Born Kirshnik Khari Ball, Takeoff shot to stardom alongside Offset and Quavo as the trio Migos. The trap rappers scored hits like "Fight Night" and "Bad and Boujee" and countless guest appearances. Takeoff's killing led to widespread grief and outrage from notable rappers.
"I’m devastated…. way too young and too dope, my condolences goes out to his family I am absolutely crushed," Scarface wrote on Twitter. Ja Rule also mourned the loss, writing, "Rip Takeoff… this shit has to STOP… sending love to friends and family."
T-Mo of Goodie Mob echoed the sentiment, wondering what kind of times we're living in, and calling the killing "disgusting." "I'm just sad bro," he captioned his IG video. Master P shared his thoughts in an especially poignant video, captioning his post with "Hip-Hop is dying too young." "We gotta move differently," he said in the video, "don't be afraid to hire police details to get you home."
