Several fans poured in their condolences for the promising rapper, who is no more. 

A journey that was set for a Takeoff

Gone too soon! This is probably how fans describe his sudden departure. The young rapper was born in Lawrenceville, Georgia, in 1994. He began his passionate career at a young age. In 2008, Takeoff, his cousin Offset, and Quavo, began rapping under the collective name Polo Club. 

The terrific trio released Juug Season, their debut mixtape as the Migos in 2011. In 2013, the trio came out with Versace, their first mainstream hit. However, they are best known for their Lil Uzi Vert collaboration, a major success.

Meanwhile, Saints RB Alvin Kamara also wrote a post in memory of Takeoff. Kamara, a Georgia native, added in a tweet, “RIP bra.”
