Here's a timeline recounting the feud between Offset and J. Prince following Takeoff's death.
Tempers flared earlier this week when Offset and J. Prince’s feud spilled over to social media in wake of Takeoff‘s murder last year.
While the Migos have issues of their own when it comes to repairing the relationship between Quavo and Set, they’ve agreed to keep quiet when it comes to the tragic shootout that tragically took the life of their family member.
On the other hand, J. Prince has attempted to debunk rumors and clear his family’s name surrounding the deadly shooting, which took place in his hometown of Houston during the early hours of Nov. 1, outside a local bowling alley. The Rap-A-Lot Records founder has publicly addressed Takeoff’s death on multiple occasions in different interviews, which angered Offset — who has remained publicly tight-lipped regarding the circ*mstances surrounding the incident.
Tensions were raised to another level this week when J. Prince and the Mob Ties family appeared on an episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game earlier in February, where the Houston native dissed Set for allegedly not being there for his late groupmate.
While J. Prince maintains there was previously love on both sides from interactions throughout his career with the Migos, the fuse was lit, and that love went to the wayside as the war of words intensified — becoming a trending topic on social media, with Cardi B even chiming in this week. Cooler heads have since seemed to (hopefully) prevail, as Offset promised in his most recent warning shot at Prince that it would be the final time he speaks on him publicly.
Check out our timeline of the J. Prince and Offset feud below.

Two arrests have been made in the case, and the alleged gunman, 33-year-old Patrick Clark, has since posted a $1 million bond. He was released from police custody in January on strict conditions.
J. Prince Releases Statement Following Takeoff's Death (Nov. 3, 2022)
J. Prince paid tribute to the late Migos rapper in an Instagram post where he sent his condolences to Takeoff’s friends and family, in addition to naming Quavo and Offset specifically.
“The Prince family would like to send our condolences to the family and friends of a beautiful soul @yrntakeoff,” he wrote. “To Houstonians and families around the world, this one breaks my heart because Takeoff was a brother, a son, a role model, and a God loving human being. Grief is the price of love; a bill people from across the globe are paying right now as we mourn this loss. I’ve been knowingTakeoff, Quavo and Offsetfor many years and there has been nothing but mutual love for one another and that ain’t going to ever change where we are concerned.
“This shouldn’t have happened. This shouldnt have ever happened in our city. This shouldn’t have been recorded, and this damn sure shouldn’t be circulating across social media for family, friends and fans to see. As I write this I’m angry about the lack of love and respect we have for one another as a race which keeps bringing us back to the same tragic place of black on black killing.”

J. Prince Defends His Family's Actions (Jan. 9)
In the months since Takeoff’s death, plenty of conspiracy theories and rumors circulated on social media regarding what exactly happened to the Migos rapper. J. Prince joinedChris Gotti’s Givin Them the Business podcast on Jan. 9 where the Texas hip-hop patriarch debunked a story going around that his son, J. Prince Jr., walked by a lifeless Takeoff and didn’t even try to help him following the Houston shootout.
“One of the biggest lies that was told that he walked by Takeoff’s body as if he was heartless and didn’t care,” J. Prince said. “In reality, Jr. and my cousin Michael Press they was there with Takeoff from the beginning to the end … He actually went in the restroom to wash blood off his hand when he had to pick him up.”

After hearing that J. Prince spoke with Quality Control boss Pierre “Pee” Thomas, Million Dollaz Worth of Game co-hosts Gillie and Wallo agreed to grant the Rap-A-Lot honcho and the Mob Ties family an interview.
Throughout the bombshell discussion, Prince accused an alleged snitch in Quavo’s crew at the scene of Takeoff’s death of cooperating with authorities named Willie Bland, and he brought the paperwork to corroborate his claims. At the end of the hour-long interview, J. Prince boldly called out Offset for not supporting Takeoff when he was still with us.
“Offset, I ain’t gonna leave him out,” Prince said. “I’m just real like this. N—as be throwing rocks and hiding their hands, right … And I don’t like them kind of individuals. And the truth of the matter is, one can dance and different things in front of all these cameras and all that other s–t.
“When in reality, the truth of the matter is, you wasn’t really there with Takeoff when he was alive. So for you to take the positions that you taking,” he continued. “I’ma 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, but it’s a million dollars worth of game.”

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.”
