Takeoff Settlement Dispute Could Bring Quavo and Offset to Court
Quavo and Offset could reportedly be called as witnesses in a legal battle between the parents of late Migos rapper Takeoff over money from a wrongful death settlement.
The dispute involves Takeoff’s mother, Titania Davenport, and his father, Kenneth Ball, who disagree over how the proceeds from a confidential settlement should be distributed. According to court documents reported by TMZ on October 7, 2026, Davenport is seeking to have the dispute handled in Georgia rather than Texas.
Davenport argues that several relevant witnesses, potentially including Quavo and Offset, live around Atlanta and Athens, Georgia. She says requiring them to travel to Houston, Texas, would create unnecessary expenses.
Neither rapper has been confirmed as a witness, and the court has not ordered them to testify.
Why Takeoff’s Parents Are Fighting Over the Settlement
The dispute follows a wrongful death lawsuit Davenport filed in 2023 against 810 Billiards & Bowling, the Houston venue where Takeoff was fatally shot on November 1, 2022.
The rapper, whose real name was Kirsnick Khari Ball, was 28 years old when he died. Davenport reached an undisclosed settlement with the venue in 2025, but disagreement over the distribution of the money has continued.
Kenneth Ball maintains that he is entitled to half of the settlement. Davenport is challenging his claim, arguing that she raised Takeoff largely as a single mother and had a close relationship with him throughout his life.
The settlement amount has not been publicly disclosed, so the exact sum at the centre of the dispute remains unknown.
Takeoff’s Mother Questions His Father’s Role
In court filings, Davenport alleges that Ball was largely absent during Takeoff’s childhood and provided little financial or emotional support.
She says she was primarily responsible for raising the rapper and later relied on him for financial assistance after his music career became successful.
According to the documents described in media reports, Takeoff helped cover her expenses, while Davenport disputes Ball’s claim to a share of the settlement.
These statements represent Davenport’s position in the legal dispute. The disagreement over the parents’ respective claims remains a matter for the court to resolve.
Ball, meanwhile, maintains that he is entitled to a portion of the settlement. The central question is how the money should legally be allocated, rather than simply how the two parents describe their relationship with Takeoff.
Why Quavo and Offset Could Become Important Witnesses
Quavo is Takeoff’s uncle and fellow Migos member, as well as Davenport’s brother. Offset was also part of the Atlanta rap group alongside Takeoff and Quavo.
Their close personal and professional relationships with the late rapper are among the reasons they have been identified as potential witnesses in the dispute.
Davenport argues that witnesses familiar with Takeoff’s life and relationships could be relevant to the proceedings. She also says Georgia would be a more practical location because many of those witnesses live in the area.
However, being named as a potential witness does not mean either rapper will necessarily appear in court. The final decision will depend on the proceedings and any rulings made by the judge.
Takeoff’s Death Continues to Have Legal Consequences
Takeoff’s death in Houston in 2022 led to criminal proceedings as well as civil litigation connected to the venue where the shooting occurred.
The settlement dispute between his parents is separate from the criminal case arising from his death. Patrick Xavier Clark has been charged in connection with the killing, but criminal allegations must be determined through the appropriate court process.
The ongoing disagreement over the settlement shows how legal matters can continue long after a high-profile artist’s death, particularly when family members disagree about financial claims.
For now, the dispute remains focused on the settlement distribution and where the case should be heard. Whether Quavo and Offset will eventually testify remains uncertain.
The next major development will depend on the court’s decision regarding the appropriate venue and how the competing claims should proceed.
What Happens Next in the Takeoff Settlement Battle?
The judge will need to consider the competing arguments over whether the case should remain in Texas or move to Georgia.
The location could affect how witnesses participate and how the dispute moves forward. Until a decision is made, neither rapper’s appearance in court is guaranteed.
For fans of Migos, the case is another difficult chapter following Takeoff’s death. For the family, the immediate issue is resolving the disagreement over the confidential settlement through the legal system.
The final outcome will depend on the court’s assessment of the evidence, the relevant law and the claims made by both parents.
