Ever since Pusha T released “The Story Of Adidon,” J. Prince has emerged as the sole voice for Drake’s camp in the feud. According to the Rap-A-Lot Records founder, his public discussions about the beef have resulted in him receiving a threat.
In a new interview with Billboard promoting his upcoming memoir, Prince claimed to be the recipient of a threatening text.
“I just got a text on my phone from somebody with a threat about staying away from Pusha T,” he said. “I don’t know where it came from, but I see addresses [of people I know]. ‘Keep his name out of your mouth, or else.'”
Prince then showed interviewer William E. Ketchum III, a longtime contributor to HipHopDX, the text message, which included various addresses recognized by the Rap-A-Lot founder. The text came from a number not listed in the music executive’s contacts.
“These are real-life situations we have to deal with,” Prince continued. “I understand where it can go, and I’m trying to circumvent it. But by the same token, I’m really the wrong person to be trying to go there with. I understand it, and I’m in a position to try to put an end to it. But the devil don’t even like peace. Believe it or not, he sees you going through peace, and he don’t want it. That means nothing. But this decision, we’re standing by it, and we’re going to move along to do good business.”
Prince was asked if this is the first threat he’s received over the battle between Drake and Pusha.
“This is the first one, but it’s definitely on my phone,” he said. “Of course, people talk loosely, but a pair of lips will say anything … Your people that surround you are going to come together. Somebody want stripes. Somebody want to get brownie points. When you don’t put these kind of fires to bed, that fire turns into a blaze or explosion, and there it is. That’s real life.”
Prince has become a central figure in the Drake and Pusha T beef after telling the former to not respond to “The Story Of Adidon.” Since then, he has given multiple interviews about the situation and claimed Kanye West wanted no part of the beef. He’s repeatedly described Drizzy’s lack of a response as not getting into the “pigpen with pigs.”

Pusha T has street people with him too, not surprising
What does the founder of Rap-a-Lot, which hasn’t been particularly relevant in years, have to do with Drake? I know his son, the same guy who punked 6ix9ine, discovered him, introduced him to Weezy, and Weezy ended up snatching him up for YM, but I thought there was like a lawsuit or something over that, didn’t know JPrince was still hella close to Drake like that.
Yuchk!!!!
This dude is making drake look even more corny if thats even possible. I cringed during this interview. Shits mad embarrassing. Drake getting hella L’s week 2 of this beef..smh
SMH!
i’m such a big Drake fan, he could have lost the battle and I would have still listened, but this J prince guy is ruining him, please promote your book and stop talking about Drake
Somebody has a deathwish…
If ya wanna go to war He’ll take ya to war..
For a “O.G.” he sure does a lot of talking…
Well j prince ain’t stupid. He knows this could be someone trying to cause division between drake and pusha t. I prince also appears to be very focused as stated he remembers big and pac and does not want things to go this way. Neither does push’s. This is someone trying to divide
his name is HOV…connect the dots
just pop this loudmouth piece of shit anyone can get got
As against him ending this battle as I am, Threatening O.G.s online is not something that should be going on right now. That shit is weak as fuck and just legitimizes the reason for him wanting to squash it. Drake is still holding an L right now… leave Prince alone… Drake is a man he can make his own choices. If he lets this shit ride hes the sucker not Prince. The Rap A Lot catalog makes up for Drakes wack ass
He didn’t get a threat, it’s a lie, he’s promoting his book, everyone knows it wasn’t at any risk of getting “street” it’s just an excuse for drake not responding and it has greatly backfired, yesterday the internet didn’t believe it was at risk of going past music, so today he makes this up, the day before he made up hearing a song then had to back away from that.. Drake uncle needs to stick to promoting young fighters and stay out of the way of 100million+ dollar musical icon stuff. Poor Drake losing mainstream steam every time this guy mentions him. Weird seeing J Prince make such miscalculations
There’s no threat, everyone knows he made up drake having a response now, and saying that it was at risk of turning violent was just an excuse for the no response, so today he’s trying to double down by making up this “threatening” message, you think if it was real he showing it to the host? Never seen J Prince so lost, he’s usually really smart, he’s making a successful artist look way worse then just not responding would have. surprising seeing him have to resort to lying.
