Georgia rapper and one-third of the band Migos, Takeoff, has died according to TMZ. Early this morning tweets and videos leaked with news of the artist passing away in a Houston shooting after a dice game went wrong. “Law enforcement sources, and multiple witnesses, tell us the fatal incident went down shortly after 2:30 AM … that’s when cops got the call for a man shot at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston,” says a TMZ source.
He and another Migos member Quavo were playing dice when an altercation broke out and the Migos member was pronounced dead on the scene.

Takeoff posted a selfie from the bowling alley only hours before the shooting, and Quavo had posted a video earlier that night. The Migos member was the youngest from the trio, Quavo was his uncle, and Cardi B’s husband Offset his cousin. This news has shocked the public and his fans.
RIP Takeoff 💔

November is National Hip Hop History Month. To wake up on Nov. 1 and see that an artist in the genre was shot and killed is horrible. Incredibly sad.
Praying for Takeoff’s family and loved ones this morning. 🙏🏾
