Twista Donating Auction Proceeds to Honor Takeoff

Twista To Donate Auction Proceeds In Honor of Takeoff

Published Tue, November 8, 2022 at 2:25 PM EST

Kirpa Auctions recently announced that Twista is donating a portion of the proceeds of his Kirpa Auction sales to The Quavo Cares Foundation.

The auction, which closes at 12:00 PM EST on November 13, includes his 2004 Vibe Award for Best Comeback, his vest from his "Hope" performance with Faith Evans, a four-piece set of grillz, a custom leather from his MTV performance with Kanye West and a vest from his "DJ Play A Love Song" video with Jamie Foxx.

"These are full grillz with the diamonds still in 'em," Twista explained about the grillz up for auction. "I remember when I got 'em done in Texas — definitely five figures. This is a big piece of me right here because this was in my mouth when I was spittin' lyrics." Twista collaborated with Takeoff and the Migos on 2013's "Remix".

The Chicago rapper also revealed recently that he is getting serious about a longtime hobby. In a recent Rolling Stone interview he explained that he developed an interest in magic and ventriloquism around the age of ten, inspired partly by 1978's Magic, and performed tricks on the side until his rap career blew up.

"If we were on tour and we went into a gas station and they had a little puppet in there, I'm grabbing it," the "Adrenaline Rush" rapper said. "I'm amazing the homies, I'm doing something for the people in the store. It's always something that I've done naturally if I come across a puppet or doll." Twista recently had a look-a-like puppet of himself made which he calls Lil Twista and he has an interest in performing for kids and even embarking on his own Las Vegas show. "I have a passion for making people happy," he said.
