He was a member of the hip-hop trio Migos. – Fans celebrated the musical legacy of slain rapper Takeoff on Friday at a memorial service in Atlanta, near where the artist grew up, that drew Justin Bieber, Drake and other big names in the music industry.
Migos’ music represented the creativity and culture of the Black community, she said, and she worried the group would be too saddened to make new music — at least for a while. Migos’ music was an “escape” for many people, he said, and he was hopeful the event would leave the rapper's family and the rest of the group with lasting memories of him.
Free tickets to the memorial service were available to Georgia residents, but State Farm Arena said well before Friday that the event had reached capacity and fans without tickets should not come downtown. “He probably won't remember it,” he said of his son. “But it's something to have when he gets older, to know he was there.”
