In the wake of Takeoff’s tragic death, his fellow Migos member has announced that he is delaying the project. Offset confirmed in a DM with a fan that his sophomore LP was being pushed back.
“It’s probably the last thing on your mind, but is your album still dropping Friday?” the fan asked in a screenshot of the exchange.
Offset surprisingly responded, writing, “No pushed back.” However, he did reveal a new release date.

Offset has not spoken out publicly in the wake of Takeoff’s death, but he did change his Instagram profile to honor his Migos brother, who was fatally shot outside a Houston bowling alley on Nov. 1.
Offset’s sophomore album was originally supposed to drop Friday. The project, which follows his 2019 solo debut Father of 4, has produced tracks including the Baby Keem-produced “54321? and “Code” featuring Moneybagg Yo.
In a tragic turn of events, Takeoff’s funeral will now be held Friday at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Offset and Quavo are expected to attend, along with thousands of family, friends, and fans. Justin Bieber and Alicia Keys will perform during the public memorial, which begins at noon. Tickets were released online, but the venue has reached capacity.
Quavo and Offset reunited to honor Takeoff, they were spotted together for the first time since Takeoff’s tragic death on Nov. 1. Dressed in all black, they were seen leaving what appeared to be the late rapper’s wake on Thursday night. In photos, obtained by Page Six, a somber Quavo wore dark sunglasses and a hat as he walked to a waiting black SUV. Offset also appeared in dark shades while taking a phone call. They were joined by about a dozen other people including Cardi B.
