I was in college when Biggie and ‘Pac were killed and thought there was no way we’d ever experience anything remotely close to that again. Now it’s happening so frequently that you barely have time to recover before someone else killed. RIP Takeoff.

Rest in Peace, Takeoff. 28 years old.

Praying for his family, friends, community, and everyone impacted by this loss. It just keeps happening.

No hot takes. No profound thoughts. Just sad that another rapper, son, brother, and friend has been killed. God be with all those who feel the loss. #TakeOff #MIGOS

Just opened up this bird app to news about Takeoff. Too many black men are not living to be “old.”

Rest In Peace to the best rapper in the Migos.

Sad & senseless. He was a bystander & got shot. We gotta do something about everyone & they momma in Texas having guns! Especially reckless folk who can’t simply disagree with people-they have to resort to this! My deepest condolences to the whole family of Takeoff. Gone at 28💔 https://t.co/4ifff7xIYL
