Takeoff had been playing dice with fellow Migos member Quavo when shots were fired.

Houston Police confirmed the shooting on social media, and it was reported that two other individuals had been taken to the hospital in private vehicles following the incident - Quavo was unharmed.

As the news rippled out across social media, many payed their respects to the rapper, with many questioning the senseless shooting that led to Takeoff's death.

Among them was rapper Desiigner who could be seen crying and saying he's 'done' after hearing the news of his friend's tragic death.

Desiigner's sentiments were shared by many others, like journalist Jemele Hill, who said: "I was in college when Biggie and ‘Pac were killed and thought there was no way we’d ever experience anything remotely close to that again.

"Now it’s happening so frequently that you barely have time to recover before someone else killed. RIP Takeoff."

"This senseless ass killing s*** gotta stop. this shit actually hurt the Migos have so many classics."

He began his career in 2008 rapping alongside his uncle Quavo (Quavious Keyate Marshall) and cousin Offset (Kiari Kendrell Cephus), forming a group they named Polo Club.

The family trio would later change this name to Migos, which they have stuck with throughout the rest of their music careers.

They put themselves on the music map with the release of the song 'Versace' in 2013, a track that ended up being remixed by Drake.

From there he went on to release hit albums Culture, Culture II, and Culture III with Migos to incredible success.
