“That’s when someone opened fire, shooting Takeoff either in the head or near his head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.” 

TMZ went on to report that two others were shot at the scene and have been hospitalised, although their conditions remain unclear but confirmed that Quavo escaped the incident without injury. 

Takeoff is said to have been single and does not leave behind any children.

Just hours before the incident, he posted a selfie onto Instagram from the bowling alley and prior to that had been seen in a video driving around with Jas Prince as the pair celebrated the music executive’s birthday. 

Following the tragic news, several famous faces took to social media to pay their respects to the Last Memory hitmaker.
