Top5 & J. Prince Jr. Kick It On IG Live In The Ultimate Drake-Affiliate Meetup

by

It feels something has gone wrong for Drake at every turn this year. From the diss track battle with Kendrick Lamar, to the poorly timed UMG and Spotify pre-action petitions, he’s put himself in a bad light. Overall, most of these shortcomings have come at his own doing. But one thing he can hang his hat on is that he’s going to continue to have a strong legion of fans. Many of them have staunchly supported him throughout all of the hard times in 2024. It makes sense though, as he’s built up an established army for over a decade now.

Like all artists, there’s different levels of support. For example, there’s the casual who will champion your music as long as it’s hot. Then there’s the obvious die-hard, which is an accurate description of most Drake fans. They will swear up and down that you have never missed and that every decision you make is the right one. Top5, Canadian native and rapper, falls into that category, however, he could also go in a separate tier all by himself.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

We say that because, yesterday he made some headlines in regard to Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour announcement. One of his shows will be at the Rogers Centre and he said the only way he’d respect Dot is if he brought zero police escorts to the venue. As you could imagine, he was met with ruthless criticism and was roasted heavily for it.

Another man you can throw in Drake’s all-time fan camp is DJ Akademiks. He’s going to post any sort of Drake content possible, even if it’s not in direct relation to him. A perfect example of this, is the IG Live clip above with Top5 and J. Prince Jr., the son of record label founder, J. Prince. The latter is also a big Drake supporter, as his Jr. Ak reshared their link-up shooting the s*** and fans are just left confused as to why this is news. “‘2 clowns link up on ig live to yap about nuffin’,” one user writes back. “All of drakes Toronto homies are straight dorks and squares🤦🏽‍♂️” another adds.

HoneyKomb Brazy Issues An Apology To J. Prince Jr.

by

HoneyKomb Brazy recently called out J. Prince Jr. over some label issues with Rap-A-Lot, as well as making claims that he got slapped. It’s a bit of an unclear feud, as social media spats tend to be, but it seems to have ended before things really even started. Moreover, he took to his Instagram this week to issue an apology to the rap mogul’s son for his actions. Not only that, but the rapper fully admitted that he’s in the wrong here, and hopes that they can talk face-to-face soon. Despite Brazy’s other beefs, it’s heartening to see him want to make things right, if only for the inspiration it can give us to do the same in our lives.

“I just talk to big home @jprincerespect for like 4 hours straight on FaceTime,” HoneyKomb Brazy’s message began. “He really solid af n always wanted wats best for me n he was always there for me my whole bid. I really love the OG n he stood on business n standing on business righteous heart felt type s**t. Uk we rocking like cut off stockings [two 100 emojis].

HoneyKomb Brazy’s Apology To J. Prince Jr.: Read

“I just be in brazy mode sometimes but I apologize to u fr,” HoneyKomb Brazy went on. “N we ain’t going to never do that no more cause that’s was really some b**ch s**t on my end. I admit that now. @jprincejr need to catch that flight so we can talk face to face.” Furthermore, this is especially heartening because the MC’s faced a lot of violence and tragic ends to conflicts throughout his life, ones that are nice to see him avoid. For example, his grandparents tragically died in a house fire over a Facebook post relating to his relations with OMB Peezy.

Meanwhile, J. Prince Jr. is still involved with some feuds with other rappers, although this is more tangential than legitimate. He, like many others, trolled Gunna online, with him specifically naming a mouse he found after him on Instagram. For now, though, it’s good to hear that this didn’t go any further. For more news and the latest updates on HoneyKomb Brazy and the Prince family, keep checking in with HNHH.

[WATCH] J. Prince Disputes Claims That His Son Abandoned Takeoff’s Body After Shooting

After rumors began to circulate about Rap-A-Lot Records founder J. Prince’s alleged involvement in Takeoff’s murder and the mixed feelings surrounding the memorial he erected at the Houston bowling alley where the Migos member was killed, there have been claims that the music mogul’s son abandoned Takeoff’s body after the shooting, but Prince vehemently denies those allegations.

