hitmaker will perform a cover of his tribute song Without You, which is lyrically about the loss of his longtime collaborator.
The rapper will also be joined on stage by the Maverick City Music choir as he performs the song.
Without You was pre-released to the public on January 5, with Quavo announcing its arrival on his various social media accounts.
The rapper also released a music video for the song, in which he is seen smoking what looks like a joint while listening to the song.
The performer was open about his feelings regarding Takeoff’s death in Without You, which featured emotionally vulnerable lines like “tears rolling down my eyes / I can’t tell you how many times I cried.”
The hitmaker continued: “I wish I had a time machine/Just so you can take a walk with me/I miss how you smile at me.”
Quavo also referenced his brief collaboration with Takeoff with the line ‘Unc and Phew to infinity’.
