"Takeoff was the quietest most unproblematic member of Migos and barely in the media's spotlight compared to Offset and Quavo, yeh he still gets shot and killed over a game of dice!?" one angry fan wrote. "Some people just really have no value for life🙄 RIP Takeoff🕊."
prevnextWhen I was a kid, Tupac and Biggie getting shot was a big deal. You didn’t see major stars like that getting shot and killed. Now it’s happening like every other month. I’ve never seen so many major artists get killed like this. And over a dice game?!? Senseless. RIP Takeoff. https://t.co/KjPBYef2Me

"Trouble. Dolph. PNB Rock. Takeoff," one Twitter user wrote. "All within the last year to gun violence. It's really sad and crazy."
prevnextRIP Takeoff. Beyond fucking sad. Feels like every other day we lose one of our brothers. Society continuing to lean on hate and envy. Love those few around you and appreciate life daily. You truly never know when your last day might be!

Offset lost a brother he'll never get to fix things with.
For nothing.
Quavo lost his nephew.
For nothing.
Rap lost a good one.
For nothing.
All this bloodshed.
For nothing.
It'll never make sense.
Never ever.
Rest in Peace.
Prayers to the family of the fallen. pic.twitter.com/6l4PUO2wp1
'Rest in paradise'
Culture reporter Jewel Wicker reacted with an emotional Twitter tribute. "He was 28. Takeoff, the then-kid who convinced his uncle (Quavo) to start rapping then helped change the flow of rap," Wicker wrote. "The undisputed best rapper in Migos (his uncle told me so himself just a few months ago). What a loss."
