After Take's passing on November 1, Metro Boomin posted a letter about Takeoff, calling the late rapper his "brother."
"Anytime I seen bro we would dap and hug and he would always look me in the eye and say ” I love you my brudda” and not just when we would part ways," Boomin wrote. "I can’t even really put into words how bright and warming of a genuine soul he was. Music brought us together 10 years ago but played a small role in our friendship and brotherhood overall."
