R.I.P. Takeoff.
Takeoff, one-third of the rap group Migos was fatally shot in Houston. He was 28.
TMZ reports the incident happened early Tuesday morning (Nov. 1) at the bowling alley 810 Billiards & Bowling in downtown Houston.
Houston police reports Takeoff and Quavo were playing dice on the third floor of the alley, when an altercation broke out and someone opened fire. Takeoff was struck in or near the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other individuals were shot and transported to the hospital. Quavo was unharmed.
Born Kirsnik Khari Ball, Takeoff was the youngest member of the multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated rap group, Migos, who released the Culture III last year. The Atlanta rapper released his solo album, The Last Rocket back in 2018. After disbanding the Migos this year, Takeoff and Quavo appeared on the Rap Radar Podcast and soon released their collaborative album, Only Built For Infinity Links. The duo just released the album’s latest video, “Messy“.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Takeoff’s family and friends.
