As he became an established rapper by the 2010s, Takeoff provided financial support, taking care of &#8220;most if not all of her expenses,\u201d Davenport said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/shop?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=shop2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

He now wants the dispute settled in Texas, where the original civil case was filed. Davenport wants it moved to Georgia, where a probate case for Takeoff&#8217;s estate is already pending in Fulton County.
