Offset Opens Up About “Fake Smiling” After Takeoff’s Death

by

It’s been nearly two months since the world lost Takeoff in a fatal shooting, and his death is understandably still affecting his cousin and fellow Migos member Offset. 

In a tweet posted Wednesday (Dec. 21), he shared that it’s not easy putting on a fake smile while continuing to deal with grief.

Also sharing a throwback photo of Takeoff performing onstage, the “Clout” rapper penned, “S**t not easy fake smiling and s**t tryna keep walking with my head up.”

Earlier this month, Offset said on social media that he was “in a dark place.” He also shared artwork featuring Takeoff, revealing, “I miss you bra tryna push through the pain.”

Cardi B recently got vulnerable about her husband’s grieving process. According to People, she shared in a deleted Twitter post, “We living our life normally, but deep down inside our hearts have been so heavy.”

“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,’” she continued. “And we don’t want no sympathy. We ain’t no charity case. But no lie, I have been feeling so hopeless trying to make my husband happy.”

Takeoff died at age 28 after suffering gunshot wounds to his “head and torso” on Nov. 1. He was outside of a Houston area bowling alley when the shooting occurred, with Quavo also at the scene.

Patrick Clark, who allegedly pulled the trigger, has since been taken into custody and charged with Takeoff’s murder. As HotNewHipHop previously reported, Clark’s lawyer announced that he may use a self-defense claim.

Drake, Quavo, Offset, And More Rappers Are Listed As Potential Witnesses In The XXXTentacion Murder Trial

Although four men were charged with rapper XXXTentacion’s 2018 murder, one of their defense attorneys, Mauricio Padilla, might be calling a list of famous names as potential witnesses. Drake, Quavo, Offset, Tekashi 6ix9ine, Joe Budden, and more were included in the official court filing.

The move, according to Billboard, comes because of XXX’s apparent beef with Drake in 2017, after believing the Canadian rapper stole the style for his song “KMT.” Even more eerily, four months before X’s death, he posted “If anyone tries to kill me it was @champagnepapi,” to his IG story — before claiming he was hacked. It’s still unclear what the rest did.

“They are high-profile people. And it’s not easy for me to subpoena. I don’t have numbers, but it doesn’t mean I won’t be able to,” Padilla said. “Trying to subpoena Drake is not easy — you need a drone.”

“It is apparent from the deliberate, late disclosure of the defendant’s witnesses and comments made between the parties that [the] defendant intended to ‘surprise’ the state and create a trial by ambush,” the prosecutor Pascale Achille shared, according to the Miami Herald.

However, before Drake and other big rap names would be required to actually show up to testify in court, Padilla has to provide relevance to the witness list and claims — which hasn’t happened yet.

The last couple months of 2022 have not been easy for Offset: On November 1, cousin fellow Migos member Takeoff was fatally shot. Understandably, it appears that Offset has had a hard time coping with the loss. A few weeks after Takeoff’s passing, Cardi B wrote of Offset, “We living our life normally, but deep down inside, our hearts have been so heavy.

Offset is officially 31 years old today (December 14). The rapper isn’t holding back in his celebrations this year.

Making the trip to Jamaica, the Migos member was spotted with his wifey Cardi B, his sister-in-law Hennessy and a number of family and friends.

In video footage, Offset and crew are seen taking shots, dancing the night away and dining at the Lobster Dave Seafood Restaurant and Sports Bar in Ocho Rios.

It’s certainly nice to see the Migos member smiling and enjoying himself again. In November, he tragically lost his cousin and fellow Migos member, Takeoff. The “Casper” rapper was shot and killed stemming from an altercation at a private event in Houston.

Offset took to Twitter last week, sharing his difficulties in grieving his loss. “In a dark place,” he wrote.

The late Migos member’s first posthumous verse subsequently arrived only a month after his passing. Appearing alongside A$AP Rocky, he contributes to Metro Boomin’s sophomore album, HEROES & VILLAINS with some entertaining alphabet wordplay.

On “Feel The Fiyaaaah,” Take shows off his charisma while adhering to an alphabet rhyme scheme throughout his verse. “Like the letter after A / I bought my b*tch a new C / Then I took her to the D,” he raps, before running through the rest of the alphabet.

Further proving that he was a beloved member of the hip-hop community, 21 Savage also recently reflected on how much he misses the “Casper” rapper.

This came after performing alongside his Her Loss collaborator, Drake, in Atlanta earlier this month. Despite the success of the performance, the world was witness to Savage reflecting on missing his brothers.

“Didn’t even feel right without thug and gunna tonight,” he tweeted in reference to his friends who are currently in jail.

“LL Takeoff And Keed,” he continued.

In memory of Takeoff, leave a comment down below with your favorite song from the most underrated Migos member. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.

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.
