"Please keep the OG off IG," said Charlamagne. DJ Envy said in Prince's interview with MDWOG, there was "too much talk."

Hip Hop hasn't been happy with J. Prince after he reignited a verbal war with Offset and Cardi B. Prince has been entangled in controversy following the death of Takeoff. The rapper was murdered during a private party in Houston on November 1. Prince's relatives were at the event, including his son J. Prince Jr., and the family has taken hits from the public about the late Migos rapper.

During his recent Million Dollaz Worth of Game interview, Prince didn't have kind words for Offset. He suggested that Offset and Takeoff weren't on good terms when the latter passed. He also alleged Offset's family doesn't "f*ck with" him, and later, the rapper snapped back in a video.

The exchange could have ended there, if not at least publicly, but yesterday, Prince was back online. He called Offset a "clown" and fake while also claiming he helped Cardi B in Los Angeles when she had alleged gang issues. Offset and Cardi not only replied that he was lying, but Wack 100 stepped in. He agreed with Cardi, saying it was Wack and Big U who came to her aid.

Meanwhile, people have weighed in heavily about the controversy. The Breakfast Club replayed some of Prince's audio insults to Offset and weren't happy. "I think it's all wack. And I got so much respect for J. Prince because of what he built with Rap-A-Lot, but please keep the OG off IG," said Charlamagne. "That voice message on IG, the things he said about Offset on Million Dollaz Worth of Game... It's not what I expect an OG like J. Prince to be doin'."

"That's the type of stuff that's getting these young boys locked up," Charlamagne continued. "So why would you spend your whole life ducking the long arm of the law, only to put a spotlight on yourself. And be online, basically threatening somebody." He added that the entire MDWOG interview was great, but DJ Envy said it was "too much talk."

"The brother died and police are still doing an investigation at this point," added Envy. "And if there was problems—and I'm sure Offset is hurt, and he's traumatized, and he's emotional. He's feeling a way and I know J. Prince and Mob Ties are trying to make sure they protect themselves. They're explaining to people that it wasn't on their watch. I get it. Everybody wants to clear their names, but it's still a police investigation."

Envy encouraged everyone to speak on the phone and not take these sorts of grievances to social media. "It does nothing but take it to another level. And I don't want to see another brother get hurt. Another brother get shot, another brother get killed." Check out the conversation above.
