\n\tQuavo<\/a> has been honored as the \u2018Humanitarian of the Year\u2019 at the eighth annual Variety Hitmakers Brunch<\/a>, held on Dec. 7 at Nya Studios in Hollywood. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe accolade recognized the GRAMMY-nominated rapper and philanthropist\u2019s transformative advocacy against gun violence, a mission he embraced following the tragic 2022 loss of his nephew and fellow Migos member<\/a>, Takeoff.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe award was presented by Greg Jackson, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, who praised Quavo\u2019s tireless efforts to combat the epidemic through his Rocket Foundation<\/a>. Launched in November 2022 in Takeoff\u2019s honor, the foundation supports community-based programs addressing gun violence and has grown into a powerful movement for change in just two years.<\/p>\n

\n\tQuavo\u2019s work has impacted communities at both local and federal levels. In March, the Rocket Foundation introduced Sparks Grants, distributing $10,000 each to 10 Atlanta organizations dedicated to creating safer neighborhoods. Over the summer, Quavo partnered with the Offender Alumni Association to host a music education workshop for at-risk youth as part of the Rocket Camp initiative.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the national stage, Quavo\u2019s advocacy contributed to the establishment of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe met with Vice President Kamala Harris during the Congressional Black Caucus legislative conference in September 2023 and hosted the inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit on Gun Violence Prevention in Atlanta earlier this year. Quavo also joined Harris at a rally to promote the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, one of the most comprehensive federal gun control laws in U.S. history.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Rocket Foundation partners with organizations like the Offender Alumni Association, H.O.P.E. Hustlers, Community Justice Action Fund, and LIVE FREE to address gun violence through community-driven solutions.<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond his advocacy, Quavo remains a prominent figure in music and entertainment. As a key member of Migos, he achieved multiple No. 1 hits on the Billboard charts and collaborated with top-tier artists like Justin Bieber, Travis Scott, and Post Malone. <\/p>\n

\n\tHis recent solo ventures include tracks with Lana Del Rey, Peso Pluma, and Lenny Kravitz, showcasing his ability to blend genres while staying true to his Atlanta roots. Quavo\u2019s versatility also extends to acting, with appearances in Atlanta, Black-ish, <\/em>and films like Praise This.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
