Takeoff’s murder last year
shocked the rap game and the entire world.
But now J. Prince and Offset
might start a war over his death that'll split the entire industry in half.
Let’s get right into this wild story.
On November 1st, 2022,
Quavo and Takeoff were in Houston celebrating Jas Prince’s birthday.
Quavo posted a video with Jas earlier that the night,
and later Quavo, Takeoff, and J. Prince Jr.
were all chilling at a bowling alley with around 40 other people.
There's a lot of different stories about how it all went down,
but the situation allegedly got heated over a dice game
and Takeoff was tragically killed by a stray bullet.
A nurse who lived in the area heard the shots and ran over to help,
but Takeoff was already gone by the time she got there.
After it happened, J. Prince posted a tribute to Take on IG and said
“I’ve been knowing Takeoff, QUavo and OFfset
for many years and there has been nothing but mutual love for one another
and that ain’t going to ever change where we are concerned…”
A dude named Patrick Clark was booked for killing Takeoff
but nobody really knows what happened yet.
Rumors started flying that The Migos’ crew started shooting first,
but others said
that someone with J. Prince Jr. upped his strap on Quavo over the dice game,
and there's also people who claim that the shooting
didn’t have anything to do with the Migos
and they just got caught up in a bad situation.
Then a video came out showing J. Prince Junior walking past Takeoff’s body
right after the shooting went down.
Some people pointed it out
and claimed that it was proof J. Prince Junior was involved with his death,
but his dad went on the Givin’ Them the Business podcast to defend him.
He said One of the biggest lies that was told that he walked by
you know, Takeoff’s body as if he was heartless and didn’t care.
In reality, you know,
Jr. and my cousin Michael Press
they was there with Takeoff
from the beginning to the end.
He actually went to the restroom
to wash blood off his hand when he had
reached under Takeoff, he had to pick him up.
The situation calmed down
while Takeoff’s friends, fans, and family all mourned his death -
but then last week
the Prince family sparked a beef with Offset
that could shake up the entire rap game.
On February 5th, J. Prince, J. Prince Junior, and Mike Prince
all went on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast to air the situation out.
Before the interview came out, an alleged police report leaked
where Quavo’s homie Willie Bland
told the cops what happened the night that Takeoff died.
According to the report,
Bland said he saw someone reaching for a gun
and thought they were going to hurt Quavo.
That’s when Bland hit the dude and things popped off.
Both sides allegedly pulled out guns and started shooting,
and Takeoff got caught in the crossfire.
J. Prince called cap on Bland’s side of the story and said
“He giving all kinds of statements on this police report that we have
so we could read his name and everything
‘cause he put himself in a position where he’s cooperating
and telling a lot of different lies.”
J. Prince also said that he wished Bland had taken a bullet instead of Takeoff,
because according to him Bland was responsible for the whole situation.
The whole interview was about the Prince family clearing their name,
but nobody expected what happened at the end.
They didn’t have anything bad to say about Quavo,
but it was a different story when it came to Offset.
Apparently there’s been more drama going on behind the scenes,
because at the end of the interview
J. Prince threatened Offset and said
Offset dude,
I ain’t gonna leave him out….
You wasn’t really
right there with Takeoff
when he was alive.
So for you to take these
positions that you taking.
I’ma just say this to you.
Don’t ever put me in no position where, you know I have to defend myself.
You know what I mean, that wouldn’t be healthy for you.
But J. Prince ain't the only dude Offset's having problems with.
Before Takeoff died,
rumors were flying for months that the Migos broke up.
Quavo and Takeoff started making music without Offset
and the three of them weren’t performing together at all.
Nobody really knew what caused the issues
and unfortunately, they never squashed it before Takeoff got killed.
Quavo performed a tribute for Takeoff at the Grammys without Offset,
and the two of them allegedly got into a fight backstage right before it happened.
TMZ reported that Quavo blocked Offset from taking the stage with him
and the situation got so heated that they had to be pulled apart.
Offset called the story cap and tweeted
“What tf look like fighting my brother yal n****s is crazy.”
But then a video leaked of Cardi B yelling at two people backstage.
You can’t see who she’s talking to in the clip, but Cardi yelled
“Both of y’all is wrong!
Both of y'all!
This is not right!”
No n**** shut the f*** up,
cause you shouldn't have been talking."
A reporter tried to ask her about what went down,
but Cardi just dodged the question and moved on.
