Rich The Kid Honored Late Migos Member Takeoff With A Permanent Tribute: A New Tattoo In His Memory

February 1 will mark three months since Takeoff was fatally shot outside of 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston, where he attended a private event with Quavo. But regardless of how much time passes, Rich The Kid has ensured he will never forget Takeoff.

Tattoo MF Red has posted video of him inking Rich The Kid with a simple yet powerful tattoo: “Takeoff” is written on the outside of Rich The Kid’s hand.

According to TMZ, the tattoo appointment happened in Tampa, Florida and only took 30 minutes. Rich The Kid squeezed it in between a recording session and a scheduled radio interview.

Takeoff was best known as one-third of Migos — alongside Quavo and Offset — but the 28-year-old beloved Atlanta rapper and Quavo had released their joint album Only Built For Infinity Links less than a month before Takeoff’s tragic passing.

When news broke on November 1, Rich The Kid took to Instagram to express his grief:

“Today I lost more than a brother,” he wrote. “My twin my best friend everything. I don’t wanna believe it I can’t. The most humble person I know we used to share shoes & clothes before we made it with no problem! I miss you already you didn’t deserve that!! I can’t stop crying I love you so much bro forever.”

Takeoff and Rich The Kid dropped their joint “Crypto” single in March 2022. It was far from the first time they collaborated. As noted by Billboard, Rich The Kid met Migos in 2012 and featured on their 2013 track “Jumpin’ Like Jordan.” Takeoff hopped on Rich The Kid songs like “Trap-A-Holics” in 2013 or “Rockets” in 2019. Quavo and Takeoff also featured on Rich The Kid’s “Too Blessed” in 2020.

Woman Shot When Takeoff Died Speaks Out For The First Time

A 24-year-old woman victim of the shooting that killed Takeoff’s murder spoke out for the first time in an interview with KHOU 11.

Sydney Leday was a second victim who sustained injuries during the tragic Houston evening that left Takeoff dead. Leday explained that she just celebrated her birthday and had a night out with her friends to celebrate the occasion, as well as Halloween.

She explained that she previously lived in Los Angeles so she wasn’t starstruck by the presence of Quavo and Takeoff. Leday said that they went to the bowling alley around 12 a.m. She described things as relatively normal until around 2 a.m. when the event was about to shut down.

“That’s when I knew something was wrong after the fact,” she said. “Because I thought these people that were arguing was just playing, like I said, the energy that was in the room before everybody around the table playing a game of dice. I just thought it was friendly banter.”

However, she suspected that there was something wrong due to Quavo’s attitude at the time.

“So I noticed something was wrong whenever I noticed [Quavo] was really upset and he was finna leave,” she said. “The party wasn’t going to keep going on.”

She explained that she tried to run when shots rang out, though she wasn’t able to get far. Leday explained that she fell and felt a stinging in the back of her head but managed to get down an escalator and into a car. From there, her friend drove her to the Memorial Hermann Hospital, which was 12 minutes away.

We’ll keep you posted on anymore developments in the case.
