Over the weekend, Portnoy found himself at the center of a feud with Angel Reese. Following Reese’s taunts of Caitlin Clark, Portnoy called Reese classless and idiotic. Many felt that it was a racially motivated comment, and the backlash has lasted all the way to today. Consequently, Gillie Da Kid and Wallo have been hit with some second-hand backlash. This subsequently led to a response in which Gillie and Wallo addressed their fans. Below, you can see Wallo explain how they don’t stand for what Portnoy said. Moreover, they made it clear that they own 100 percent of their podcast and that the deal with Barstool is simply for licensing.

Throughout the clip, Gillie can be heard saying “we love you Dave.” Overall, fans were not happy with this response or attitude. Immediately after the clip started making the rounds, Gillie Da Kid and Wallo were ripped to shreds for their commentary. Various fans felt that Gillie is typically very loud, but when it comes to the money source, he is extremely quiet. Furthermore, some Twitter users felt like the two are selling out black women for their brand. Needless to say, they have only entrenched themselves deeper into the controversy.
It is certainly not the best look when you think about the conversation surrounding Reese. Many are making some ugly claims about the LSU champion. Additionally, Barstool’s problematic history is being placed at the forefront. At this point, it remains to be seen whether or not Gillie Da Kid and Wallo will reconsider their partnership with Barstool, especially when you consider the recent backlash. Subsequently, let us know your thoughts on the situation, in the comments below.
Everybody knows what barstool stands for and what they are on. When you decide to get money with them you decide to endorse this type of bullshit. I don’t wanna see none of these videos no more. Stand on your decision or separate but stop playing both sides. https://t.co/QfpWcgjsEt
As Hip Hop continues to mourn Takeoff, the tension rises between Offset and J. Prince. It was rumored that Offset and his fellow Migos groupmates weren’t in the best of places when Takeoff was killed. Still, the late rapper was more than Offset’s Rap peer—they were cousins, and his loss devastated their family. Recently, J. Prince touched on the controversy while visiting Million Dollaz Worth of Game, which provoked a passionate response from the Migos rapper.
Prince’s name has been woven into conversations about Takeoff’s death. The rapper was in Houston with members of the Prince family when he was shot and killed at a private party. After a video of J. Prince Jr. walking past Takeoff’s body went viral, his father fiercely defended his name. J. Prince’s MDWOG appearance was widely criticized, and he’s upping the ante with an Instagram post targeting Offset.
During Prince’s podcast interview, he said, “This Offset dude. I ain’t gon’ leave him out because I’m real like this, you now? N***as be throwin’ rocks and hidin’ their hand.” He further added, “And the truth of the matter is, one can dance and different things in front of different cameras and all kinds of shit… You wasn’t really right there with Takeoff when he was alive. So, for you to be taking these positions you are taking – and I got people everywhere so I hear all kinds of things. I’mma just say this to you – don’t ever put me in a position where I got to defend myself.”
Offset angrily responded in a video, which wasn’t lost on Prince. The Rap-A-Lot icon posted a photo of Offset and penned a caption that has earned backlash. “A MESSAGE TO THE MAN THATS OFF,” Prince began. “To those of you that still live on principles over emotions that know and respect me it’s all good. I don’t care about the media hoes; they eat sh*t for a living. We live on different planets and breathe different air if you know what I mean.”
“I only display loyalty and friendship to my brothers and sisters until they show me they’re unworthy,” he also stated. “Never been a bully or lived a life where I abused my power on the weak. No matter what you heard; it’s cap. I’m glad I’m not one of those individuals that my family has to hold their head down when my name is mentioned. So excuse me while I deal with these clowns because ain’t nobody gonna tell them the truth like I’m a give it to them.”
Prince also alleged that Offset made threats against him and his family. He questioned why the rapper didn’t call him to address his concerns. Check it out above.
Offset is not taking kindly to remarks made by J. Prince during his Million Dollaz Worth of Game interview.
In the episode, hosts Wallo267 and Gillie Da Kid sat down with J. Prince and the Prince Family, clearing the air on numerous issues, including the death of Takeoff.
At the tail end of the interview, J. Prince turned his attention toward Offset.
“This Offset dude, I ain’t gone leave him out. I’m real like this. N***as throw rocks and hide they hands, and I don’t like them kind of individuals. The truth of the matter is, one can dance and different things in front of cameras and different kind of shit, but in reality, n***a, you wasn’t really right there with Takeoff when he was alive.”
He would go on to say he has people everywhere and hears different types of conversations.
