‘For nothing’
Rapper Juice Wayne took to Twitter to react to the news of the death of Takeoff.
Juice Wayne wrote: “Takeoff, man… Offset lost a brother he’ll never get to fix things with. For nothing. Quavo lost his nephew. For nothing. Rap lost a good one. For nothing.
“All this bloodshed. For nothing. It’ll never make sense. Never ever. Rest in Peace. Prayers to the family of the fallen.”
Takeoff was ‘killed while playing dice game’
Takeoff was reportedly killed while playing dice games at the Houston party.
A dice game is where players roll dice and gamble on the outcome of the number rolled.
In craps, an extremely popular dice game, two dice are rolled in hopes of landing the combined dice as either a seven or an 11 first–that’s a winning roll.
You lose if you roll a two, three, or twelve in your first hand. If you throw a four, five, six, eight, nine, or ten with your first roll of the dice, you can still win, but only if you roll the same number again first, followed by a seven.
Playing the dice game is not usually a dangerous pastime, but the game became deadly for Takeoff because the group argued over the game, with someone drawing a gun.

Takeoff’s funny moment with a fan
From the moment fans found out about the shooting and death of rapper Takeoff, they have been sharing their favorite moments involving him.
One of them includes a fan taking a selfie video with Takeoff, who was unaware that the fan was using a beauty filter on it.
“Oh my God!” Takeoff said when he noticed the filter, then doubled over laughing along with the fan.
‘When s**t don’t work out, it’s not meant to be’
Quavo spoke about the state of the group on the Big Facts podcast, saying: “We came from a loyal family that’s supposed to work together and you’re supposed to stick together, but sometimes when s**t don’t work out, it’s not meant to be.
“We stand on loyalty and sometimes that s**t ain’t displayed. Right now we gon’ be the duo till time tell.”
Takeoff then commented: “We don’t know all the answers. We pray a lot, so only time will tell.”
The trio-turned-duo’s album, Only Built for Infinity Links, was released on Friday, October 7.
The family act’s third studio album, Culture III, was released in June 2021.
