Offset, Quavo reunite to celebrate late Takeoff's birthday: 'Greatest to touch a mic'

Offset and Quavo reunited to celebrate what would have been their Migos bandmate Takeoff's 29th birthday on June 18.

Quavo, 32, posted a series of photos on Instagram Monday as his family members gathered to visit a Takeoff mural and wore shirts with the late rapper's photo. Offset, 31, was included in one of the group pictures.

"ALL for TAKE!" Quavo captioned the post.

Offset also posted a tribute to his late friend on Instagram. "Happy birthday rocket man. the greatest to touch a mic!! best spirit ever!!" he wrote.

"Purest man I know your heart was golden bring me peace bra we celebrate your life because you still right here I love you gang," the "Code" rapper added.

Takeoff, born Kirsnik Khari Ball, died Nov. 1 after he was shot as more than 30 people were leaving a private party at a bowling center in Houston. Police have said the gunfire followed a disagreement over a "lucrative" game of dice, but that Takeoff was not involved and was "an innocent bystander." His mother is now suing the bowling alley.

Police arrested suspect, Patrick Xavier Clark, on murder charges in connection with the fatal shooting on Dec. 1. He was released from the Harris County jail on Jan. 3 with a $1 million bond, according to court records. His attorney, Letitia Quinones, has said Clark has a "valid and meritorious claim for self-defense."

Takeoff's death at 28 shook the music world and those closest to him including his fellow Migos members Offset and Quavo, who remembered the youngest member of their group as an "angel."

In a heartfelt post after Takeoff's memorial service in Atlanta on Nov. 11, Quavo recalled memories from their youth when they collected WWE action figures and remembered Takeoff's passion for music.

"Dear Take, It's so hard to tell you ima miss you because you (were) always with me and we did everything together," Quavo wrote on Instagram. "Since we were kids you (have) been by my side looking up at me."

"Throughout this whole time he had a real passion for music," Quavo continued in his post. "It was his dream to become a rapper cuz I didn't know what I wanted to do. ... I knew he was gonna be a rapper."

In an emotional open letter posted to Instagram, Offset wrote to Takeoff that he would "love (him) forever."

"I've been going to sleep and waking up, hoping that all of this is a dream, but it's reality, and reality feels like a nightmare," Offset wrote. "Every time you would see me, you didn't give me a dap you gave me a hug. I wish I could hug you one last time."

All three Migos members – Takeoff, Quavo and Offset – grew up together in the Atlanta area with Quavo and Takeoff sharing a familial bond and close friend Offset joining the duo in their teenage years. Quavo said he and Takeoff "hated the word nephew" because they felt their relationship was closer.
