Takeoff has been remembered by Migos bandmate Offset, following his death.

The musician, real name Kirshnick Khari Ball, was shot and killed at the age of 28, while attending a private party in Houston.

Tributes poured in on social media following the news, with an emotional memorial held last week in Atlanta in his honor.

Taking to Instagram, Offset spoke out for the first time since the news of Takeoff’s death broke, sharing his heartbreak with fans.

‘Dear Take, the pain you have left me with is unbearable. My heart is shattered and I have so many things to say but I can’t find the words,’ he began a message.

‘I’ve been going to sleep and waking up hoping that all of this is a dream, but it’s reality, and reality feels like a nightmare.

‘Every time you would see me, you didn’t give me a dap you gave me a hug. I wish I could hug you one last time. Laugh one last time. Smoke one one last time. Perform one last time.

‘I know someone with a soul like yours is in heaven now. I hope you can see how much we love you and miss you. You have left a hole in my heart that will never be filled.

‘Give me strength, give your brothers strength, give your family strength.

‘Even though I know you will always be with us, throw me a lil sign or a beautiful dream. I love you forever, 4L and after.’

‘Dear Take, doesn’t feel real posting you like this….,’ he captioned the post.

‘This still doesn’t feel like reality. I’ve been searching for the right words to say, but there aren’t any that will suffice.

‘Until we meet again, Rest In Power. I love you.’

Takeoff died two weeks ago, following an incident at a private party, held at a bowling alley.

Officers announced that an investigation is underway to find those responsible.

Police Chief Troy Finner said during a press conference: ‘Everyone spoke of what a great young man this is, how peaceful he is. What a great artist. I’m calling upon everybody, our hip-hop artists in Houston and around the nation.

‘We’ve got to police ourselves. There are so many talented individuals, men and women, in that community, who I love and respect. We all need to stand together and make sure that nobody tears down that industry.

‘I ask you one thing, and I want this to resonate with everybody. What if it was your brother? What if it was your son? You would want somebody to step up, so please step up.

‘Get the information to us so we can bring some closure to this family who is hurting right now.’
