Twenty-eight year old Kirsnick Khari Ball, best known in the international entertainment world as Takeoff, was laid to rest on Friday, November 11th.
The homegoing ceremony took place at the State Farm Arena in the rapper’s hometown, Atlanta.

Scores of fans filled the arena to remember the life of one third of the Migos group who, most if not all would agree, was taken from the earth too soon. Speaking at the ceremony, cousin and fellow rapper, Offset said, “[Takeoff] changed the culture of music forever. Lord, give us some strength. Just give us some strength… I don’t want to question you God, but I just don’t get it. I don’t get you sometimes. And I believe in you, Father,” all as he fought the tears.

On Instagram in the aftermath of the funeral, Cardi B finally broke her silence. Undoubtedly distressed by the sudden death of the Migos rapper, she wrote, “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.”

Takeoff was killed in a shooting at 810 Billiards and Bowling in Houston, Texas in the wee hours of the morning on November 1st.

Police are yet to make an arrest following the incident.

One ‘Drink Champs’ appearance has landed internationally acclaimed dancehall artiste, Beenie Man, in hot water. The ‘Gyal Dem Sugar’ singer appeared on the popular US platform recently, after returning to the US after many years, having been previously barred from entry.

”I love Trinidad. I love Trinidad but dog don’t eat doubles. I don’t eat anything that dog don’t eat,” he told hosts Nore and DJ EFN. The duo had asked the entertainer whether he ate the Trinidad and Tobago delicacy. He went on to say that while the popular street food is nice, and he’s had it a couple times, even outlining the ‘triples’ version, he said he would not eat it because if it’s thrown to the dogs, they refuse to eat it.

Today, in a swift denouncement of an artiste that has been on many stages in T&T for decades, the people of Trinidad and Tobago have demanded an apology. On popular radio station, Vibe CT 105FM, hosts Ken Simmons and George Gonzales debated the matter, George calling for DJs to desist from playing the artiste’s music until a proper apology is received. Many callers echoed his sentiments.
