Actor Lakeith Stanfield says “If you are for gangster rap you can’t also be for black” following death of Takeoff

Actor Lakeith Stanfield says “If you are for gangster rap you can’t also be for black”.

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner joined Mayor Sylvester Turner and members of the HPD Homicide Department for an afternoon press conference addressing the killing of Migos member Takeoff at 810 Billiards & Bowling early Tuesday morning.

“Let me speak to the human element first before we do anything,” Finner said to media gathered for the conference. “I spoke to this young man’s mother just an hour ago. I want everyone to understand the pain and suffering of a mother.”

TMZ Hip Hop obtained this video of the showdown around 2:30 AM — you can see and hear Quavo arguing with someone, and Takeoff is a few feet behind him. There’s a discussion about playing basketball, and someone — possibly Quavo — says “I don’t get down like that!”

Members of the Houston Police Department held a press conference Tuesday afternoon and revealed a 23-year-old male and a 24-year-old female were also hit, and went to a hospital for treatment. Cops say most of the witnesses to the shooting fled the scene, and they’re asking them to come forward with information about what happened.
