The funeral or “homecoming” as us people of color like to call it will be held in Atlanta at the State Farm Arena supposedly set to take place on Friday, Nov. 11, 2022, Remembrance Day!

Not much is known about the ceremony, but the rapper’s pastor is sharing that it will be religious because Takeoff, real name Kirsnick Khari Ball was a man who believed in God and was active in his church, a side of him that shocked fans.

Rap artists are not often associated with religion and if they are, it can sometimes come off as mockery *cough* Kanye West, Ma$e *cough* but Ball was allegedly respectful about it. His pastor backed that up and several other rappers have as well.
