Sjava Reflects On The Passing Of Migos’ Takeoff. South African artist Sjava has joined the global chorus of fans and fellow musicians still mourning the loss of late American rapper Takeoff, a member of the renowned group Migos.
In a poignant post shared on his social media, Sjava wrote simply, “Things were never the same 💔”, accompanied by a sombre photo of Takeoff — a reflection that spoke volumes with just a few words.
Takeoff, whose real name was Kirshnik Khari Ball, tragically passed away in November 2022, and his untimely death sent shockwaves throughout the music world. His calm demeanour, lyrical precision, and distinct contribution to the Migos’ sound left an irreplaceable mark on hip hop.
Sjava’s tribute suggests not just personal grief, but a broader sense of cultural loss — a recognition that the hip hop landscape has shifted since Takeoff’s passing. Known for his deeply emotive music and poetic expressions of pain, Sjava’s choice to speak out now could be rooted in a moment of reflection or perhaps a parallel he draws between Takeoff’s legacy and current developments in the genre.
This isn’t the first time Sjava has used his platform to address themes of loss and legacy. Whether through his music or social commentary, he often gravitates toward storytelling that honours the past and acknowledges the weight of emotional scars. This latest post reinforces his role not just as an artist but as a voice for those grappling with unresolved grief.
As time moves on, it’s clear that for many, including Sjava, the echo of Takeoff’s voice still resonates, and the void he left behind remains deeply felt.
