28-year-old rapper, Takeoff, reportedly shot dead at a bowling alley in Houston, Texas.
According to TMZ, the fatal incident happened shortly after 2.30 am at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston. This is after the police were notified of a shootout, according to law enforcement sources.
He was 28. Takeoff, the then-kid who convinced his uncle (Quavo) to start rapping then helped change the flow of rap. The undisputed best rapper in Migos (his uncle told me so himself just a few months ago). What a loss.

Migos came into stardom after their 2013 hit ‘Versace’. 2018’s The Last Rocket, which debuted at No. 4 in the US, was Takeoff’s only album. Last month, the duo also released Only Built for Infinity Links with Quavo.
In addition to other significant honors, Migos received a 2018 BET Award for Best Duo/Group. Two of the group’s four studio albums went platinum, topping the charts.

Arguably the best rapper in the group, Takeoff, was also loved for his humor. Offset explained to Rolling Stone in 2018 that his raps are so powerful because “he analyzes a lot.” “He just has power”.
