A “Celebration of Life” was held Friday in honor of Takeoff in his hometown of Atlanta.
Family, friends, fans, and peers gathered to remember the late Migos rapper at the city’s Statefarm Arena. The service reportedly started just after noon and was marked by emotional speeches by family members and artists, including Drake and fellow Migos rappers Offset and Quavo.

TMZ reports that Justin Bieber, Chloe Bailey, and Yolanda Adams performed during the ceremony.
While there was a “strict no photo and no video policy” inside the venue, some fans shared clips of the occasion via social media. In one post, Chloe Bailey is seen performing Beyoncè’s song “Heaven.”
