Quavo is teaming up with the Legends brand for the Rocket Fairfax Hoodie, a new sweatshirt released in honor of Takeoff, who was shot and killed in Houston last year.

Quavo took to Instagram on Friday to announce the news. All proceeds for the hoodie, which retails for $140, will be donated to TakeOff’s Rocket Foundation, which was established shortly after the rapper’s tragic death.

“STRONGEST LINK IN THE WORLD #OBFIL @legends limited edition Rocket Hoodie,” Quavo captioned his post. “All proceeds benefiting The Rocket Foundation. Takeoff Forever.”

“The Foundation’s mission is to invest in and elevate proven community violence interventions and positive alternatives for young people and build a platform for influential leaders to fight against daily violence in our cities and neighborhoods,” Quavo said. “The Rocket Foundation has made investments in four powerful initiatives: Community Justice Action Fund, Hope Hustlers, Live Free, and the Offenders Alumni Association. We believe these groups will help interrupt the cycle of violence in Atlanta and put young people on a positive trajectory.”

Earlier this week, Offset honored Takeoff with a new tattoo that he unveiled on Instagram. 

“Love you 4L & after,” Offset captioned his post alongside a rocket, heart, and dove emoji.
