On Tuesday, November 1, 2022 rapper Takeoff, one-third of the Grammy-nominated group Migos, was fatally shot, in the wee hours of the morning in Houston, Texas.ย
At around 2.30 am, a fatal incident was reported at Houston’s 810 Billiards & Bowling. Authorities were sent to the bowling alley. Takeoff, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, was present at the exclusive event along with his uncle and other Migos member Quavo, who according to Variety was unharmed.ย
Houston Police tweeted that it wouldn’t reveal the victim’s identify “until his family was notified” and it had been confirmed by the Harris County Institute Of Forensic Sciences, despite multiple reports claiming Takeoff had been declared dead at the scene.ย
Houston Police and the Migos’ representatives have been contacted by GRV Media and HITC for comment.ย
According to reports, the claimed brawl started during a dice game, but what is a dice game exactly?ย
What Was The Dice Game That Rapper And His Friends Were Playing?
A dice game is generally defined as a betting game in which the outcome depends on the roll of the dice. It is a losing throw if a player throws a total of two, three, or 12. If the player throws the same number before scoring a seven, they can win with the first throw of four, five, six, eight, nine, or 10.ย
However, one Twitter user asserts that in another well-liked dice game, the winner is determined by tossing the highest number. Therefore, the term “dice game” is a catch-all term for any type of gambling game that involves rolling dice.ย
Celebrities Pay Tribute To Takeoff.ย
The hashtag “#RIP Takeoff” is currently trending globally on Twitter, despite the fact that Houston Police have not officially confirmed his death. The tributes include contributions from celebrities like Chris Eubank Jr. and Jake Paul.ย
“Senseless murder must end. A need for unity “RIP TAKEOFF,” wrote Jake Paul.ย
As he recalled Takeoff, boxing champion Eubank said: “I remember Takeoff being a very down-to-earth, cool man. I can’t believe I have to reiterate this about yet another young black celebrity who was senselessly killed. It’s horrible how quickly and frequently individuals are dying in this sector, and something truly has to change.โย
The alleged loss of Takeoff was described as “very sad and discouraging” by WNBA standout Lexi Brown.ย
Emoticons were used by many to express their sympathies on The Shade Room’s Instagram post, including 21 Savage and Wild ‘N Out host and rapper DC Young Fly.

Iโm in shock over the passing of Takeoff. RIP. Donโt have the proper words right now, but another way too young artist gunned down at age 28. Just watched him and Quavo on Drink Champs the other day, full of joy and life. My condolences with his family and loved ones.