“Don’t ever put me in no position where I have to defend myself, that wouldn’t be healthy for you,” J. Prince said. “I’m going to give it to him right on ‘Million Dollaz’ Worth of Game’ because I ain’t gone throw rocks and hide my hands. I’m going to let it be known to him ’cause I hear what’s being said.”
He added, “It’s all love after that. Peace.”
In response, Offset blasted the three men for continuing to take interviews and speak on his relationship with Takeoff.
“Y’all n*ggas speaking on my real brother… I don’t know what the f*ck ya’ll n*ggas got going on, y’all n*ggas talkin’ about my real brother,” the Migos MC said in the minute-long black and white clip. “How dare one of y’all n*ggas even speak on me and Take relationship. I don’t know you n*ggas from a can of paint. Ya’ll n*ggas don’t know how me and my brother rock.”

The takeaways from J. Prince’s interview on Million Dollaz Worth of Game has Hip Hop talking. The Rap-A-Lot icon has been hailed as the person to connect with when rappers swing through Houston, but Prince denied forcing anyone to check in with him or his team. It’s a practice that is widely talked about in Hip Hop as something artists need to do in order to maintain safety while traveling to touring.
As Prince faces pushback for his family’s movements immediately following Takeoff’s murder, he flat out denied “check in” gossip. “Never. We don’t have time for no sucka sh*t like that,” Prince told MDWOG. “A lot of people from the different police departments to all these different people wanna insinuate like we extorting people and they have to check in.”
“Man, that ain’t no money in that sh*t,” he further emphasized. “I got more money than I can spend, right? That sh*t ain’t gon’ work. It ain’t gon turn out right, ’cause real n*ggas ain’t gon’ have that no way. Check-in for what?” However, Prince seemed to suggest that having his reputation does come with benefits.
“But on the flip side, there is what you call a brownie point to being able to have us as friends. I don’t wanna impose or force myself to embrace nobody,” he added. “By the same token, those that I respect and I befriend, there is a difference coming into this city as our friend versus by yourself. And the difference is: we all respect it.”
This interview with MDWOG has received backlash, and hosts Gillie Da Kid and Wallo are feeling the pressure. In a teaser prior to the podcast episode’s release, Gillie said he approved of the interview wih Prince because the veteran music executive had a sit-down conversation with Pierre Thomas. The Quality Control Music leader, along Hip Hop as a culture, continues to grieve the loss of Takeoff. Prince’s comments about Offset and Takeoff during the interview rubbed people the wrong way. It’s a controversy that is ongoing. Check out more below.
Just before Quavo took to the Grammys stage to memorialize Takeoff and other musicians we lost last year, J. Prince sat down with Million Dollaz Worth of Game. It’s an interview that has quickly swept through Hip Hop as Prince opened up about the night Takeoff was murdered in Houston at the top of November 2022. The Migos star was said to have been an innocent bystander at a private event when he was shot and killed. Reports claim there was a verbal disagreement about a dice game that Takeoff wasn’t even a part of.
J. Prince’s son was at the scene and was spotted on video walking past Takeoff’s body. People called him out for alleged callous behavior, but Prince insisted they did all they could. Elsewhere, he also called out Offset for speculated tension with Takeoff just prior to his death. “In reality, the truth of the matter is you wasn’t really right there with Takeoff when he was alive, you know what I mean?” said Prince.
Prince added, “So for you to be taking these positions that you’ve taken—and I’ve got people everywhere, so I hear all kinds of things—I’mma just say this to you. Don’t ever put me in no position where I have to defend myself. That wouldn’t be healthy for you. I have to say that.” Offset clapped back, but among conversations from fans have been criticisms toward Gillie Da Kid and Wallo. The Million Dollaz Worth of Game hosts were called out for allegedly facilitating a space where a potential beef could brew.
The podcast has long attempted to educate those in the streets about making better choices. Gillie and Wallo deliver inspiring messages to those who have faced trouble with the system, and their critics questioned this interview with allegations of divisiveness. They haven’t addressed the backlash just yet, but comments continue to pour in. Check out a few reactions below, and let us know if you think the J. Prince interview was inappropriate.
Not one lie was told! Wallo & Gillie allowing J Prince to come on their platform & call people snitches is bottom tier coonin!! Nobody cares about who snitched when somebody innocent died on your watch, a innocent woman was also shot in the head, luckily she lived https://t.co/FuF3yqM7AFpic.twitter.com/RS8Wt6Y6Ow
I’m so disappointed in @mworthofgame The fact that Gillie can think J Prince speaking with P from QC can make right the death of Takeoff to then give him a platform is insane. J Prince needs to be speaking with Takeoff’s parents, who gives a damn if he and P see eye to eye. SMH pic.twitter.com/94StXpKkeA
Ain’t no mfer way Gillie and Walo let J Prince come on they podcast and threaten Offset and take no accountability for Takeoffs death Fuck type shit is that you niggas ain’t bout shit boy …
Gillie and Wallo terrible for this interview. Folks was tough as hell on YSL and civil as hell with J Prince . And this why young niggas don’t respect old niggas.
