Offset broke his silence on the death of Migos member Takeoff, calling his pain “unbearable” in the wake of his loss. “My heart is shattered and I have so many things to say, but I can’t find the words,” the artist said about his cousin’s death in an Instagram post. “I’ve been going to sleep and waking up hoping that all of this is a dream, but it’s reality, and reality feels like a nightmare.” Takeoff was shot and killed Nov. 1 outside a Houston bowling alley. Friends and family of the deceased rapper gathered in Atlanta Friday for his funeral. Offset wrote on Instagram that his death has “left a hole in my heart that will never be filled.” “I love you forever, 4L and after,” he ended the message. An arrest has yet to be made in the murder.
