Following the sudden death of Takeoff earlier this month, his younger brother YRN Lingo opened up about the loss with a social media post on November 29. Lingo took to Instagram to post a letter about Takeoff's death and a few pictures from their childhood.

Lingo started the letter by saying that Takeoff was the only one available in his time of need and recalled the memories from their childhood. Lingo wrote that he and Takeoff were once playing in a room and Takeoff told him that he would give him anything he asked for. He further wrote:

“I hate that I have to move on with my life without you physically here, I wish I could just stop time and wait, but I know that can’t happen. It’s a lot of things I’m going to miss about you, I could name them but it would be a full list and that would take forever.”

YRN Lingo wrote that he would remember Takeoff for the rest of his life and added that the deceased 28-year-old Migos rapper always remained on his own instead of bothering others. Lingo mentioned that things would not remain the same anymore, and he would miss the moments when Takeoff used to call him, and they went out together. He ended his letter by writing:

“I have to live by your book now, think before I speak, love the family before anyone and anything, and most importantly put my faith in God. I will see you again one day in heaven brother along with my great grandma. I’ll take care of Mama and Heaven down here. Take you fulfilled your purpose and more. You will forever remain in my heart, our hearts. Love you big brother always and forever! Love, Lingo.”
