Quality Control + Motown Announce Takeoff's Celebration Of Life

Migos member Takeoff was shot and killed at a Houston bowling alley on November 2, adding yet another name to the ever-expanding list of rappers lost to gun violence. As the rap community continues to grieve, Quality Control and Motown Records has announced his celebration of life will take place at The State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Friday (November 11) at 12 p.m. ET. 

Fans can secure a maximum of two free tickets via Ticketmaster but only Georgia residents are eligible. Tickets are non-transferrable and parties must enter the venue together. Takeoff's family asks that in lieu of flowers or gifts, donations should be made to the recently established Rocket Foundation, which aims to support community-based initiatives attempting to prevent gun violence. 

The 28-year-old rapper was attending a private party at 810 Billiards and Bowling in downtown Houston where a fight broke out. Takeoff was struck in the head and torso and died at the scene. Fellow Migos members Quavo and Offset have yet to speak publicly about his death. RAPstation continues to send our condolences to all those who loved him.
