The hip-hop community is mourning the tragic loss of one of its biggest stars.
Kirshnik Ball, better known as “Takeoff,” was shot and killed Tuesday morning in Houston, Texas.
Takeoff was one-third of the popular group “Migos” that was formed in Lawrenceville, Ga. He, Quavo (uncle), and Offset (cousin) formed an unstoppable force as a family in 2008 and were active as a group for 14 years. The Migos’ style and hit songs such as “Versace” and “Bad and Boujee” changed the culture of music. Reports have stated that Takeoff was killed during a dice game.
Current and former Alabama players reacted to the news in sadness on social media.
