Popular rapper Takeoff’s funeral is scheduled to be held on November 11. The venue for the funeral will be Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people.
New Mercies Christian Church pastor Jesse Curney III will officiate the service and provide the eulogy. Atlanta radio station V-103 reported that the funeral will start at 1 pm Rev. Curney also stated:
“I was really sad to hear the news. Kirsnick has been a faithful member since he was ten years old. He and his family were active and avid supporters of the church and the community as a whole.”
Following the announcement of the funeral arrangements, Drake postponed a special show, which was to be held at the Apollo in New York. He revealed the same in an Instagram Story on November 7.
Takeoff was shot dead on November 1, 2022
Takeoff was gunned down on November 1, 2022, at the 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston, Texas. KHOU-11 TV reported that the rapper, along with 40 others, arrived at the spot following a private party at around 11 am.
The singer’s uncle, Quavo, was also present at the scene, but he was not injured. The late Migos member shared a video prior to the incident where he was driving around Houston with James Prince Jr on the occasion of the latter’s birthday.
Reports say that there was an argument during a dice game when Quavo’s pockets became empty at one point. Quavo reacted aggressively with a group of people, after which someone from the other side reacted and shots were fired, which continued for some time.
Also known as Kirshnik Khari Ball, Takeoff was killed in all the chaos and according to Houston police chief Troy Finner, he was not a target. The cops arrived at the location at around 2.40 am, and the rapper was announced dead on the spot.
Two more individuals were also injured and were taken to the hospital in private vehicles. Quavo’s assistant Joshua Washington was also injured alongside a 23-year-old woman, whose identity remains unknown.
