Inside the Offset and Takeoff Lookalike Controversy
Offset has made the headlines with his comments on a video featuring “Takedown_not_Takeoff,” a content creator who closely resembles the late Migos member Takeoff. The video, shared on Instagram in March, featured the impersonator’s rendition of the “of course” challenge.
“I’m a celebrity lookalike, of course with these glasses I look like Takeoff,” he began in the clip. The man continued, emphasizing that as a celebrity lookalike, he also got the best ad-libs. He concluded the challenge, saying:
“I’m a celebrity lookalike, of course when I’m out in public, people think they’ve just seen a ghost and take off.”
In the caption, the content creator revealed the video was in honor of the late rapper and to keep his name alive. Unfortunately, some people weren’t pleased with the Takeoff lookalike’s video, and Offset was one of them. In no time, Offset and the Takeoff lookalike had an exchange. Taking to the comments section on Monday, Offset made it clear that the video wasn’t funny.
“No you don’t twin s**t not funny!!!!” he said.
Shortly after, the impersonator responded to Offset’s comment, writing:
“No disrespect but I think I do and so do others but why we can’t turn something negative into something positive? Long live takeoff 🚀.”
