Takeoff’s real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball. He was born in Lawrenceville, Georgia, in 1994. Starting his career at 14, he collaborated with Quavo and Offset, who also happen to be his uncle and cousin.
Their trio was called Polo Club months before changing it to Migos. “Growing up, I was trying to make it in music. I was grinding, which is just what I loved doing,” Takeoff said in an interview back in 2017.

“Just making something and creating for me… I was getting my own pleasure out of it because it’s what I liked doing. I’d wait for Quavo to get back from football practice, and I’d play my songs for him,” he added. The star gave some of the exceptional compositions that were often listed among the top 5 America’s favorites.
