We haven’t heard much from the authorities about the murder of Takeoff, but his loved ones continue to speak out. The beloved rapper was shot and killed during a private get-together in Houston with Quavo by his side. He was said to be with J. Prince Jr. when a verbal disagreement turned violent. Takeoff wasn’t involved in the chaos and, sadly, was an innocent bystander who was hit by a stray bullet.
Private and public memorials for Takeoff have already been held, and slowly, several in the late rapper’s inner circle have come forward. Both Quavo and Cardi B issued emotional tributes on social media, and now, Offset has emerged.
“The pain you have left me with in unbearable,” the message reads. “My heart is shattered and I have so many things to say, but I can’t find the words.”
“I’ve been going to sleep and waking up hoping that all of this is a dream, but it’s reality, and reality feels like a nightmare. Every time you would see me, you didn’t give me a dap you gave me a hug. I wish I could hug you one last time. Laugh one last time. Smoke on last time. Perform one last time.”
