Rap-A-Lot founder J. Prince took to Instagram on Tuesday (June 1) to reveal his nephew was shot and killed in Houston earlier this week. But the longtime music executive made it crystal clear he wasn’t going to sit and wait for local law enforcement to do their jobs.
In the caption, Prince issued a PSA to the city of Houston and called on the “real” ones to take justice into their own hands.
“Houston We Have A Problem To Solve!” he wrote alongside a photo of himself with his nephew. “There are a few renegade young punks, who went into one of my boys’ garage and shot my unarmed nephew in his heart and killed him.
“These clowns have no principles, with an ‘anybody can get it’ type of attitude. I wish I could go back to the western days and put a ‘WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE- MILLION DOLLAR REWARD’ on them but that’s illegal, so I won’t do that.”
Prince continued, “To all the real ones in every hood in H-Town, let’s not wait on the police to solve every problem for us. We have legal rights that need to be exercised to protect. I have NO respect for you n-ggas around the world that call yourselves gangstas, killing unarmed, innocent people at nightclubs, homes, schools, malls, restaurants, churches or wherever!
“This is weak shit NOT gangsta! Real n-ggas around the world need to come together to deal with these bad apples. I wish immediate karma to all those who intentionally kill innocent people. Reap what you sow!”
The fatal shooting of J. Prince’s nephew follows the recent string of gun violence plaguing the rap community. Most recently, Kansas City, Missouri-based rapper VNZA was shot at a Lake of the Ozarks bar over Memorial Day Weekend.
The news arrived just hours after Dallas rapper Lil Loaded was reported dead along with Lil Durk producer Turn Me Up Josh.
King Von, Mo3, OD YG, Hot Boy Ju an Mike Darole are just a handful of artists who’ve lost their lives to gun violence in the last seven months.
They call it “Uncle Toming” when the obvious truth is spoken

ALLLL SHOT NOT BY WHITE PEOPLE OR POLICE OFFICERS……LET THAT SINK IN
Want More Irony ? UK BLM Activist Sasha Johnson was recently shot in the head ..by who you ? yeap you guessed it …. and 97% of yall still think police and white folks are the biggest threat to your survival **suck my teeth**
Dude, shut up. No one even mentioned any of that under this article. You sound stupid.
jprince first off fck ya bltch and the clique you claim… dude ain’t built like that. he had yall fooled when pusha and Drake was speaking like he had killers on deck.
You Trolling, Prince been the Don of the South, your comments on this website don’t change that. Some dudes down south really bout they business, so chill trying to clown a real one.
You dont know shit boy. J Prince is the MAN period.
LOL. I’m sure you’d say that to his face, or anywhere in TX for that matter. LOL. Very funny.
say it to his face? oh no we got a tough guy here. yall clowns put too much stock in thug life behavior when everyone commenting on sites like this are keyboard warriors, like yall out in the streets like that. yall know no more than what Google maps show yall in the hood.
this man said y’all don’t know no more than what Google Maps shows yall. I’m dead.
Condolences, J is a friend of the family, so my sincere condolences.
That being said, the war being fought is no longer in the streets. Now there are just senseless murders, stupid kids hyped by music and lean or whatever slaughtering each other. Weird and trifling. No respect for self God or community.
All of these random shootings in general has gotten beyond out of hand. The sad part about it is I’m sure a number of the shooters out will more than likely end up being somebody’s sweet little Jazzy May once behind the bars if they make it that far. ?
why does this site have to sensationalise these killings i mean is this really anything new?
They won’t put an artists music up but they’ll link a YouTube video of them being killed. I come here for laughs and entertainment but that side of this website is disturbing
And it’s owned by Warner brothers so very scary
They see a lot of people are getting away with shooting people, that’s why these little punks are doing it
If he really believes you reap what you sow, Maybe prince is reaping something hes sown?
So ………………………… im
Guessing …….. it wasn’t a cop or white person that killed his nephew …… ?

I’ve known J Prince for decades. Your headline was misleading. It is sowing confusion and will only lead to more violence. The media, even so-call “hip hop” media, is an enemy to urban communities and our youth. Stop promoting beefs and offer solutions to your subscribers.
