AceShowbiz - Offset continues to keep the memory of Takeoff alive in the heart of hip-hop fans. The 30-year-old rapper has paid another tribute to his late cousin at his show and it has moved his social media followers.
On Sunday, December 11, Offset took to his Instagram page to post a video of how he kicked off one of his recent shows with a tribute to Takeoff. In the clip, a black-and-white picture of the late Migos star was displayed on a giant screen onstage while the DJ played a rendition of "Never Can Say Goodbye".
"Never can say goodbye/ No, no, no, no, I/ Never can say goodbye," the lyrics of the song, which was originally recorded by The Jackson 5, go. "Even though the pain and heartache/ Seems to follow me wherever I go."
Concertgoers held up their phones and turned on the flashlight on the phone before Offset was seen entering the stage. He stood right in front of the giant screen, facing the image of Takeoff and spreading his two hands wide open.
In the caption, Offset hinted that he would always remember his Migos groupmate at the start of upcoming shows. "Before every show I love you bra LL," he wrote, along with a rocket emoji. Takeoff's nickname is The Rocket.
Offset's tribute to Takeoff has brought some of his followers to tears. "Awwww I would be in tears," one person reacted to the video. Another said, "This made me cry you are your brother's keeper."
A third person sent their condolences, "I feel sorry for offset I can tell this s**t hurt him deep! Keep Take name alive ik he feeling the [a heart emoji]." Someone else added, "Damn the energy off this is powerful offset!!"
Offset was back performing after Takeoff's death earlier this month, during a gig at Miami club E11EVEN on December 2. Joined by his wife Cardi B at the party, he led a tribute to his cousin as he told the crowd before performing "Bad and Boujee" and "Clout", "We're doing this for my brother. For Takeoff, let's do this s**t."
On Thursday, December 8, the 30-year-old rapper tweeted that he's "in a dark place," more than a month after Takeoff's tragic passing.
