Offset has broken his silence on his cousin and Migos groupmate Takeoff’s death.
“The pain you have left me with is unbearable,” the “Clout” rapper, 30, wrote via Instagram Tuesday. “My heart is shattered and I have so many things to say, but I can’t find the words.”
He continued, “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.”
Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, told fans that he wishes he could hug, laugh, smoke and perform with Takeoff “one last time.”
“I know someone with a soul like yours is in heaven now,” he wrote. “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.”
Offset concluded his post by asking for “strength” and telling his late family member, “I love you forever.”
Takeoff was shot and killed at 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston on Nov. 1 around 2:30 a.m.
His uncle Quavo, who was the third member of Migos, was present during the fatal incident.
Takeoff, whose real name was Kirsnick Khari Ball, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other victims were taken to nearby hospitals in private vehicles, according to Houston police.
A star-studded memorial service for Takeoff took place in Atlanta last Friday, with Drake giving a heartfelt speech and Justin Bieber performing a tribute.
Quavo, whose real name is Quavious Keyate Marshall, was not injured during the altercation that killed his nephew.
The 31-year-old formed Migos in 2008 with Takeoff and Offset, with the rap group releasing their debut single, “Versace,” three years later.
Migos has since been nominated for two Grammys for their album “Culture” and their single “Bad and Boujee,” both in 2018.
In August, the threesome sparked split speculation when Quavo and Takeoff announced their duo, Unc & Phew, as Offset continued to release solo music.
Offset, who is married to Cardi B, subsequently made headlines for unfollowing his fellow Migos members’ social media accounts.
Quavo and Takeoff addressed the breakup rumors five months later in an episode of the “Big Facts” podcast.
“We want to see our career as a duo,” the “Workin’ Me” singer told DJ Scream in October. “Because we came from a loyal family that’s supposed to work together.
“Sometimes when s—t don’t work out, it’s not meant to be,” Quavo continued at the time.
Takeoff added that they didn’t “know all the answers,” concluding, “God knows. We pray a lot so only time will tell. Ain’t nothing got to change.”
