Takeoff, member of platinum selling hip-hop trio Migos, was killed during a shooting at a Houston bowling alley. He was attending a private party at the bowling alley with his bandmate and uncle, Quavo. It is reported that a large group of people were gathered outside the building when the party ended, and an argument took place which resulted in the shooting.
Houston police confirmed in a news conference that Takeoff, born Kirshnik Khari Ball, was confirmed deceased at the scene, and two other people were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. They confirmed that there were over 40 witnesses, many of which fled the scene following the shooting. A suspect has yet to be named or described, and it is unknown whether Takeoff was the intended target of the shooting.
The hip-hop community and other figures have reacted following the tragic news, and many artists have taken to social media to pay tribute to the rapper, who contributed greatly to the hip-hop world in the last decade, releasing some of its biggest hits such as, “Bad and Boujee,” “Walk It Talk It,” “Stir Fry,” and “MotorSport.”
Fellow rapper Lecrae tweeted, “No hot takes. No profound thoughts. Just sad that another rapper, son, brother, and friend has been killed. God be with all those who feel the loss.”
