50 Cent urged Quavo to honor his nephew Takeoff’s legacy after the 28-year-old Migos member was shot and killed.
“This is really how it goes @quavohuncho you have to position this Album correctly for Take Offs Legacy,” the “Candy Shop” rapper wrote via Instagram Wednesday alongside a video of music manager Steven Victor talking about his client Pop Smoke, who also died from gun violence, on the “Out of Office” podcast.
“go make a couple changes and address everything,” 50 Cent, who executive produced Pop Smoke’s posthumous album “Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon,” continued. “all artist [sic] make the best music out of painful moments.”
He concluded the post, “R.I.P to pop smoke 🕊R.I.P to TakeOff.”
The “Power” producer was just one of the many hip-hop stars who were left reeling by news of Takeoff’s death Tuesday at a bowling alley in Houston.

The “Bad and Boujee” rapper’s record label, Quality Control Music, said he was killed by a “stray bullet” in an altercation that escalated at a private party.
A coroner later revealed that Takeoff, whose real name was Kirshnik Khari Ball, had been shot in the head and torso. The manner of death was ruled a homicide.
Quavo, who was also present at the bowling alley at the time, has yet to comment on the fatal incident.
Meanwhile, Offset, the third member of the Grammy-nominated rap group, subtly paid tribute to Takeoff by changing his Instagram profile picture to a photo of his late nephew.

Takeoff wore black sunglasses and smiled in the throwback snap.
Offset, 30, added a white heart emoji in the corner of the photo.
