ATLANTA — The death of Atlanta rapper Takeoff felt almost like losing a family member, fans said. On Friday, many of those still mourning the Migos member lined up early to pay their respects and condemn the gun violence that took his life.
Braving the rain, those who were able to score free tickets arrived well ahead of the noon Celebration of Life service at State Farm Arena. Meanwhile, the investigation into the deadly shooting continued in Houston, where Takeoff was gunned down outside a bowling alley. He was 28.
Qiana Gordon’s three kids grew up listening to Migos, adding that the artists inspired them. Born Kirsnick Khari Ball, Takeoff was remembered for his kindness and humble approach to fans.
