Drake was scheduled to perform at The Apollo Show this weekend but has canceled the show in order to join Takeoff’s family and friends in order to honor the late rapper. Drake communicated on his Instagram page Monday (November 7) that the show has been moved to December 6, and date 7 has been added “for the fans.”
“The Apollo show has been moved to allow us to pay respect to our dear friend this weekend. We have added a second date for the fans,” Drizzy wrote on IG stories.
Takeoff’s funeral will be held on Friday (November 11), at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Take was tragically shot and killed at a bowling alley in Houston at the top of the month.
Offset is mourning the death of his Migos partner, Takeoff, who was killed in a shooting in Houston Tuesday (November 1). On Wednesday morning, Set changed his Instagram profile pic to Take’s photo of him rocking a bright smile.
The “54321” artist hasn’t posted anything about Take’s death, so has Quavo. Per TMZ, Offset was scheduled to perform at MGM Music in Boston tomorrow (November 3), but will not show up. The event will still happen without Set however.
New footage emerged on Wednesday showing a person of interest firing his gun. The video doesn’t prove the unidentified man fired the initial shots in the shootout that left Takeoff lying lifeless on the floor.
The footage doesn’t reveal if the gunman fired the fatal shots
The hip-hop fraternity is still dealing with the loss of the one third of Migos, Takeoff, who was gunned down in Houston, Texas, early Tuesday (November 1). TMZ released new footage on Wednesday showing an armed man in black, who was standing a few feet from Quavo and Takeoff firing his gun.
The unidentified person, who’s been named as a person of interest by Houston cops, can be seen resting his hand on a gun in his right pocket. Seconds later, the person is seen raising his weapon right after Quay gets behind him. The tape doesn’t show if the person let off the first shot.
The late rapper was fatally struck after a heated argument erupted between Quavo and another person. It’s said Take was accidentally hit in the head and died on the scene.
Quavo is confident about the future of Unc. & Nephew duo
The hip-hop community is still processing Atlanta trio Migos’ split, which saw Offset going his separate way leaving Quavo and Takeoff as a duo. Apparently, possibilities are very low that the group will ever reunite.
Quavo and Takeoff pulled up on Revolt’s Drink Champs last week where they talked about their future as a group. During the interview, N.O.R.E asked if “there will be a Migos reunion eventually,” to which Quavo replied, “well, no. I don’t think so.”
“Right now I believe in the duo, you know what I’m saying?” He added. “Like you just said, you play the game by loyalty. You just stand on loyalty. Like we said, like I said in songs and everything, we stand on motherf**king loyalty. This is about us and shit. When things ain’t right sometimes you gotta goddamn move on, you know what I’m saying? When ego sometimes, when everything getting in the way. Sometimes you gotta sit back and watch what’s going on, just see what’s wrong.”

Quavo also weighed in on Offset filling a lawsuit against Quality Control, saying he wouldn’t do the same since the label founders Pee and Couch changed his life, and Takeoff immediately backed him.
“At the end of the day, n*ggas got problems that they need to fix. You still ain’t gotta do no lawsuits you know. Pee and Couch they changed my life,” Quay said before Takeoff reinstated, “fasho fasho, I love em to death.”

Quavo and Takeoff sat for an interview on Revolt’s Big Facts podcast on Monday (October 3) where they opened up about separating with Offset. “We want to see our career as a duo,” Quavo said. “Because we came from a loyal family thats supposed to work together. And sometime when sh**t don’t work out, its not meant to be.”
Takeoff added, “We don’t know all the answers. God know. We pray a lot so only time will tell. Aint nothing got change.” Quavo later chimed in sharing, “We stand on loyalty. And sometimes that sh** ain’t displayed. Right now we gon’ be the duo till time tell.”
