All three members of Migos all grew up in the same household in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and went on to become rap superstars. Since Takeoff’s death, Quavo and Offset have honored to him at memorial services, award shows and with other special tributes.
Over the weekend, Offset posted photos on social media of a large back tattoo with the caption “Love you 4L & after.” The tattoo is an image of Takeoff dressed in an animal print jacket and chains and surrounded by planets and stars.
The space images are a nod to Takeoff’s only solo album release “The Last Rocket.”
