Current and former Alabama players react to death of Rapper Takeoff

The hip-hop community is mourning the tragic loss of one of its biggest stars.

Kirshnik Ball, better known as “Takeoff,” was shot and killed Tuesday morning in a bowling alley in Houston, Texas.

Takeoff was one-third of the popular group “Migos” that was formed in Lawrenceville, Ga. He, Quavo (uncle), and Offset (cousin) formed an unstoppable force as a family in 2008 and were active as a group for 14 years. The Migos’ style and hit songs such as “Versace” and “Bad and Boujee” changed the culture of music. Reports have stated that Takeoff was killed during a dice game.

Current and former Alabama players reacted to the news in sadness on social media.
