Takeoff’s father joins the $1 Million lawsuit against the Houston establishment where his son was killed as a third party.
November marked a year since the tragic murder of Takeoff who fans were introduced to through the rap group MIGOS. The Atlanta rapper was shot inside 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston, Texas during a heated argument over a dice game. Following the murder his mother Titiana Davenport filed a $1 Million wrongful death lawsuit against the venue citing adequate security measures.
Additionally, his mother is in a complicated fight for his $26 Million estate due to the rapper not having a will.
According to AllHipHop, Takeoff’s father Kenneth Ball has reportedly taken legal measures to join the lawsuit as a third party complicating the civil suit as well.
“[Kenneth Ball], the natural parent of [Takeoff], has suffered substantial pecuniary loss both in the past and in the future,” Brant J. Stogner told AHH. “Indeed, [Ball] has suffered past and future pecuniary loss, including funeral and burial expenses, psychological and psychiatric expenses, loss of advice, loss of counsel, loss of services, loss of care, loss of maintenance, and loss of support.”
If you’re curious how he was able to add himself to the lawsuit he did so by “intervening”. Third-Party “Intervenors” aren’t directly named in current legal situations and join by claiming a “personal stake” in the outcome. Furthermore, it doesn’t get more personal than a lawsuit over the murder of your son. Hopefully, the legal ordeals involving his passing end soon and the family can properly heal in peace. Both Quavo and Offset have publicly revealed the grieving process has been difficult for both of them.
After allegedly feuding they put their issues aside to celebrate Takeoff’s birthday and to celebrate him during the BET Awards. Hopefully, they continue to stay cordial so they can honor his legacy together as he would want.
