<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Takeoff&#8217;s Funeral Services Underway In Atlanta </strong></h5>
<p>Takeoff, along with his uncle Quavo and cousin Offset, found mainstream success in the group Migos. But in recent months, the group parted ways for unconfirmed reasons. Quavo and Takeoff released a joint album<em>, Only Built For Infinity Links, </em>on October 7.</p>
<p>Just a few short weeks after Takeoff demanded his <a href="https://youtu.be/aRFJ-lTyAAk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">musical impact flowers</a> on <em>Drink Champs,</em> the rapper is no longer here to accept them. According to <em>TMZ, </em>Takeoff&#8217;s funeral service began in the State Farm Arena at noon local time. Earlier this week, Georgia residents could secure up to two tickets via Ticketmaster.</p>
