Takeoff’s Funeral Will Be Held At Atlanta’s State Farm Arena On Friday
The funeral arrangements for Takeoff, one-third of the Grammy-nominated group Migos, have been released.
According to reports, late Migos rapper Takeoff’s funeral will be held on Friday, November 11 at 1 p.m. at State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta. The metro Atlanta-raised rapper will be laid to rest at the venue, which is home to the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and has the capacity to host more than 20,000 people.
Rev. Jesse Curney, III of New Mercies Christian Church will be officiating the services. In a statement, Rev. Curney said,
“I was really sad to hear the news. Kirsnick has been a faithful member since he was ten years old. He and his family were active and avid supporters of the church and the community as a whole.”
As you may already know, Takeoff, born Kirshnik Khari Ball, was fatally shot at a bowling alley in Houston, Texas on Tuesday morning (November 1). The Harris County Medical Examiner listed the 28-year-old’s primary cause of death as:
“Penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm.”
Cops are investigating the alleged argument that resulted in the fatal shooting of Takeoff.
According to reports, law enforcement has informed the public about a heated argument between Migos member Quavo and others amid losing a dice game at 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston.
Sources state that the men took the argument outside and eventually went back and forth over who could beat who at a basketball game. A viral video surfaced in which you can hear Quavo, Takeoff’s family member/groupmate, seemingly frustrated as he stated,
“Man I don’t care about no basketball bruh. They play basketball y’all saw me play basketball. Y’all n*gg*s – in the gym bruh. Don’t play like that bruh.”
Walking away from the argument, Quavo added,
“Aye let’s go bruh. I ain’t finna do this sh*t – I’m finna hurt somebody bruh.”

Shortly after, the video shows people running as multiple shots were fired. Three people, including Takeoff, were hit during the shooting. No arrests have been made, however, police are looking for the person of interest who is allegedly seen on video holding and then raising his gun.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the family and loved ones of Takeoff.