Why do I have the strangest feeling this chatty patty is making this threatening text message shit up.
You’re so brave little internet soldier
Why u trying to suck me dry?
Cause you’re so gangsta
Jay send that text to his self lol
First he takes his time to respond to
Black face, second he puts 100k up to find dirt on push. It took him less then 24 to respond to the first track. Now he waiting to find a way to make it work out in his favor. Same way we forgot about her last year
Candyman Bigfella Bar on the way! candymanvendingservice.com
I’ve lost all respect for this man. First I believe he is out here lying a lot. Lets say someone did actually send him a message, If he is suppose to be this super og he ain’t telling about a threating text. J.prince not only making drake look bad he making it bad on himself. DX stop running stories on this dude we don’t care what he has to say anymore, I rather hear some rants from dame dash
Drake put some of his sucka load on prince lol, help me out bro hold some of this sucka weight
I’m a loyal fan and supporter of DX but I’mma go away for about 2 weeks hopefully when I come back I wont see any more
bullshit stories about J. Prince. I know J knows what he’s doing is a really bad look.
Wait….so known “industry bully” is now complaining about threats? Gimmie a break. Done with yall until yall done with this foolishness.
J Prince ain’t never been a bully he just got money ties
This story is full of B.S. he need to stop lying about someone sent him a threating text to help take the spot light off of Drake. J.Prince trying to play chess all along promoting his book that he rip off all of his artists on Rap.A.Lot records that is truth Facts everybody know it, it’s ok for Drake to go back to back on Meek but now he can’t take it and crying like a big baby. Man his butt up and take that “L” like a real man and stop being a sucker for letting another man fight your battled everybody see what is doing he trying wreck Pusha name and help save Drake… i am so sick of this>>>
You a fool if you think this guy is lying. He has nothing to prove to you internet nerds. I would say he needs to contact the other side first to make sure the threat actually came from them. I doubt it did. Contacting the other side will further de escalate this situation.
He’s lying bro! It’s called Damage control! Like Public Enemy said DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
If he aint the type to let anyone know what he gonna do he wouldn’t be the type to let people know about a text??? Not adding up, the prince has been caught lying.
J. prince done lost more credibility in 2 interviews than anybody I ever seen in the rap game. This reminds me of a politician lying in a interview saying everything but the truth.
Let’s add this all up… his son “discovered” Frake, yet Frke didn’t sign to his label. UGK was on his label, and all of a sudden Bun B was talking about a Union for Rappers to get paid right. Now he’s advising Drake to not respond to Push, using pigs and pigpen metaphors. He doesn’t hve half the moneybags of Kanye. I’m from Houston, and a huge UGK/Ghetto Boys fan. They aren’t doing Kanye/Pusha/Cudi/Nas numbers. Seriously. He has his corny ass boo coming out. Most of the Swisha House motherfuckers stayed away from this snake and his label. This reminds me of Quincy Jones talking on Pac and MJ. Shut the fuck up already. You support blackface snowflake. Pimp C is rolling over in his grave.
I agree 100 percent! Speak that truth bro!
Lil twist caused this
Poopy-di scoop Scoop-diddy-whoop Whoop-di-scoop-di-poop Poop-di-scoopty
Aren’t those the lyrics to all of those MEGOS songs?
Not sure why everyone jumping on pusha dic the album not serious
Lie-A-Lot Records Coming soon
I’m just gone keep it 100. Shit pusha T got money he worth 15 million and j prince worth some money. Anit nothing gone happen because if pusha T get hit j prince gone hit to period. And j prince need to stop holding drakes hands and let em fight
These 2 aint even on the same level think of prince as souths daddy or suge and imagine pusha to be snoop … Remember in 97-98 he went to no limit for protection
This aint the 90’s that’s over with just like Rap a lot I live in the south Rap a lot holds no weight. Cats were scared of Suge because he was big and he had money to make people move, Prince aint got neither he is not physically threatning and he doesn’t have power like he did in the 90’s when Rap a lot was bringing in money. Death Row had well known killers, along with Ruthless, Bad boy, No limit. Pusha t and kayne individually are more powerful then J prince.
