J. Prince pulls out alleged paperwork on Quavo's affiliate, Willie Bland.

J Prince caused a storm during his recent appearance on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game. Throughout the past few months, many questioned the intentions of Mob Ties in the wake of Takeoff’s death. However, Prince attempted to clear his and his sons' names from any of the chatter surrounding the Migos rapper’s murder.

At one point, J Prince alleges that Quavo’s friend, Willie Bland, began cooperating with authorities in the case. He brought along supposed paperwork that Gillie Da King read during the podcast. Bland stated in the police report that he felt as though Quavo’s life was in harm's way. Bland said he saw one of the men reaching for his weapon. At that point, he threw the first punch since he believe they were going to try and rob Quavo. However, J. Prince refuted Bland's statement, questioning why he’d throw a punch at someone that he knew was armed.

“Clearly, this Bland dude gave a police report that he seen these two guys with guns earlier but these are the same two guys that he decided to punch with his gun out and his them with a gun. What do you think is going to happen?” Prince noted. “Lord know if any of them tried to rob or touch Quavo, it was going to be some real problems.”

Bland allegedly told police about what led up to the shooting. The paperwork supposedly reveals that he provided the names of another individual he claimed also possessed a weapon. Later on, he added that he actually got the gun itself from Jas Prince.

“He giving all kinds of statements on this police report that we have so we could read his name and everything ‘cause he put himself in a position where he’s cooperating and telling a lot of different lies so we may as well shine a light on the real root to the issue which is this homie,” Prince said on the podcast. He added that Jas and Quavo are brothers, so his son doesn’t have any issues with providing the Migos rapper with protection. “Now, you got this clown, and it end up in his hand… this clown saying somebody wanna rob him that gave him a gun,” Prince continued.
