The rap world was devastated by the tragic death of Takeoff last month when he was shot during a game of dice. The Migos member was only 28 and influenced countless musicians, some of whom have shared tributes for him. On December 2, the rapper’s alleged murderer tried to flee and was subsequently held on a very expensive bail. Now, he’s trying to bring that amount down.

According to TMZ, legal documents say 33-year-old Patrick Xavier Clark filed a motion to bring his $2 million bail all the way down to $100,000. If so, he would live with his parents, wear a GPS monitor, and follow a given curfew. He said he’s also willing to give up his passport, which had been part of his plan to flee to Mexico.

When revealing the news that Clark tried to flee, ABC News shared a report that read, “In requesting the $2 million bond, prosecutors argued that Clark posed a high flight risk because he had purchased tickets to Mexico two days before his arrest and applied for an expedited passport.” The Houston Police held a press conference confirmed that “the investigation is still ongoing” and explained it “was an argument that happened afterwards outside the bowling alley, which led to the shooting.”

Over one month after Takeoff suffered a fatal shooting, fellow Migos member Offset revealed that he’s “in a dark place.” The rapper shared the update on Twitter this past Thursday with his four million followers, also adding a middle finger emoji.

Earlier this week, the “Clout” rapper shared some Takeoff artwork on his social media. Offset mournfully penned on Twitter about his late cousin, “I miss you bra tryna push through the pain.”

Fans quickly flooded his replies, offering support and understanding during the difficult time.

Takeoff unexpectedly lost his life on Nov. 1 after being shot at a bowling alley. An altercation occurred at Houston’s 810 Billiards & Bowling following a dice game, leading to the fired shots. Quavo, his collaborator and uncle, was on the scene at the time of the incident.

The Last Rocket rapper’s funeral took place in Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. The private service brought out a list of stars, including the City Girls, Gucci Mane, Chloe Bailey, and Cardi B. 

According to People, Cardi B opened up about her husband’s grief in a Twitter voice note that has since been deleted. “We living our life normally, but deep down inside our hearts have been so heavy,” she shared with fans.

“I feel like if I talk about the incident so desensitized, I feel like if we talk about how we really feel or what motherf**kers really been going through, y’all will start saying, ‘Oh, sympathy.’ And we don’t want no sympathy,” the Bronx native continued. “We ain’t no charity case. But no lie, I have been feeling so hopeless trying to make my husband happy.”

Offset rapped some of his songs at a Miami nightclub earlier this month, making it his first performance since Takeoff’s recent passing. He reportedly told the crowd at the time, “We’re doing this for my brother. For Takeoff, let’s do this shit.”

An Affidavit Revealed Takeoff’s Alleged Murder Took Place After A Punch Was Thrown In Defense Of Quavo

More details are emerging from the night of Takeoff’s killing. Today, New York Times reporter Joe Coscarelli shared portions of an affidavit he obtained with details of the tragic night.

According to the document, Quavo was playing a game of dice outside of Houston’s 810 Billiards and Bowling Alley. An argument ensued after Quavo allegedly lost a large sum of money to two other individuals who were also playing.

A man evidently named Willie Bland allegedly struck another individual in defense of Quavo, as things began to escalate. According to the affidavit, this was captured by video surveillance footage.

After the alleged punch, two people then exchanged gunfire. One of these people was confirmed to be Bland. Though, Bland’s location at the time of the shooting doesn’t appear to be consistent with the injuries TakeOff suffered, to deem him responsible for the rapper’s death.

Ultimately, the charging of the suspect, Houston rapper Lil Cam, came as a result of fingerprints left on a wine bottle.

As of now, Cam is currently being held on a $2 million bond. During a press conference last week, Sgt. Michael Burrow noted that the investigation into Takeoff’s alleged murder is still ongoing. Burrow’s telling of the events seems to match up with the affidavit.

“The event was a private party,” he said. “There was a lucrative dice game that went on at the event. There was an argument that happened afterwards outside the bowling alley, which led to the shooting. I can tell you that Takeoff was not involved in playing the dice game. He was not involved in the argument that happened outside. He was not armed. He was an innocent bystander.”

Offset’s post comes on the heels of celebrating Takeoff’s life over the weekend. He arrived at Miami’s E11EVEN venue on Thursday with his wife Cardi B before taking the stage to perform some of his biggest hits. The performance marked Offset’s first performance since Take’s passing. He honored his late cousin and bandmate during his Miami show. “We are going to go Takeoff crazy in here tonight. I’m doing this for my brother.” Offset shared before performing Migos hits like “Bad and Boujee” and “Fight Night.” 

Takeoff was shot and killed on November 1 while attending a private dice game in Houston with his Uncle Quavo. 33-year old Patrick Xavier Clark has been arrested and charged with the murder of the young rapper. Clark made his first court appearance on Monday, where he was accused of attempting to flea the country before his arrest. 

However, his lawyers denied the claims, adding that Clark had planned a trip to Mexico before being arrested and charged. Clark was caught on camera shooting his gun in one hand, with a wine bottle in the other hand, outside the 810 Billiards and Bowling Alley the night TakeOff was killed. He is currently being held in police custody with $2 million bond.

Takeoff’s Mother And Father Are Fighting Over His Estate After He Died Without A Will

The tragic killing of Migos’ Takeoff in a Houston bowling alley was a shock to his fans as well as his family. Now, Takeoff, whose real name is Kirsnick Khari Tiquon Ball, is said to have a net worth of $26 million with no heirs.

Takeoff’s mother and father, Titania Davenport-Treet and Kenneth M Ball, are fighting over who will control his estate because without a will to distribute his assets, Georgia law says that his closest relatives now have exclusivity rights over his money and assets, including his valuable catalog and residual income from record sales. This has created a larger wedge between his estranged parents, who reportedly already do not get along.

It is reported that Takeoff was raised in a single parent home by his mother with little assistance from Mr. Ball. Both sides are contesting Mr. Ball’s involvement in his oldest child’s life.

Shortly after Takeoff was murdered, his father posted on FB, “Kirsnick Khari Tiquon Ball my first love out of my five kids this is so so hard please keep Titania Davenport (Treet) and me (Kenneth M Ball) and the entire family on both sides in your prayers doing our difficult time. No one know the pain I’m feeling right now BUT with GOD I will find peace.”
