Offset, who is currently separated from his wife, Cardi B, is not the first member of the now-defunct hip-hop group, Migos, to be shot. The group disbanded after one of the members, Takeoff, was shot to death in Houston at a bowling alley Nov. 1, 2022. According to TMZ, while attending a birthday party for Jas Prince, the son of long-time legendary music executive, J Prince (Rap-A-Lot Records), the rapper was shot, allegedly playing dice while at 810 Billiards & Bowling at approximately 2:40 a.m that morning. Takeoff, real name Kirshnik Khari Ball, was there with his uncle, Quavo, nee Quavious Keyate Marshall.

The group members all grew up in Georgia and made a name for themselves in the music industry after scoring a hit in 2013 with “Versace.” Migos scored numerous platinum hits, including “Bad and Boujie” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, “T-Shirt,” “MotorSport” featuring Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, “Walk It Talk It” featuring Drake, “Pure Water” featuring Mustard, “Need It” featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again, “Stir Fry,” “Straightenin” and “Narcos.”
