🕊️ says he’s grateful that fans continue to keep ’s name and music alive. 💙

Speaking about the renewed attention around “Hotel Lobby,” Quavo reflected on how the 2022 song has found a new audience through AI-generated videos featuring Takeoff. While seeing his brother’s image in that way can bring emotional moments, Quavo also sees it as a sign that people still connect with Takeoff and the music they made together. 🙏

“Hotel Lobby” was released as a duo single before Takeoff’s passing later that year, and its continued reach is another reminder of the lasting impact of his music. 🕊️🎤

Takeoff’s legacy continues to live through the music. ❤️
