A new legal dispute has reportedly emerged within the family of late Migos rapper Takeoff as his parents continue to battle over how settlement money connected to his wrongful death case should be divided. According to reports, the disagreement centers around a confidential settlement reached following litigation related to Takeoff’s tragic death in Houston in November 2022. The rapper, whose real name was Kirshnik Khari Ball, was fatally shot outside a bowling alley at the age of 28.
The latest dispute adds to an ongoing series of legal matters involving Takeoff’s estate. Following his death, it was revealed that the Atlanta rapper did not leave behind a will, creating questions about how his assets, music catalog, and estate would be managed. His mother, Titania Davenport, and father, Kenneth Ball, have previously been involved in legal proceedings regarding the administration of his estate and related wrongful death claims. Under Georgia law, estates without a will are typically handled by a decedent’s closest relatives.
While details surrounding the settlement remain confidential, reports indicate the disagreement centers on the allocation of funds obtained through the wrongful death litigation. The situation highlights the complicated legal challenges that can arise when high-profile individuals pass away without an estate plan in place. As the matter continues through the court system, fans and supporters remain focused on honoring Takeoff’s legacy, which continues to influence hip-hop years after his untimely passing.
