Takeoff's news comes a few hours after he and Quavo dropped their collaborative Halloween hit "Messy" on October 31. The horror-themed song unleashed was directed by Quavo and Daps.
Takeoff is a member of the hip hop trio Migos along with his uncle Quavo and first cousin once removed Offset. The three began rapping in 2008 and have since released several albums.
