Offset Reveals He's 'Fake Smiling' – But Fans Believe He's Using Takeoff's Death For Attention

Offset apparently finds it difficult to absorb the loss of his cousin Takeoff.

Takeoff, whose actual name is Kirsnick Khari Ball, was shot and died at a bowling alley early on November 1 after their Migos bandmate, Quavo, got into a verbal dispute with several other individuals.

He passed away when he was 28 years old.

Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, tweeted on Wednesday alongside a picture of Takeoff, "S-t not easy fake smiling and s-t tryna keep walking with my head up."

Offset has been utilizing social media after the "Versace" rapper passed away to help him cope with his grief.

Fans responded to his tweets with messages of support for the spouse of Cardi B.

One person wrote, "You can't sit around and be depressed. So f--k it. Fake it until you make type s-t."

"Words cannot express how sorry we are. This is incredibly difficult for me to comprehend, another individual wrote.

Allow yourself to experience each emotion, regardless of the day you may be experiencing, says a third individual.

Offset is displaying his emotional side, but other fans accuse him of being a phony since he used Takeoff's passing to get "clout."

"For whom are you acting?", tweeted one user.

"At least Quavo went ghost to heal or do whatever he needed, but you can't seem to help but perform and be on social media utilizing Takeoff for clout," Quavo said. "This looks like cap for attention."

Takeoff Killer Update

Despite allegedly attempting to buy bogus tickets and expedite his passport to leave the US, Takeoff's suspected killer apparently intends to argue "self-defense" in his continuing murder prosecution.

Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, stated that he and his attorneys are putting together a "valid and meritorious" case to contend that he only shot Takeoff in self-defense, per HipHopDx.

Judge Josh Hill is hesitant to grant his request to lower the bond amount from $2 million to $100,000 because he thinks the defendant poses a flight risk.

Houston Police Sgt. Michael Burrow also stated at the court last week that a scan of Patrick's phone following his detention revealed that he conducted internet searches for bogus airline tickets.

Additionally, investigators discovered searches for stories on the shooting of Takeoff and if he had been designated a suspect in his phone.

Patrick's bond was ultimately decreased by the judge from $2 million to $1 million, but his legal team is still pushing for a $300,000 reduction.
