Busta Rhymes Pushes Back Release of 'The Fuse Is Lit' to Honor Takeoff's Funeral

Takeoff's funeral took place today at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Busta Rhymes pushed back his EP, The Fuse is Lit, to honor the rapper who was shot Nov. 1 in Houston.

Busta posted the announcement on Instagram, where he also expressed his support for Takeoff's family during the tough time.

“Let us all collectively send love and light to our brothers, you know Takeoff…" he said. "Sending love and light to his beautiful family… sending love and light to our brothers [Migos members] Quavo and Offset, Quality Control Family,” Busta said in the somber video. “Family and friends that has been affected directly and indirectly by this tragedy.”

Earlier this week, the veteran rhymer dedicated his video, "You Will Never Find Another Me" to Takeoff.

Drake also announced earlier this week that he was postponing his planned show at Harlem’s Apollo Theater in order to mourn Takeoff.

Busta's The Fuse Is Lit includes the recently released, Marley Marl-produced "Slap" with Conway and Big Daddy Kane as well as tracks produced by Swizz Beatz and Focus. It'll arrive on Nov. 18.
