Takeoff, member of the prolific Rap trio, Migos, is no longer with us. He died in Houston on Tuesday, November 1, 2022. Reports are Takeoff was at a bowling alley in Houston, USA, on or about 2:30 am when he got shot. His real name was Kirsnik Khari Ball. He was 28. The Houston Police have confirmed the shooting and stated that two other persons got shot in the incident.
Takeoff began rapping with Quavo and Offset (his uncle and cousin, respectively) in 2008 under the name Polo Club. They eventually changed their moniker to Migos, releasing a debut mixtape, Juug Season, in 2011.
Takeoff was born June 18, 1994, and grew up in the Atlanta suburbs of Gwinnett County. He spent much of his childhood with Quavo and Offset, the three of them even living together for many years in the same small house with Quavo’s mother. He was fan of professional wrestling from a young age. At one point Takeoff convinced the other two to help him turn the backyard trampoline into a makeshift ring.
