Offset took to Instagram Saturday to share that he got a large back tattoo honoring Takeoff, his cousin and former Migos groupmate, who was killed in November 2022.
The post revealing the tattoo has over 1.7 million likes and more than 29,000 comments as of Sunday.
“Love you 4L & after,” Offset captioned the post.
Celebrities and fans shared their condolences and support for Offset in the comments.
Rapper and producer Busta Rhymes commented using a series of rocket ship and hand emojis under the post, and rapper Lil Skies commented: “That’s hard brudda” with a blue butterfly and thunderstorm emoji.
“Still Unbelievable about Takeoff!!!” one fan commented.
“Omg that’s so beautiful and it look just like him,” another comment read.
Takeoff, whose real name was Kirshnik Khari Ball, was outside a Houston, Texas, bowling alley when the fatal shooting broke out, injuring two others.
In December 2022, two men were arrested and charged in connection with the shooting, according to Houston police. Per authorities, an investigation is still ongoing.
Migos, an Atlanta-based dynamic rap group, consisted of rappers Offset, 31, Takeoff, 28, and Quavo, 32. The trio ran a family-led business, with Quavo being Takeoff’s uncle and Offset being Takeoff’s cousin.
The group began performing together in 2008 and released their first mixtape called “Juug Season” in 2011.

The trio was nominated for two Grammy awards in 2018: best rap performance for their song “Bad and Boujee” and best rap album for “Culture.” However, Migos seemingly split in 2022, with Quavo and Takeoff releasing music as a duo and Offset pursuing solo projects.