Ok now, A known fact J. Prince is the the mob!!!!!!Look at his creds do a back ground check on him, Dudes a real OG to the very last letter of the code!!!!!
you can tell who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Death Row started out of money from J. Prince with Harry O. It’s how Lydia Harris got to the West coast to hook up with Harry O. to start the seed money from Godfather Entertainment, which eventually became Death Row. Ever wonder why so many Rap-a-Lot artists were always on Death Row shit, including on a lot of their early shit…that’s why.
J. prince is tied in with the Gangster Disciples and went back with Larry Hoover…records were always just a side hustle. Do your homework. When Pimp C was bout to get his ass lit up by Master P’s goons, J. Prince put that call in to save him. Dude is the truth in these streets, not on that Hollywood shit and not on trying to get you to know he is. Everybody with some sense knows. Just like dude Tony Draper, another OG who is not to be fucked with next to the industry clowns that try to walk like they got it like that.
Dont post a comment is your spell game is on kindergarten
Pusha t is not worth 15 million….celebritynetworth is fake news they make assumptions with no proof at all
Yo at least Birdman will let you make some money if you under him, hell if you with Birdman if you make 10 mill he’ll only take about 9 mill of that lol leave you a good mill, If you under J prince and you make 10 mill you will owe him 500k lol dude is one of the biggest crooks and hip hop history. The geto boys should have gotten far away from that man, Z-ro dealt with him and seen how bad the business was and got away. Jas prince got a small % of drake which is good because he generates a lot. But damn g go discover some other people stop depending on one man to keep you above water.
Ok you got a point with them 2, what about Bun B, Willy D, Yukmouth, Big Mike the list goes on and on. He tried to F over Big Mike bad, Big Mike wanted to re up and in the middle of his deal that wouldn’t do it, when his contract was up and they found out he was leaving they pulled some B.S, had that man house shot at. They thought Big Mike would be shook like others they dealt with they thought Mike was going to Bow down, He went looking for them couldnt find them blew up Rap A lot studio, and the put the Police on that man, he went to jail for like 4-5 years, that was some sucka shit by rap a lot
Pusha already exposed & bodied Drake, he might have to drop another track to stop an old OG using Pusha’s name to try remain relevant
This guy going around talking about he told Drake don’t respond LMAO FAKE NEWS! I am sure he ment, I told Drake you can’t fuck with Push a T, so let it go before he completely erases your ass! Push a T Lyrically killed this boy and the funny thing is PUFFY SMACKED THE SHIT OUT OF DRAKE AND HE DIDN’T DO SHIT! Drake makes good songs for the kids and girls to dance to BUT LYRICALLY he’s going to continue to get his head cracked open LYRICALLY if he ever speaks on a lyrical GOD like Push a T, NAS, The Game, Kendrick, J.Cole, Kanye, IS, M AND M, ROYCE DA 59, JADA KISS, STYLES P, T.I, BLACK THOUGHT FROM THE ROOTS! All names listed are killers on the MIC!
PUSHA-T not Push a T
That was more gossip then lyrics. Rap is poetry it’s up to the artist whether they want to be hard or soft with their songs. Drake at this point is his own genre he knows he goes in between genres and it works out for him.
I thought Drake was on Cash Money? Why is J Prince running around talking about making decisions on Drake’s moves? Pusha was right. How many people eating off Drake?
1. Baby, 2. Slim, 3. Wayne, 4. Jas and J prince, 5. Universal
I’m calling Duck Tales on this, when did J. Prince start to get so chatty?
He’s on a press run for his book
All BS aside, this is J. Prince!!!!!!!
Life and bullshit can get mistaken, but do not be confused about J. Prince!!!!!
Drake with J. Prince cammander and Chief can go to war with any camp!!!! Jay is about the money, if he has interest in something then it’s best to stir clear of it.
