Though Takeoff was the quietest member among the Migos, he was an anchor to the group, from their come-up in Atlanta to world domination. Offset and Quavo previously credited Takeoff for helping create the group's distinct triplet flow that would later shift the tides of hip-hop moving forward.
News of Takeoff's death comes weeks after he and Quavo shared their latest project, Only Built For Infinity Links. The 18-song effort marked Quavo and Takeoff's debut without Offset and was met with rave reviews.
Fans also shared a clip from Quavo and Takeoff's recent appearance on Drink Champs where N.O.R.E. gave Take his flowers for shining on his recent efforts.
"I'm chill. I'm laid back but it's time to pop it. It's time to give me my flowers. I don't want them later on when I ain't here," he said in the clip. Migos were on Drink Champs last week and Takeoff said this

Speechless about Takeoff man he was just on Drink Champs w Quavo and they were so charged up talking about the future, this is sad as shit
— Frazier Tharpe II (@The_SummerMan) November 1, 2022You gotta be a very sick minded individual to see Quavo frantic and mourning over his murdered nephew's body and immediately take out your phone to film it. Takeoff deserved better. This is disgusting.