Who yall niggas is, John Gotti Offset and Takeoff’s relationship was family business and J Prince should not have spoken on that. But let’s discuss how Gillie was looking at Mike Prince and them newborn baby tears.
Gillie and Wallo some hoes! Wallo was in tears during Durk’s interview about stop the violence. Real tears! And I felt that, but ain’t have shit to say to J Prince old ass threatening to harm MORE BLACK PEOPLE. The industry crazy.
The new episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game will ruffle some feathers. Hosts Wallo267 and Gillie Da Kid sat down with J. Prince and the Prince Family, clearing the air on numerous issues, including the death of Takeoff.
At the tail end of the interview, J. Prince turned his attention toward Offset.
“This Offset dude, I ain’t gone leave him out. I’m real like this. N***as throw rocks and hide they hands, and I don’t like them kind of individuals. The truth of the matter is, one can dance and different things in front of cameras and different kind of shit, but in reality, n***a, you wasn’t really right there with Takeoff when he was alive.”
He would go on to say he has people everywhere and hears different types of conversations.
“Don’t ever put me in no position where I have to defend myself, that wouldn’t be healthy for you,” J.

I’m going to let it be known to him ’cause I hear what’s being said.”
He added, “It’s all love after that. Peace.”

As Patrick Clark’s legal team fights accusations that he killed Takeoff, J. Prince is also defending himself again naysayers. Takeoff and killed in Houston at a private event, and the Prince family quickly found their names missed up in controversy. J. Prince Jr. was at the party, and in a video shared online, he was seen walking by Takeoff’s lifeless body. He was accused of being callous to the late rapper, but his father has repeatedly rejected those claims. He once again addressed the scandal on Million Dollaz Worth of Game.
Host Gillie Da Kid admitted that when they first received a request from Prince’s team to appear, he was apprehensive. Takeoff’s untimely death has been riddled with speculation, and it seemed that MWOG wanted to tread lightly. “When I got the call from you, you know OG, we was a little reluctant to do the interview because somebody lost they life. It was a sensitive situation,” said Gillie.

“So, we talked, and then when you alerted me that you had sat down with [Pierre Thomas] from [Quality Control Music] and everybody saw things eye-to-eye,” Gillie further added. “As long as you see eye-to-eye with the people that’s most close to him, y’all got everything figured out, then you can come speak your truth.”
Last month, the Rap-a-Lot icon called the stories about his son dismissing Takeoff in his time of need false. “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 an 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.”
The investigation into Takeoff’s murder is ongoing. Police stated that the Migos icon was an innocent bystander who caught a stray bullet from an argument he wasn’t involved in. Watch the clip of J. Prince on Million Dollaz Worth of Game above.
The Million Dollaz Worth of Game brand is flourishing. Under the leadership and wise words of Wallo267 and Gillie Da Kid, the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast has become one of the media staples of Hip-Hop as the hosts execute in-depth conversations with the brightest and biggest stars in the game.
Through their insightful questions and doses of digestible gems, Wallo and Gillie have become two of the most influential and insightful voices in the game. In a conversation with The Source, the star podcast duo detailed how they manage to keep their brand successful, giving back to the community alongside Bar Stool Difference and more.
For people who may have come across your brand or you two individually but don’t know a lot about your history, how did Million Dollaz Worth of Game come about?
Wallo267: Well, he’s been doing that for years. I was in prison, and Gillie used to do these posts on Instagram for a Million Dollaz Worth of Game. He had an album come out called Million Dollaz Worth of Game. You know, this guy was giving 15 seconds on Instagram. He said a little, you know, give you some game. And it’s always been that, and a couple years ago, we decided to do a podcast. A lot of people were asking us for it. We saw that Spotify wasn’t playing, cutting the checks about it. So we said, let’s jump in the game. We jump in, and in the first week, we are on top of the charts, so we keep going. This is my cousin. So I did time, and we always used to be together before I went to jail. Back in the day, we started a group called Major Figures, but I went to prison. But when I came back home, we went right back to living life.
Have you ever really considered how much of a blessing your presence is to your viewership? That energy shows for sure. As you said, you’re putting out that Million Dollaz Worth of Game to people, but it’s entertaining.
