Takeoff, real name Kirsnick Khari Ball, died on November 1 last year, aged 28, when he was shot dead in an alleged dice game gone wrong in Houston, Texas. In January, a man was charged with the murder of Takeoff but was released on bail after paying a $1million (£824,150) bond. He was formally indicted in July.
During his concert in Atlanta, Drake paid tribute to Takeoff, saying: “The first time I came to Atlanta, was I hopped on the remix to the song called ‘Versace…And I just wanted to say while I’m in here, rest in peace to my brother Takeoff. One of my first brothers out here in Atlanta.”
