News about Takeoff's death this week didn't just crush the fans who have followed Migos since "Bando" hit the airwaves in 2012 and catapulted them into superstardom.
It hit home. In every sense of the word.
My dad, frustrated with the constant news of Black men dying, called and asked, "Didn't you know him?"
My best friend also contacted me early in the morning, and I told her his death hurt.
