Breaking Migos rapper takeoff 28 shot in Houston

When was the Migos rapper takeoff shot?

Takeoff, the third member of Migos alongside the rappers Quavo and Offset, has died. The 28-year-old rapper, real name Kirshnik Khari Ball, was fatally shot. TakeOff and Quavo of the Atlanta-based rap trio were at a private party at the 810 Billiards and Bowling Alley police said. Two other people on the premises were shot and taken to hospital while Quavo was unharmed. TMZ first reported the news, which was later confirmed by a local Houston outlet, this morning (1 November).

Just a couple of hours before the shooting, Takeoff posted a pic of himself lighting up at the bowling alley. Quavo had posted a video several hours earlier as he drove around Houston with Jas Prince, who was celebrating his birthday.

Ja Rule, Kid Cudi, Khalid, and Dave posted tributes on social media, while Rick Ross called him a “young legend”.

Migos was one of the most influential groups of their generation, pioneering a style of rapping in choppy, staccato triplets known as the “Migos flow”.

The band, who split earlier this year, scored several international hits including Bad and Boujee, Versace, and Walk It Talk It.
