He claimed the man's gimmick wasn't funny.

These days, people are looking for any possible avenue to achieve success online. That frequently dips into some questionable or outright disrespectful territory. That debate was sparked once again after Offset replied to a social media influencer who claims that he looks just like Takeoff. It's been more than a year and a half since Take was tragically murdered in 2022. That's why one particular clip where the influencer in question claims people think they've seen the rapper's ghost when he walks by rubbed some people the wrong way.

One person who wasn't cool with his impression was Offset. The former-Migos rapper pulled up in the comments of his post to express his disapproval. "No you don't twin sh*t not funny" his comment reads, implying the man doesn't actually look like Takeoff. He does defend himself in a reply to the rapper. "No offense but I think I do and so do others but why can't we turn something negative into something positive? long live takeoff" his response reads. Check out the videos of his Takeoff impression below.

In the comments, fans understand where Offset is coming from, but disagree about the influencer not looking like Takeoff. "I Think It Hurt More Cuz Bro Actually Do Look Like Take" one comment reads. "I think he just don’t find it funny which is understandable. But he does look like him though" another agrees.

Last month, we got an update on the lawsuit that spawned from Takeoff's murder. The owner of the venue where he was killed blamed various patrons including Quavo and the shooting suspect himself of inciting the violence that resulted in Takeoff's death. Quavo has continued fighting against gun violence in honor of Take in the time since his death. What do you think of Offset's response to a man who claims to look just like Takeoff? Do you think the influencer actually looks like the late rapper? Let us know in the comment section below.
