Takeoff’s father Kenneth Ball has attached himself to a wrongful death lawsuit against 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston, the venue where the late rapper was shot.

The suit was originally filed by Takeoff’s mother, Titania Davenport, in June 2023. Ball signed on to the suit as an “intervenor,” meaning a third party who attaches themself to a legal case already in motion and has a stake in the outcome.

Takeoff, whose real name is Kirsnick Ball, was shot at a party at 810 Billiards & Bowling in November 2022 after an argument broke out, despite not being involved in the dispute himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“[Kenneth Ball], the natural parent of [Takeoff], has suffered substantial pecuniary loss both in the past and in the future. Indeed, [Ball] has suffered past and future pecuniary loss, including funeral and burial expenses, psychological and psychiatric expenses, loss of advice, loss of counsel, loss of services, loss of care, loss of maintenance and loss of support,” Ball’s lawyer Brant J. Stogner told AllHipHop in a statement.
