The Prince Family trying to save face, but they are actually making things worse from what I’m seeing. Nobody believes anything they talking about. They should’ve let people think what they want and handle things behind closed doors. I get that they have a brand to protect but all this talk they doing don’t seem to be helping their cause.

Offset Denies Rumors From the Peanut Gallery

Update, February 7: Despite Offset’s apparent denial that a fight between him and Quavo occurred at the Grammys, new reports suggest there may have been words exchanged. Cardi B, the “Money” rapper and Offset’s wife, was caught on-camera scolding people backstage, per iPhone footage obtained by ET. “Both of y’all wrong. Both of y’all! This is not right,” Cardi yelled in the clip, though it’s unclear whom she’s telling off. “No, bitches, shut the fuck up. ’Cause you shouldn’t have been talking.” Sources claim Quavo — who performed his tribute song “Without You” solo during the “In Memoriam” portion of the ceremony — instigated the fight when he blocked Offset from joining him onstage. What actually went down remains a mystery (for the blogs to solve).

Original story, published February 6, follows.

Offset doesn’t appreciate the peanut gallery’s commentary on his relationship with Quavo and their late bandmate, Takeoff. Amid speculation that the remaining Migos members fought just before an “In Memoriam” tribute honoring Take at the Grammys, the rapper hopped on Twitter to more or less deny the rumors. “What tf look like fighting my brother yal niggas is crazy,” Offset tweeted on February 6, pretty much shutting down the viral report. It wasn’t the first time he clapped back at rumblings of discord between him and his amigos. The night before, after the Grammys, he responded to comments made by Rap-A-Lot CEO J. Prince that insinuated Offset was not there for the late member while he was alive. “Niggas be throwing rocks and hiding they hand, and I don’t like them kind of individuals,” Prince said on the latest edition of his podcast, Million Dollaz Worth of Game. “In reality, the truth of the matter is, nigga, you wasn’t really right there with Takeoff when he was alive.” The podcast host claimed he had insider information from unnamed sources about the night Takeoff died and issued a warning to Set: “Don’t ever put me in a position where I have to defend myself. That wouldn’t be healthy for you.”

Offset called Prince’s bluff in a video posted as Instagram Stories. “Y’all niggas speaking on my real brother … I don’t know what the fuck ya’ll niggas got going on; y’all niggas talkin’ about my real brother,” the rapper hit back. “How dare one of y’all niggas even speak on me and Take relationship. I don’t know you niggas from a can of paint. Y’all niggas don’t know how me and my brother rock … This your fifth interview.” He went on to accuse Prince of playing “internet games” and being insensitive to the bereaved family, denouncing the “he said, she said” nature of the discourse surrounding the Migos members’ relationships. “Call my phone. We could have a conversation,” he dared Prince.

Club promoter is indicted in killing of Migos rapper Takeoff​

May 27, 2023 at 6:12 p.m. EDT
A DJ and club promoter accused of killing Migos rapper Takeoff was indicted by a grand jury Thursday on a murder charge, court records show.
Police arrested Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, in December on charges he shot and killed Takeoff, whose real name was Kirsnick Khari Ball, after a private party at a Houston bowling alley Nov. 1.

The indictment alleges that Clark did “unlawfully, intentionally and knowingly commit the felony offense of deadly conduct by knowingly discharging a firearm at and in the direction of” Takeoff.
The indictment means the grand jury in Harris County, Tex., found there was enough evidence to formally charge Clark, who is next scheduled to appear in court in August.

Police said at the time of his death that Takeoff had been an “innocent bystander” near an argument outside the bowling alley after what was described as a “lucrative” dice game. Roughly 30 people were outside the venue at the time of the shooting, and Takeoff, who was confirmed dead at the scene, was not involved in the confrontation or dice game, police said.

He was 28.

“We have too many young men of color that are being injured or fatally killed and their future is cut off and family members and friends are left to mourn,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said at the time. “This does not have to be our reality, and it need not be our future.”

Takeoff performed in Migos with his uncle Quavo, 32, and Offset, 31. The three Atlanta rappers’ debut single “Versace,” released in 2013, was deemed “the real song of summer” at the time by Washington Post critic Chris Richards.

The Grammy-nominated group is also known for songs including “MotorSport,” “Walk It Talk It” and “Bad and Boujee,” the first Migos song to rise to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Quavo has described the trio’s youngest member as being the best lyricist of the group. The nephew and uncle came out with their own album, “Only Built for Infinity Links,” a month before Takeoff’s death under the moniker Unc & Phew.

Clark, a DJ and nightclub promoter, has been under house arrest after posting a $1 million bond in January. Clark’s attorney Letitia Quinones-Hollins did not immediately respond to a request for comment but said in a statement to Houston Public Media that the indictment was not unexpected.

“When we get inside a courtroom and in front of a jury,” Quinones-Hollins said, “where we will be able to put on our evidence and cross-examine the state’s witnesses — where the standard of proof is guilt beyond reasonable doubt — we expect the jury will come back with a verdict of not guilty.”
Police have said that video evidence, forensic analysis and scene reconstructions helped them identify Clark as the suspected shooter.
