<p>&#8220;Quavo dominates in a whole lot of things, basketball, all of this,&#8221; Shawty said while on the <em>Ugly Money</em> podcast. &#8220;So, they say they had been shooting basketball earlier, and then they got to the bowling alley, and they said<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/617382-waka-flocka-flame-reflects-on-takeoffs-death-with-shannon-sharpe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> there was a dice game</a>. And they say that Quavo noticed that the dice were not right, and that&#8217;s where the argument started.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;Quavo—Everybody know Quavo got a mouth. Everybody know Quavo talked junk. I don&#8217;t think that was the atmosphere to talk sh*t. You got to respect.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;When you make it to a certain point—God took you past that point so you don&#8217;t fall backwards.&#8221; He added that even he doesn&#8217;t do shows in &#8220;certain hoods&#8221; because he doesn&#8217;t want &#8220;the same hod that I got out of, snatch me back.&#8221;</p>

<p>Investigators say Takeoff was an innocent bystander who was killed during a verbal altercation. The unproblematic rapper continues to be grieved by fans and loved ones.</p>