On a recent appearance on the Givin Them The Business podcast, Prince explained that the video which shows his son walking by Takeoff after the shooting was only a small part of what actually happened that night last November.

“You know one of the biggest lies that was told — he walked by TakeOff body as if he was heartless and didn’t care,” J. Prince said. “And in reality, Junior, my cousin Michael that’s here with me, they was there with TakeOff from the beginning to the end. Even when they walked by, they took three seconds of an hour and some situation when Mike and Junior was walking by.”

Prince added on, “He actually went in the restroom to wash blood off his hands [from] when he had reached up under TakeOff head to pick him up and his fingers went in it.”

With the senseless killing of Takeoff still in the minds of his friends and family, talk of Prince’s involvement continues to gain momentum, while his son unfollowed Quavo on social media after the shooting making the situation that much more sticky. J. Prince did not attend the slain rapper’s funeral, but he created a memorial consisting of hundreds of roses outside of 810 Billiards and Bowling.

The alleged murderer, Patrick Clark, was released on a $1 million bond after his arrest and will have to wear an ankle monitor and remain at his parents’ home in Houston. His trial is set to begin in March.

Only two full months have passed since Takeoff was murdered in Houston, Texas. As a result, the Hip-Hop community is still mourning the late Migos rapper. In fact, Quavo shared a touching tribute song to his nephew and close collaborator just last week. 

However, in addition to the mourning, new information surrounding Takeoff’s murder is now surfacing on the internet more and more. Comedian Shawty Shawty recently spoke about the infamous dice game that led to the lethal altercation. Now, Houston’s own J. Prince has given more insight into what happened in the aftermath of Takeoff’s passing.

J. Prince Calls Social Media’s Coverage of J. Prince Jr. “One Of The Biggest Lies”

According to the Houston-bred mogul, J. Prince Jr.’s actions were blown out of proportion. Furthermore, Prince argues that the now-viral clip of his son shows just a sliver of what happened that night.

 “You know, one of the biggest lies that was told was he walked by, you know, Takeoff’s body as if he was heartless and didn’t care,” J. Prince said. “In reality, Jr. [and] my cousin, Michael Prince that’s here — they was there with Takeoff from the beginning to the end. You know what I mean?”

“Even when they walked by, the walk-by part — it took three seconds of a hour and some situation. When Mike and Jr. was walking by, he actually went in the restroom to wash blood off of his hands. Where he had reached up under Takeoff to pick him up, and his fingers went in it.”

Time will tell if fans believe J. Prince’s account of J. Prince Jr.’s actions following Takeoff’s passing. For now, the Rap-A-Lot CEO’s explanation is just the latest tidbit of information to come out about that fateful night in Houston.

The investigation into Takeoff’s death continues as a suspect has been arrested. The Migos star fell victim to a shooting that occurred last November 1 in Houston. From the onset, a scandal erupted after a video of the tragedy reached social media and showed J. Prince Jr. walking past the rapper’s dead body. It was a highly-talked-about moment that social media users discussed far and wide, but the Prince family made it clear that they love Takeoff.

Still, the controversy continues to haunt Rap-A-Lot founder J. Prince. He recently jumped on Livestream and was confronted by viewers who left comments related to Takeoff.

However, Prince made it clear that he wouldn’t stand for any disrespect.

“I want all y’all to know, none of y’all love him no more than I do,” he added in the video. “So, take that sucka sh*t and take it to ya mammies.”

Clark has denied that he is responsible for Takeoff’s death, but prosecutors say otherwise. Reports stated that upon his arrest, Clark was found with a large amount of cash and a ticket to Mexico. Prosecutors allege he is a flight risk, and his bond has been set at a staggering $1 million.

There have been repeated attempts to have the bail decreased, but a judge has held firm.
