Rich Homie Quan’s Dad on Birdman Missing Funeral, Barbershop Shooting, Young Thug & Takeoff’s Estate

In this powerful interview, Rich Homie Quan’s Dad speaks on Birdman skipping the funeral, getting shot 6 times, Young Thug’s silence, and what Takeoff’s death taught him about legacy. He doesn’t hold back — this is one of the realest convos we’ve had on It’s Up There Podcast.

Rich Homie Quan’s Dad finally breaks his silence in this explosive sit-down.
For the first time, he opens up about Birdman missing Quan’s funeral, getting shot 6 times in a barbershop ambush, and the silence from Young Thug and others in the industry.
He speaks on legacy, trauma, and why Takeoff’s tragic estate battle made him take action to protect his son’s kids.

This is more than an interview — it’s a raw look into the real pain behind hip-hop fame, the pressure on Black fathers, and what happens when the industry leaves you behind.

If you rock with the culture, you need to hear this.


🔑 He talks about:
Getting shot six times inside a barbershop and surviving

Birdman not showing up to his son’s funeral — and what that really meant

The “Lifestyle” story with Young Thug and how fast it came together

How the death of Takeoff made him rethink everything about family and money

The people who did step up: Gucci Mane, Shannon Sharpe, and others

Mental health, therapy at 55, and the trauma Black men carry in silence

Why he tells every young rapper: Get a living will. Protect your legacy.

Why the industry only shows love when you’re dead — and how he’s fighting back
