There were some who didn't like J. Prince's message about the YBN Almighty Jay's incident. He responded to those critics today.
The Rap-A-Lot records founder posted a message earlier this week about the Alabama rapper getting beaten up and robbed by New York goons, saying it felt like "They Have Robbed A Piece Of Me."
He tagged a bunch of Bronx artists in his message, people like Cardi B, Fat Joe, A Boogie, Hocus and Mysonne, and requested they help find YBN's attackers. (The attackers have been found by the Feds, who just brought them in on unrelated charges.)
Hocus and Mysonne criticized Prince for his message, although both said they had respect for him. The chain snatchers responded to the Houston native and by tauting him on social media.
Here's what Prince said about all of that.
And he was hardly done there.“Let me make myself clear,” Prince began. “I was never asking any of y’all for help in any capacity. I don’t need you, I don’t know you, or trust any of y’all to do anything concerning the streets for me. With that being said I witnessed a clown campaigning, bragging, and snitching on himself on a public video about robbing industry people in your backyard so I took it upon myself to alert the ones I have respect for.”
“It is clear to me that went over some of y’all heads,” wrote Prince. “Just for more clarity Ive been having ties in the Bronx and throughout New York for a long time and now it’s gotten even stronger with my youngstas. So don’t give any of the people I tagged credit for what others earn because they all strangers to me other than music. To all of you so called gangster clowns there’s a time and a place for everything and I’m going to give you what you ask for. To all of you that’s trying to narrow down my message to me wanting a chain lacks the depth of understanding that real street n***as have."
