Takeoff, one-third of the Migos group made up of Quavo, his uncle, and Offset, his cousin, has been reported dead. He was 28 years old. The tragic incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, November 1.

According to TMZ, Takeoff was fatally shot in a bowling alley in Houston after a game of dice went very awry. The multiplatinum album rapper was shot in or near his head and was declared dead at the site. Meanwhile, police reports claim at least two others at the game were shot but not fatally as they are currently receiving treatment.

This incident came in the wake of the duo recently dropping a top-charting album, Only Buillt For Infinity Links, and just released the visuals to “Messy” on Monday.

Fans have since tweeted about their disbelief and have extended their condolences to the rapper’s loved ones. British boxer, Chris Eubank Jr, took to Twitter to wish he did not have to talk about “another young black star being killed”.

Another user, @adinross, expressed his shock at the death.

Relationship expert Toni Tones, said:

Devastating news this morning. My thoughts are with Davido and Chioma, as well as Takeoff’s loved ones.’

Before their recent schism, the trio were regular hitmakers. Takeoff joined the group in 2008, when they were still known as the Polo Club. They had middling success until they released their 2013 hit, “Versace”. In 2016, they followed this up with Bad and Boujee, which was a massive commercial success, peaking at number 1 in the US.

Their success came alongside multiple collaborations with many artists, including Drake(Walk It Talk It) and Nicki Minaj (“Motorsport”).

The trio broke off in 2022, with Offset electing to walk alone, while Quavo and Takeoff stayed together.
