Migos: Takeoff shot dead in Houston

According to TMZ, Takeoff, who was a rapper in the group Migos with Quavo and Offset, has passed away.

Around 2:30AM Houston time, the 28-year-old rapper, real name Kirshnik Khari Ball, was shot and killed while playing dice with Quavo at a Houston bowling alley.

Takeoff was pronounced dead at the scene. Two further visitors were shot on the property and sent to the hospital. Quavo escaped injury.

Friends and admirers of the late rapper paid tribute to him on Twitter. Boxer Chris Eubank Jr. stated, “I remember Takeoff being a very down to earth, cool man. I can’t believe I have to repeat this, but something needs to happen in the industry since another young black celebrity was murdered without cause.

In 1994, Takeoff was conceived in Lawrenceville, Georgia. In 2008, he started rapping alongside Quavo and Offset, who were his uncle and cousin, as the group Polo Club. The group’s debut mixtape as Migos, Juug Season, was released in 2011.

Versace, the group Migos’ first widely popular track, was released in 2013. Known for popularizing the triplet flow—Migos’ trademark rapid-fire cadence—in modern rap, the song was later remixed by Toronto rapper Drake, who would later develop a close friendship with all three group members.

Migos are best known for their 2016 Lil Uzi Vert collaboration Bad and Boujee, which peaked at No 1 in the US, as well as top 10 hits MotorSport, with Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, and Walk It Talk It, with Drake. As a solo artist, Takeoff released one album – 2018’s The Last Rocket, which debuted at No 4 in the US – and one collaborative record, last month’s Only Built for Infinity Links, with Quavo.
