Rapper Cardi B has taken to her Instagram page to write a heartbreaking tribute to her late colleague, Takeoff, following his tragic demise.
Takeoff was shot many times on November 1st while he was out with Quavo, and he was pronounced dead shortly after that. Cardi B paid respect to the rapper on Instagram after his memorial ceremony and shared her sorrow over his premature passing.
“Takeoff your untimely passing has brought a great deal of pain and sorrow to so many lives. The impact you had in this world was so considerable and we have struggled to grasp this tragedy. I am heartbroken but I am grateful for all the precious memories we got to share while you were here with us. This has truly been a nightmare and the pain is incomparable. The emptiness your brothers are feeling is unbearable and I pray that you give Offset ,Quavo, and your friends and family the strength to keep going as they are trying to cope with this loss. I believe that angels send signs and beautiful dreams to loved ones to assure them that they’re watching them and they’re okay and happy…send your mom some of those . As a Migos fan it hurts me to look at pictures and videos of y’all together, and hearing y’all songs that changed the music industry and moved the culture and had the clubs lit . It hurts because I know it will never be the same again—but I know your bros and y’all fans will make sure the world never forgets the impact you made. I will remember your remarkable talent and your dope ass personality. I pray that you are at peace and in paradise because you deserve every bit of it. I know God opened the heavenly gates for you with a warm embrace. Rest in power TakeOff I will also love you 4L & after”, she wrote.
Aside from Cardi B, other artists spoke out about the deceased. According to TMZ, Drake delivered an emotional eulogy, comparing himself and Migos to the Rat Pack. Meanwhile, top stars including Justin Bieber and Chloe Bailey delivered musical performances in Takeoff’s memory.