After the Grammys,
Offset heard what J. Prince said and hopped on IG to air him out.
He called Prince out for speaking on his relationship with Takeoff and said
I don’t know what the fuck y’all n****s
got the f*** going on.
Y’all n****s speaking on my real brother….
Y’all n****s don’t know how me and my brother rock.
Offset was obviously pressed over J. Prince and his sons
talking about the situation so much in interviews.
He said that if J. Prince had issues with him,
then he should hit his line and they could talk
instead of putting everything on the internet.
J. Prince clapped back on IG
and took all kinds of crazy shots at Offset.
He called Offset fake and said
“See boy you acting like you’re a part of a family
that don’t really f*** with you because you’re a snake.”
There have been rumors for years
that Offset was jumped by Lil Baby’s 4PF crew in Atlanta back in 2020.
According to some reports,
Offset owed one of their dudes $50K from a dice game
and they jumped him outside of a party for it.
A video of the situation came out,
but it was from a bad angle and you couldn't even tell if Offset was there or not.
J. Prince pretty much confirmed the story in his response to Offset though.
He said
Let me see if I can refresh your memory.
Remember we talked
when you got your ass whooped in Atlanta?
You forgot?
Then J. Prince claimed he flew to LA
because Offset was worried Cardi was going to get attacked by some cripps.
Cardi reps the bloods, and back in 2018
she allegedly got some LA Crips heated
when she used the word “flue” instead of “blue” on social media.
Prince claims he flew out to settle the situation for them,
but Cardi clapped back and said he’s capping.
She hopped on Twitter and said that the only people there
were Wack 100 and Big U,
and Wack jumped in to back her up.
He said he was with Cardi and Offset with 100 bloods in LA,
and that J. Prince had nothing to do with it.
Wack also called out J. Prince out for putting street business on the internet
and said
“WHY ARE YOU LETTING THE WORLD KNOW THIS MAN HAD A PROLEM WITH YOU
& YOU HEARD THIS IN THE STREETS!”
J Prince also claimed that Offset
wanted him to squash a beef he had with Sauce Walka,
but at this point nobody knows who’s telling the truth.
If J. Prince lied about the LA situation
then the other stories could definitely be fake too.
The situation isn’t over yet,
but it seems like Offset is ready to move on from it.
He clapped back at J. Prince and said
“Never needed you for no smoke u da police
all mouth with no proof just fairy tales.
Let this be the last time we speak on this.”
What’s wild is that Quavo hasn’t said a word about anything that’s been going down.
He hasn’t spoken on J. Prince calling his homie a snitch,
the comments about Offset,
or the fight they allegedly had at the Grammys.
Nobody knows whose side he’s on between Offset and the Prince family,
but he might just be trying to stay out of the whole thing.
Some fans think Quavo might be taking a step back
because he knows how much power J. Prince allegedly has in the streets.
Prince is a legend in the game
and has been running Rap-A-Lot records since the 80s,
but there are tons of rumors about his family being involved with the streets too.
According to rumors,
any artist who wants to perform in Houston has to check in with J. Prince first.
But during the interview on Million Dollaz Worth of Game,
J. Prince responded and said that they’ve never had anyone check in.
Now Gillie Da Kid and Wallo are getting dragged on social media
for letting J. Prince come on the show and send threats at Offset.
They made headlines last year when Wallo broke down in tears
talking to Lil Durk about leaving the violence behind,
and now fans are wondering why they didn’t have that same energy
when it came to J. Prince threatening Offset.
Hopefully everyone chills out and moves on before something worse happens.
Quavo and Offset suffered an unspeakable tragedy just a few months ago -
and instead of being able to mourn Takeoff’s death quietly,
the whole situation has turned into a media circus and it’s only getting worse now.
If Offset and J. Prince don’t squash the beef;
it could have a huge impact on the industry.
Offset is still one of the biggest rappers in the game,
and J. Prince has a lot of power too.
Cardi B and Wack100
have already hopped into all the drama as well,
and if it keeps blowing up
then other artists will have to start picking sides too.
Rest in peace to Takeoff.
His death was a terrible tragedy that never should’ve happened,
but hopefully his family can get closure soon.
And hopefully Offset and J. Prince move on
before somebody else gets hurt.
Losing Takeoff was terrible,
but one thing that would make his death even worse
will be if someone else lost their life over it.
