Takeoff, who was one third of the platinum-selling rap group Migos, was shot and killed early Tuesday in Houston,Texas, a source close to the group confirmed to CNN. He was 28.
He was 28. Houston police say they responded to the scene of a shooting in downtown Houston in the early morning hours. One person was found dead, according to a tweet from the department. Two other victims were taken in private vehicles to hospitals, police said. Born in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Takeoff began performing with his uncle and fellow rapper Quavo, along with Offset, as Migos in 2008. The trio found fame with their 2013 single, “Versace.
” The song got an even bigger boost after “Atlanta” creator and star Donald Glover name-dropped the single during an acceptance speech at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards. “I really wanna thank the Migos, not for being in the show, but for making ‘Bad and Boujee,’” Glover said at the time. “Like that’s the best song ever.” Takeoff and Quavo recently formed the duo “Unc & Phew” and released their debut album, “Only Built for Infinity Links,” on October 7.
