Rapper Rich The Kid took to Instagram to share a video of him getting a hand tattoo in honor of the late Migos member, Takeoff. The tattoo was done by Tattoo MF Red, a Florida-based artist who specializes in realism artwork. It is reported that the new ink was finished within 30 minutes in between Rich’s studio session and interview. The piece is Takeoff’s name written across the back of Rich’s hand.
Rich reportedly was introduced to Migos in 2012 while visiting an Atlanta nightclub. Shortly after, Rich teamed up with the rap group on 2013’s “Jumpin Like Jordan,” followed up by a number of collaborations with Takeoff including 2013’s ‘Trap-a-Holics,” 2019’s “Rockets,” and 2020’s “Too Blessed.”
Following the death of Takeoff, Rich paid homage to the late rapper in an Instagram post, in which he referred to him as his “best friend.”
“Today I lost more than a brother My twin, my best friend everything, I don’t wanna believe it I can’t,” he wrote. “The most humble person I know we used to share shoes & clothes before we made it with no problem! I miss you already you didn’t deserve that!! i can’t stop crying I love you so much bro forever.”
