AceShowbiz - Yung Miami and Lira Galore are feeling disgusted by people recording Takeoff's public memorial service. The femcee and the model turned to their respective social media accounts to share their thoughts.
Lira first tweeted on Friday, November 11, "The family asked everyone not to record at the service.. are y'all ok?! Like y'all can't for a second just be f**kin respectful?! Omg." In response, Yung Miami quote-retweeted and said, "Ppl are sick and will do anything to be the 1st to report a story," adding a face vomiting emoji.
Yung Miami and Lira's tweets came after footage from the funeral as well as videos of Offset and Quavo's heartfelt speech were leaked online. For his part, Offset told the crowd during his emotional speech, "[Takeoff] changed the culture of music forever."
Offset then appeared to hold back the tears as he led the crowd in prayer, "Lord, give us some strength. Just give us some strength… I don't want to question you, God, but I just don't get it. I don't get you sometimes. And I believe in you, Father."
As for Quavo, he said, "You're always with me and we did everything together. Since we were kids, you've been by my side, looking up at me with them eyes, waiting on me to make the next move…and you followed up right behind me." He added, "You always made sure I did it first, so you can do it right with me."
"You never competed with me, we were always on the same team because you hated playing against me because I always played too hard or too rough because I ain't like to lose," Quavo added in his heartfelt speech.
The public funeral took place for the late rapper in his hometown of Atlanta on Friday. While the funeral service was free and open for Georgia residents to attend, the venue outlined strict rules for the service. Attendees were supposed to have their phones locked in a special bag for the memorial.
However, some managed to sneak a phone into the arena and capture remaining Migos rappers' heartbreaking speech and fans are not happy. "I hope the family sue you for this," one Instagram user commented after The Neighborhood Talk posted the videos. "I thought they said no video, what's wrong with ya," added another. A third simply wrote, "My heart goes out to the family."
Takeoff, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, was fatally shot at 810 Billiards and Bowling in Houston. Police rushed to the scene at 2:30 A.M. on November 1. The Migos star, who was there alongside his uncle Quavo, was pronounced dead on the scene after being shot in the head and neck. Quavo's assistant Joshua Washington was also injured in the shooting.
