It was a very emotional day for Takeoff’s friends and family… On Friday, the late Migos rapper’s loved ones and fans gathered for a star-studded “Celebration of Life” ceremony at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia just 10 days after his sudden death.
The massive venue seats 21,000 people — and they were all there to honor the performer. According to TMZ, Justin Bieber, Chloe Bailey, and Yolanda Adams all performed at the funeral, which was attended by Migos stars Quavo and Offset, among many others.
A press release sent ahead of the gathering via Page Six declared there was a “strict no photo no video policy” inside the venue; however, one rogue fan managed to record a short clip of Drake giving a speech during the memorial service.
