In yet another instance of life’s unpredictability, the youngest member of the hip-hop trio Migos, Takeoff, is dead at merely 28. After giving quite a few bangers in an albeit short span of time, the rapper became the victim of an untimely death. His uncle and the senior-most member of Migos, Quavo, was with the late rapper, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, during his last moments. The circumstances of his death are rather chaotic and leave a lot of questions in the air.

Suddenly, it got violent when someone opened fire and shot Takeoff. It is uncertain where exactly the rapper was shot but it was somewhere near his head or the head itself, which led to instant death.

An exclusive footage of the scene outsourced by TMZ shows Takeoff ‘s dead body with other people around, including Quavo (orange shirt), with everyone trying to move the corpse first and then giving up, as Quavo shouts asking for help.
According to the police, 2 others were injured and taken to the hospital, however, their conditions are not known. Quavo remained unharmed throughout the debacle.
The young rapper had posted a selfie clicked at the bowling alley, only a few hours before his death. How fickle is life…
Fans are quite shocked, and the surprise is just as much about the untimely death of the young talent as it is about the unpredictability of the circumstances under which he died.
This is sad news truly but y'all need to stop killing each other especially over NOTHING and then maybe some of your favs could live past the age of 30. RIP Takeoff, rest well.
