Takeoff's death has literally and figuratively rocked and crushed the hip-hop community. With his unfortunate passing, many had flocked to remember the young rapper's albeit short but meaningful legacy when he was still alive.

Formally known as Kirshnik Khari Ball, Takeoff was fatally shot after a violent altercation turned bloody in a bowling and billiard alley in Houston, Texas, last Nov. 1, 2022.

Since his passing, many have given attention to the rather unpopular member (compared to Migos and Offset) of the Atlanta trio Migos.

For context, Takeoff is the youngest among the three. Quavo is the oldest, being 31; offset trails behind at 30, while Takeoff is the youngest.

According to HipHopDX, many gave more notice of Takeoff's passing. In a screenshot, the media outlet has compared Takeoff's Instagram follower count before his passing with today's stats.

Days ago, his follower count was only at 7.7 million. Not more than three days after, almost a million were added - bringing the total count to 8.5 million.

As of this writing, it's a hundred thousand away, as it has already breached 8.6 million.

Upon checking his posts, many of his fans were heartbroken about his death.

"Really don't understand WHY we keep doin this. Rest Easy bro, u was one of the chillest around . Prayers for ur family," a fan shared.

"Bro you was so laid back gang you didn't deserve none of that bro I just talked to you bro. That shit hurt," another commented.

"It's so sad and eerie when someone passes away and their story is still up..crazy how life can be taken away so fast. Rest In Peace Takeoff," one user pointed out.

Takeoff's cause of death was already revealed. According to Billboard, the Harris County coroner's office has confirmed that Takeoff died of "penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm."

US Weekly-exclusively obtained documents say that the rapper's death has been ruled a homicide, but it did not disclose how many gunshot wounds the rapper sustained during the senseless shootout.

Meanwhile, Houston Police District is confident that someone already knows who the suspect is. A TMZ video shows that the suspect was seen standing near Takeoff moments before the altercation transpired.

However, the suspect in the murder of Takeoff remains at large as of this writing.
