Offset says he's struggling keep his head up after Takeoff's death

WARNING: This article contains strong language.

Offset has opened up about struggling to come to terms with the death of his Migos bandmate and cousin, Takeoff.

The rapper was shot and killed on 1 November at a bowling alley. He was 28.

On Wednesday, Offset tweeted a photo of Takeoff with a caption: "Shit not easy fake smiling and shit."

He added: "Tryna keep walking with my head up."

Following Takeoff's sudden death, Offset shared an emotional letter to his cousin on Instagram.

"Dear Take, doesn't feel real posting you like this… This still doesn't feel like reality. I've been searching for the right words to say, but there aren't any that suffice," he wrote.

A suspect in the investigation of Takeoff's murder has since been arrested and charged.

Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, was arrested in connection with the death of Takeoff, who was one of three people shot, Houston police said earlier this month.

One day before, Cameron Joshua, 22, was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon.

Houston Police Sgt. Michael Burrow said that the shooting at a private party followed an argument over a "lucrative dice game," but that Takeoff was uninvolved and "an innocent bystander".
