Quavo Explains Turning ‘Tragedy Into Triumph’ With Gun Violence Reform and Working With the White House
Quavo has been named Variety Hitmakers Humanitarian of the Year after working with the White House to enact gun violence reform.
That same month, the rapper, who has been named Variety Hitmakers Humanitarian of the Year, established the Rocket Foundation, an organization dedicated to honoring Takeoff’s legacy and combating the ongoing issue of gun violence in his hometown of Atlanta and beyond. “I felt like it’s a crisis that goes on everywhere, and me being a figure and a person who speaks to the youth, I feel like turning my tragedy into triumph,” explains Quavo, who launched the foundation with a $2 million commitment to invest in community-violence intervention. On a local level, Quavo aided the Atlanta community with the announcement this past March of a Sparks Grants program to award $10,000 to 10 organizations.
