Worldwide Tribute For Takeoff At His Mural At The Atlanta BeltLine

Worldwide Tribute For Kirsnick Khari Ball - Takeoff

The mural in honor of Migos rapper Takeoff which sits on the Atlanta BeltLine is where his fans from all over the world have been paying tribute to this amazing bright star . Armondo Monoletti is the painter behind this mural.

Artist Armondo Monoletti said he decided to go out in the middle of the night and put it up, that way people can come honor Takeoff during the day when people wake up and start walking past. And this is now being done by fans from all over the world.

He got there around 1 a.m. and spent four hours painting Takeoff’s image. He says he was celebrating Takeoff’s creative spirit while he worked by having Takeoff's music from the album ‘The Last Rocket' playing as he painted.

One would wonder how fans worldwide are getting to pay tribute as they aren't all able to get to Atlanta. Well, some of the fans who have been making this happen explain how it started and how this is happening.

I had an idea to collect donations from Team Nasa to put fans names on candles from all over the world and this is what we came up with 60+ Candles , Flowers , Teddy bears and Notes from the fans. Lee Lee was our there making sure everything was cleaned and The mural stayed secured out. https://www.instagram.com/yrntakeoff.news/

 

"It started out as a place for me to just find some kinda healing process. Mo runs the fan page and it was so many fans from across the world hurting and feeling lost. Many cant travel so I knew I had to find a way for them to feel connected. So we started adding names to the candles. We originally had fans send me letters or drawings and i would print them out and make a board but the city of Atlanta removed them!!!' Alot of fans were heartbroken about that but I have all the originals of everything so now when i visit i always make sure the fans are there too so candles will always have names on them. Its my way of letting them know they cant stop us from remembering Kirsnick K Ball our Takeoff his name will live on thru us all". (Lei one of Takeoff's fans spoke to me on Instagram and sent me  most of the pictures).  https://www.instagram.com/allergic2haterz82

I also spoke to a passionate fan on Instagram who said,

"Without much to say , Mr Kirsnick Khari Ball also known as takeoff, was quite brilliant and also known to be the most quiet man among the Migos music group. He has done a lot of great things in his life, unfortunately his life was cut short. He spread his love through his music reach out deep into the hearts of fans.His passing not only choked the fans, but also the entire music industry. A lot of us were left in doubt. I and my friends have decided to keep his music and memories alive by sharing his love and music..we plan on rendering our support to the community. To stop gun violence and all illegal activities happening in the streets. We pray for his family and those affected by his passing, for lord to be with them all.Takeoff was the quietest, most unproblematic member of Migos and barely in the media’s spotlight .” 

Fans worldwide including myself are getting to pay tribute to Takeoff by getting our names on the candles burning at his mural in Atlanta. And this is thanks to fans that live in Atlanta who run fan pages for Takeoff and the migos on Instagram. Fans worldwide were very fond of Takeoff and some fans had the honour of personally interacting with him. Takeoff actually used to talk to some fans who ran Migos and Takeoff fan pages on Instagram from different corners of the world.

May Takeoff continue to live on through his amazing music which is touching the lives of many worldwide. Family, friends and fans have vowed to keep his memory alive and support his music always. They continue to cherish his memory and his essence which many who knew him say was amazingly beautiful. Apart from being super creative Takeoff is said to have been humble,God fearing,kind and so loving.

Some candles are purchased with donations from fans across the globe. The fans in Atlanta usually let everyone know ahead of time when they will be visiting and if anyone wants to donate towards a candle they only request $1. They get them from dollar tree so there's no need to overcharge. If anyone sends in more than $1 they use the extra donation to get candles for other fans overseas. They are Team Takeoff and look out and support one another like a Takeoff Fan Family Support Group.

They use my cashapp and for overseas they use paypal. Everyone gets a email receipt.
