F***ing crazy man. It’s been bothering me that s*** didn’t have to happen and he was a bystander. I been saying to people if it was beef with someone and they were into it and he died okay. Still tragic but you can kind of see why it went there. Over basketball and Quavo was trying to walk away smfh.

The video shows that MigoBands (@​migobands on Instagram) as a shooter. Not necessarily the one that hit Takeoff, but a shooter. The person that is allegedly him (looks like it to me) can be seen with a gun and upping it later in the video

From what people are saying, MigoBands is Quavo's older brother. We know Takeoff's mom is Quavo's sister, so that would make MigoBands also Takeoff's mom's brother - so Takeoff's uncle...

I said that because a lot of people meme'd about Takeoff being the best when it is obvious he is probably the most skilled technically etc. I also meant that I wouldnt be surprised if he had more of a hand in the songwriting and creation of Migos music than we knew or seen.

In the full video with that new angle from TMZ, that mf is shooting recklessly at the end…looks like he’s tripping/falling while shooting and running away smh

rappers really need to start investing in real security and not joey from the block that you knew since 3rd grade cause goddamn man

allegedly dude was his uncle.
thats not joey from 3rd grade

But the point still stands…dude was essentially their “security”…carrying a gun in the bag all night.. but didn’t know wtf he was doing and f***ed up

my uncles know how to handle firearms and i would still hire professionals over them,

Head and torso shot

not necessarily takeoff's uncle - could be Quavo's brother on his dad's side

Fair point

You missing the point my dawg.

Wack told a story about him and his boys tryna jump 50 Cent and they fell back once they saw he had Ex-NAVY Seals as bodyguards.

This aint really a rapper thing as much as it is a lifestyle thing but if you are willingly to have a lifestyle/be in places where guns are gonna probably be necessary for protection, you should have LEGAL and LEGIT security and not family members and people that don't know protocol and how to handle guns.

Cause (as we currently are being told) this was a case of friendly fire.

What happened?

offset changed his profile picture to takeoff to honor him.

when you come from "nothing" you want to put your people on. I have dreams of beint successful and having my friends/family all with me one day.

But you're right. Doing that, you end up putting people in roles they simply aren't qualified for.

The way he always just came through and slid on tracks and renegaded regardless of it being the last verse.

Never disappointed.

Don’t seem like it was Migo Bandz judging by how quickly it happened.

and you can still do that.

but it's some jobs where it's like.....Eminem (I know surprise) said it best

And I don't even carry guns no more, I don't got to
Got undercover cops that'll legally pop you

Oh damn I wasn’t paying attention to the name. Damn.

you are not wrong about anything you said

but is the uncle confirmed security? was his job that night to protect, or was he an unexperienced, spooked out dude that had a gun? could have been both. was here there just to hang out and had a strap with him to feel safe within himself?

you are right in your case but there is a chance it is not very applicable here. he could have had a marine escort with him, if its strays from close proximity there is nothing to be done.

was he confirmed security detail that night?
or is it the implication that since he was strapped, this makes him security of the entourage beyond all reasonable doubt?

That’s still extended family. Not some random he met as an adult.

One thing that has annoyed me so much is all the early speculation that got spread around. Still see posts talking about Quavo being mad about losing in dice

Like these people went around spreading all this misinformation about Quavo after he already lost his brother

So f***ing foul he shouldn’t have people lying on his name during such a dark time

Shame on everyone that spread that s***

Same with people rushing to identify who shot Takeoff, like just let the police do their job instead of potentially falsely accusing someone

I was speaking more in general.

Its not even confirmed he shot Takeoff, but from the video it seems he let shots go.

But just in general, I see so many rappers moving with no security, rather relying on old friends. I get that you can trust the person 100%... but the person may not be best for the role.

This isn't just security too tbh. Rappers who make their friends managers as well
