Rumor has it that J. Prince is allegedly behind all of Drake’s recent lawsuit against Universal Music Group.
AllHipHop’s Houston Williams wrote that according to industry chatter, Drake was said to have been pushed by J. Prince, saying that the person who “put the pin in Drake’s back” was none other than J. Prince – causing the rapper to be criticized. Allegedly there are some major plans for changes, including changes to the contract that are said to need to be changed.
During this time, a strange rumor appeared on social networks about Lil Wayne taking on Kendrick Lamar’s position in the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show while Drake was in legal trouble. But Williams called it a “no.”
Williams wrote, “This rumor says that because of Drake’s ongoing legal status, they might replace Kendrick Lamar with Lil Wayne for the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Now, where do you guys get this information? Some The site from India has all this traction about this which is really ridiculous.”
Williams stated that rumors about Drake’s legal situation are baseless, adding: “Drake hasn’t even filed a lawsuit yet! It’s just a pre-suit motion.”
He asked how anyone could expect Kendrick Lamar to be replaced in just a few days for charges that did not result in a conviction.
“Imagine something as big as the Super Bowl being co-opted based on a simple allegation or request?” he added.
While these rumors are unfounded, Williams notes that they are an avenue for further investigation into the overall malaise of the industry.
“Again, this has not been verified or anything like that,” he explained. That’s just what the streets are saying.” “But honestly, it makes sense. Huge paychecks were previously within reach for most artists. Drake is one of the few artists who has been able to leverage his success to get big salaries.”
He continued, “they have successfully eliminated star-like qualities from the culture and it truly seems like these are the last major stars of Hip-Hop.”
What is the connection between Drake and J. Prince?
The relationship between the two began in 2007 when J. Prince signed Drake to the label Aspire Music Group, co-owned by his son, Jas Prince.
According to Uproxx, earlier in Drake’s career, Rap-A-Lot Records founder J. Prince played a key role in helping establish this achievement. He was instrumental in helping the Canadian rapper sign with Young Money Entertainment, the company that ultimately helped make Drake a worldwide phenomenon.
That new attention comes on the heels of J. Prince’s attempt to broker a peace concert between Drake and Kanye West to help promote the release of jailed gangster Larry Hoover life imprisonment.
J. Prince tweeted on November 8, 2021, about stumbling into the West at Rothko Chapel in Houston.
West then shouted an end to his rivalry with Drizzy in a video message that had Drake joining him on stage for a special performance.
Even though they tried to work things out, the guilt only added fuel to the fire.
Drake raps the following verse in “Circo Loco,” from his joint album Her Loss with 21 Savage: “Link to the opps, btch, I did it for J Prince.” This statement makes fans wonder how close the friendship between Drake and Prince really is.
J. Prince is the man behind the careers of many big names, including Z-Ro, Devin the Dude and Geto Boys. His impact on the industry leader brought him into the circle of personalities associated with hip-hop.
