Although there was a strict no-photography or phone policy at the celebration of life, a blurry video has emerged on Twitter that shows offset’s emotional words. “[Takeoff] changed the way of life of music always,” the Migos star said. “You changed that flow. That flow came from Take, the originator. The originator of that flow. He changed the music.” “Lord, give us the strength, simply invigorate us some. The family and everyone, give us strength. I would rather not question God, yet I simply don’t get it.” “I don’t get you in some cases. Also, I trust in you, Father,” he kept, approaching God to make sense of why he took the rapper’s life.
I understand them not streaming Takeoff’s funeral because y’all really suck. Y’all had that video all over the internet like he was not a human being who lost his life.
I wish I could see the service to pay respects as a fan, but I understand. I’ll find another way to do it.— jb. 💗 (@jadesterr__) November 10, 2022Advertisement