Wallo267: You know us. We just share our real life. He and I have been around some real stuff from the streets and life. We connected to a lot of different people and situations where we got a lot of information to share with these guys and hopefully upgrade their life.
You all are also providing blessings in the Bar Stool Difference platform in your hometown of Philly and expanding nationwide. I saw a video with the Fathership Foundation, and it was just like so much raw emotion in that. How does it feel to be able to impact your community?
Gillie Da Kid: Man, it’s a beautiful feeling. Cause one thing about us, we always help people. We are always willing to give our time and try to do things with people that are less privileged, especially minorities and the ghetto, because that we come from. So we have always been doing this, but it’s a little different to help people and see the expressions. It is indescribable. You gotta appreciate and feel it. I can’t put into words the feelings of witnessing these people be so thankful and appreciative when somebody comes to save their business or help their nonprofit.
Wallo267: The reality is some of these people have never been given anything in life. So for somebody to come through and bless you was an unbelievable feeling because they like everything I got, I worked hard for. Nobody ever gave nothing.
What attracted Bar Stool to you guys to be the platform of your choice?
Gillie Da Kid: Because David Portnoy is kind of like a Caucasian version of myself. He speaks his mind. He don’t care about no people’s feelings. And I understood that he was controversial. And the one thing about him is that some people go through a controversial time, and Dave, that doesn’t break him. You know, Dave is an unbreakable person. And I understood that. I might sometimes say something that I actually didn’t mean to say, or it might have come out the wrong way. And if I ever had to go through some controversy, I knew Bar Stool would stand with me. Cause that’s what they built for. They have already been through that process. A lot of these companies, soon as you go through a little something, drop you.
What was the origin of the Difference program? Was there a mutual interest in helping, and it came together, or did you bring the idea to them?
Wallo267: It already was in existence. When Covid happened, somebody challenged Dave to help people, and he went and raised a ton of money. e even saved the terminal market here in Philadelphia that was going to go out of business. There was a bunch of money raised, and they came to us to ask, “what y’all wanna do?” We talked with Erika about it. Shout out to Erika Nardini. She is a major reason we came over there too. We got together, and next thing you know, we were passing this money out.
Gillie Da Kid: But honestly, they had the money for businesses all over the country, and a lot of African American businesses and minority businesses didn’t apply. And that’s where we come in. Cause when we tell you to apply, you will apply.
Your podcast experience is different in general. I love that y’all aren’t confined to a studio space. You all came to Chicago in an episode and were hanging out with Lil Durk. Y’all will pop up anywhere. What experiences with the pod are where you had your best time?
Gillie Da Kid: For me, Lil Durk is one of my favorite artists. So definitely going to Chicago and sitting down with all those youngins in the streets – that was everything for us. But I also enjoyed DaBaby. We went to DaBaby’s house the second time, and I enjoyed the hospitality and realness that he got with him. I appreciated that interview a lot. Young Thug interview, he ain’t want us to leave the studio. We were there for six, seven hours; it seemed like. We went to Kevin Durant’s house, I’m a big sports guy, and he’s one of the greatest of all time. King Von, because you look back at the situations that they are in and the advice we gave him when King Von was here and the things that King Von said really it home.
It’s so many podcasts out there, and y’all stay on top of your game and on top of listeners’ minds. How do you manage the business side of it and keep it fun? And in addition to that, do you feel like you compete with other podcasts that are out?
Wallo267: No, we are not in competition with nobody because that’s not our thing. Our thing was just to do us, and we were locked in a space nobody wanted to mess with. Nobody wanted to mess with the young folks. Nobody. So we connected with them. We gave them a platform, looking out for the young boys, and nobody focused on that. So we are not in competition with nobody. We don’t see nobody in that way. It’s enough money for everybody. It’s enough space for everybody on this planet. We stay on top of our game because we ain’t gotta act. We get up and be us all day.
It is also fun for you all. I think back to just even the recent clip of you with Burna Boy. It shows the depths of who you both are as individuals. Who else would you like to talk to, and where else would you like to go?
Gillie Da Kid: I want to get Drake.
Wallo267: I want Michael Jordan.
Gillie Da Kid: I want Denzel Washington, Will Smith, people like that. I want to interview one of the Kardashians. What they have been able to do out here has been tremendous. Our whole family that’s worked with everybody and a family. Have they worth a billion dollars? There are a lot of people we would like to talk to Kevin Hart, Ryan Garcia, and plenty of names.
In addition to that, what do you envision for the Million Dollaz Worth of Game brand or even individually for yourselves?
Wallo267: Oh, the brand we get big. We got a lot of things we are working on. We don’t like to speak, but rather show. So we just grounded, but it’s some big stuff coming.
