J. Prince Confronts NBA YoungBoy Over Drake Diss
From HipHopDX:
J. Prince has stepped in to ensure that NBA YoungBoy’s issues with Drake don’t go any further, warning the rowdy rap star to remove the 6 God from his “enemy list.”
YoungBoy threw shots at Drake on his latest album, Richest Opp, which arrived last week, calling him out for apparently refusing to work with him out of loyalty to YB’s fierce rival Lil Durk.
“Talked to Drake ‘cross FaceTime, he wasn’t feelin’ me/ Told me that he fuck with Durk, damn, that shit gettin’ to me/ Told me that he like the shit I’m doin’, but can’t do shit with me/ So when we cross our ways, fuck what you say, bitch, you my enemy,” he rapped on the venomous “Fuck the Industry Pt. 2.”
It appears YoungBoy’s lyrical darts were enough to make J. Prince and Birdman pay a visit to the Baton Rouge native in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he’s currently on house arrest stemming from a 2021 gun arrest in Los Angeles, in an attempt to diffuse the situation.
The feared Rap-A-Lot Records founder posted a photo of their meeting on Instagram on Wednesday (May 17) along with a lengthy message urging YoungBoy to put his disdain for Drizzy to bed.

Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow Arrested In Gang Bust
From NBC New York, where you can read the full story:
Brooklyn rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, who police said are members of the Crips gang, allegedly helped carry out violence against rival gangs in Flatbush in Crown Heights. They were among 32 people charged Tuesday in a 140-count indictment, as the district attorney’s office said the gang is linked to 12 shootings and a murder that was caught on camera.
Police said the group had reach from Brooklyn to Manhattan to New Jersey, with members ordering, orchestrating and wreaking havoc across the area.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said that Sheff G used some of the money he earned from his songs to “help facilitate further gang activity,” including encouraging gang members to participate in violent crimes.
One of those violent acts includes a mass shooting in Brooklyn in which one person was killed and five others were injured. The suspects allegedly pulled up in a car and started firing at members of a rival gang, sending people running down the street, away from the gunfire.
DA Gonzalez said Sheff G ordered the hit — and then as a reward ordered up a fancy dinner at a Manhattan steak house.