Right. Prince is going to get Scarface on dude? Please. Outside of Houston (Maybe Texas), this fool ain’t shit. They were all sweating Master P beef back in the day. Nothing happened to anyone.
Who made Push the spokesman’s on what’s hip hop and what isn’t? Dude made his career exaggerating his ‘drug dealing past’ and playing it up as if that’s be how he made his money. Lying to a whole generation about how the streets actually work. He tried to play the pro-black angle against drake yet he’s in bed with the biggest trump supporter to this day. He also claims he’s about the purity of hip hop and can’t respect ghost writers yet he’s employed by a guy wh now has others do everything for him and then stamps his name on it. Pusha contradicts himself so much it’s funny to see how hard some people hate on Drake that they’re willing to take Push statements as facts. Don’t get me wrong great diss record but the grandstanding has no substance, he was just jealous that’s all…
1)Pusha never claimed to be the spokesman of hip hop(that was that person’s opinion, to which we are all entitled to) 2)Pusha may have embellished a little about his drug dealing past(who doesn’t?), however, being from Norfolk myself, I can tell you that he & his team definitely did numbers 3)Pusha has stated on several occasions about his disagreement w Kanye over his support of Trump. 4)did you expect Pusha to resign from his position at G.O.O.D. Music because of the views of his boss? No innuendos just facts.
J.Prince thinks he’s so tough. There’s always someone more gangsta than u pops. He can’t do anything to Pusha cause if he did Drake will never walk the streets safe again.
nice story bro.
Hahahaahhahahaha. Internet kids
My bad. That was meant for Push What
I still want to hear Drake’s new diss track (if it was even real in the first place) Prince really fucked Drake over by telling him to stop the beef
He got one of his homies to send that text…… just so he can say the beef is now dangerous and that’s why Drake will not respond. No way Pusha T has someone sending you death threats man…. to what end? …… Pusha has the upper hand and winning the battle until Drake responds.
How is your collection of L’s going J Prince?
Young people don’t know who j price is or his history so they talk crazy. Better read some history, that man ain’t to be played with.
Yeah, whoever sending threats to the South God doesn’t want those problems. It’s why Drake’s corny ass has had a street pass in the industry since he got on. J. Prince ain’t one to fuck with. Keep that corny shit on wax to sell record streams.
Look j prince been around since the late 80’s. I know personally.. stick to studio killing. He’s the real deal. If you listen everything in metorphoric talk .when he speaks I beg you please please. Stay a square. Let’s just get money .all these rappers are bad . Texas, Louisiana. Come visit .we get money we don’t beef . because people die for real
It was funny one dude brought up Death Row. Where do you think Lydia Harris and the money to start Godfather Ent. came from when she hooked up with Harry O.? Ever wonder why Rap-a-Lot artists were all over Death Row’s early shit and always had a relationship with them? Larry Hoover/Gangsta Disciple affiliated for real. Fuck around at your own peril. Like I said, keep that corny publicity shit on wax before some people get hurt for real.
It’s like certain dudes in the industry you don’t fuck with. J. Prince is one of them. Tony Draper is one of them. you can tell who knows what they’re talking about and who doesn’t when people bring up industry like Puffy who liked to play or Suge when he was running the streets because he had his low level killer Piru dudes around. Draper and Prince are real street guys with real gangsta ties that will touch a motherfucker for real who just did the record shit in their spare time. When Master P was about to tap Pimp C’s ass, who do you think had to get in the middle of that shit to squash it? That’s power, and he doesn’t flaunt it around but let’s people know what it is, so you need to respect it.
Never ride another mans dick just because he has a bit of money and power. A nobody can take out even the biggest name if he’s crazy enough to want to gain a reputation for himself.
Stop dickriding on “OGs”, its 2018 anyone can get fucked with equally. Anyone who thinks young kids today will respect someone like JPrince because his history should keep those thoughts to themselves. This isn’t the 90s and his old school gangster affiliations wont mean dick to all these cliques today, especially outside of the South.
He really shouldn’t have even taken it there. He ain’t looking familiar.
