NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Offset has paid wordless tribute to his Migos bandmate and cousin Takeoff by changing his Instagram profile picture, following the rapper’s shock death by shooting on Monday night.
Takeoff, real name Kirshnick Khari Ball, died earlier this week at the age of 28, after an incident at a private party he was enjoying with his uncle and fellow Migos member Quavo, 31, in Houston.
Neither Quavo nor Offset have spoken publicly yet in the aftermath but Offset, 30, used his social media channel to make a statement by swapping out his avatar for a picture of Takeoff smiling with a white heart emoji.
The rapper’s cause of death was confirmed on Wednesday, with to a coroner’s report released by Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences and obtained by Metro.co.uk saying he died of ‘penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into the arm’.
