On June 18, 2023, Takeoff's family, friends, and devoted fans gathered at the renowned Takeoff mural, located on the Atlanta BeltLine, to celebrate the rapper's 29th birthday. This heartfelt event brought together loved ones and supporters to honor the memory of Takeoff, one of the members of the esteemed rap group Migos.

Shara, Takeoff's aunt who is Quavo's sister, also graced the event with her presence. The occasion served as a poignant reunion for the remaining members of Migos, Quavo, and Offset, who came together to commemorate their dearly departed bandmate and family member.

In addition to Takeoff's inner circle, many of his closest friends were in attendance. To pay tribute to the influential rapper, candles were provided by The Rocket Flight Crew, one of Takeoff's fan clubs. These candles were lit in his honor, each bearing the names of his fans from across the globe who were unable to attend this significant gathering. The Rocket Flight Crew went above and beyond, creating custom cupcakes, Takeoff-themed key chains, necklaces, T-shirts, and birthday cards for attendees to sign. The outpouring of support from fans demonstrated the immense impact Takeoff had on people's lives, not only through his remarkable talent but also his compassionate heart.
