Offset Surprised With Priceless Takeoff Gift For 33rd Birthday

Former Migos member, Offset, was treated to a surprise as he celebrated his 33rd birthday at Vice City.

TMZ Hip Hop spotted him at the Art Basel gallery, the same place he was earlier seen with Travis Scott and Cardi B.

Offset received a priceless gift: Mazza New York, a designer jeweler, surprised the Georgia hitmaker with a custom Takeoff-inspired white gold ring.

The ring is a copy of the cover of the late rapper’s 2018 debut studio album The Last Rocket, and according to the outlet, it’s worth up to $60,000.

Being over two years since his passing, Takeoff was one of the most beloved and gifted talents of the modern rap era. Takeoff, one-third of Migos, died after an early morning shooting in Houston in November 2022.

Law enforcement sources, and multiple witnesses said the fatal incident went down shortly after 2:30am when police officers got the call for a man shot at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston.

Per reports, Takeoff and Quavo were there playing dice when an altercation broke out and someone opened fire, shooting Takeoff, either in the head or near his head.

In other news, Quavo recently received a lawsuit from a Louisiana rapper who claims the former member of the Migos stole a QUAVO HUNCHO track from him.

That, however, is not the end of his legal troubles for this month; a Las Vegas court and jury recently ordered him to pay $682K to a man he and his entourage seemingly assaulted in 2018, according to KLAS.

It has been established that surveillance footage captured the moment in which the Georgia rapper and his colleagues jumped valet Antonio Henry at the Encore Hotel & Casino due to an argument. The jury found Huncho liable for the damages, and his lawyer reportedly and dismissively called Henry’s move the pursuit of a “hip-hop lotto ticket.”
