People said they couldn't believe the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" hosts let Prince call out Offset while tensions are high.

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.
