The funeral service for Migos rapper Takeoff will be held on Friday, November 11, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

The ceremony is anticipated to imitate the rapper’s career by having many attendees flocking State Farm Arena which can hold more than 20,000 people.

The funeral service will be officiated by Reverend Jesse Curney III, who is Takeoff’s family’s close prayer partner.

"I am doing a eulogy, it is at State Farm, and New Mercies choir will be singing,” said Rev Curney during an interview.

Rev Curney said he was saddened by Takeoff’s death as he was always devoted to his faith.

"I was really sad to hear the news. Kirsnick has been a faithful member since he was ten years old. He and his family were active and avid supporters of the church and the community as a whole,” said Rev Curney in a statement.  

Canadian Singer, Justin Bieber is also set to perform at the upcoming event.

Even though Bieber and Takeoff never released a collabo together, Bieber had previously collaborated with the "Migos band" on the tracks "Looking for You" and "What You see."

Takeoff’s family and friends had previously held a candle-lighting ceremony on November 5 in Atlanta.

A 20-second footage from the vigil that surfaced online showed the friends and family shouting his name then releasing balloons that spelled out his stage name “TakeOff” into the sky. 

TakeOff died on November 1 after being shot in a crossfire at a private event in Houston.
