Prince and Pee had a conversation where they were able to see "eye-to-eye."

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.”
