50 Cent LEAKS J Prince Jr. & Boosie SET UP Duke The Jeweler │ Boosie WARNS 50 | HO

July 17, 2025

There’s drama, there’s beef, and then there’s the kind of scandal that makes the entire hip-hop world stop and stare. The murder of Duke the Jeweler has become one of the most explosive stories in recent memory, and the plot just thickened after 50 Cent started leaking details and receipts that point the finger straight at Houston power broker J Prince Jr. and Baton Rouge’s own Boosie Badazz.

With federal agents circling and the streets buzzing, the question on everyone’s mind: Did Duke the Jeweler get set up by the very people he thought were his friends?

A Night of Dice, Diamonds, and Danger

It all started innocently enough. Duke the Jeweler, a self-made Chicago native who’d built his name and fortune crafting iced-out pieces for the biggest names in the game, landed in Houston. His mission?

To deliver a million-dollar Louis Vuitton duffel filled with custom jewelry to Boosie, who allegedly invited him down personally to talk about a new piece. But as anyone in the industry knows, Houston’s not just about business—it’s about who you know, and where you roll.

The night before his murder, Duke was spotted gambling with Boosie, J Prince Jr., and a crew of Houston heavyweights. What was supposed to be a friendly dice game quickly turned sinister.

According to insiders, Duke was on a hot streak—rolling loaded dice that weren’t meant for him, and winning big. “Bloodstained dice rolled across the velvet table. Everyone smiled, but only one man would walk out alive,” one source said, painting a picture straight out of a mob movie.

The Mob Ties Playbook

Here’s where it gets messy. Word on the street is that J Prince Jr. runs a loaded dice ring, and it’s always the same three guys at the table: Lil Cam, Big Capri, and Wolf.

These aren’t just random names—they’re the designated “dice rotators,” passing the loaded dice among themselves to make sure the house always wins. But that night, Duke broke the system. He started winning back-to-back, draining stacks from the table and putting a dent in the Mob Ties’ pockets.

And when someone breaks a rigged game, the people behind it panic.

Allegedly, J Prince Jr. takes a 30% cut of every dice night haul, so Duke’s lucky streak wasn’t just bad luck for the house—it was a financial threat. Add to that Duke’s confident, flashy energy—dripping in diamonds, tossing stacks like confetti, and filming it all for Instagram—and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.

According to leaked audio from Wack 100, the tension in the room was real. Boosie made a subtle whistle, his nephew locked eyes with Duke, and another man in a red hoodie gave a signal. Within minutes, Duke was dead.

A Robbery That Wasn’t

Here’s where the story takes a turn that’s almost too wild to believe. After the dice game, Duke left the venue alone—no security, no entourage, just a million dollars in jewelry and a bag full of unreleased designs. Minutes later, shots rang out. Duke was ambushed and killed in a dark Houston parking lot.

But here’s the kicker: nothing was stolen. Duke’s jewelry, his cash—everything was left on his body. “Duke didn’t get robbed. He got executed,” one insider told us. “And not by some masked strangers in an alley. He died after leaving Boosie’s dice game, surrounded by people who dapped him up one minute and might have been sending signals the next.”

The million-dollar Louis Vuitton bag? It didn’t vanish. It turned up inside Boosie’s house. Houston PD confirmed it. Whether Duke handed it over for safekeeping or Boosie took it after the fact remains unclear. But the bag made it back to Boosie. Duke did not.

Boosie’s Shaky Alibi

Boosie’s response to the tragedy was a shaky Instagram Live from a private jet, where he claimed he barely knew Duke: “He was walking to his car or something, and some dude tried to rob him. I had just met dude yesterday.” But fans weren’t buying it. How do you invite a man to a private dice game, let him walk out alone with a million in jewelry, and then claim you barely know him?

Boosie’s story kept changing. “We was in a garage. He must have walked outside to the parking lot. We heard something, but it was far away. He must have went to his car or something, bro.” But if Boosie was so concerned, why didn’t he offer Duke any protection? Why didn’t J Prince Jr., the so-called king of Houston, make sure an out-of-towner carrying that kind of heat was safe?

Federal Heat and 50 Cent’s Receipts

The feds aren’t buying the story either. After years of sniffing around Boosie for other legal issues, they split Duke’s case into a standalone federal investigation. No delays, no stacking it behind gun charges—just laser focus on what happened to Duke. They tracked Duke’s last phone ping to Boosie’s recording studio. The phone went dark after that, likely turned off manually. Forensics found prints from Boosie’s nephew and cousin inside Duke’s rental car.

Witnesses came forward. One, who was outside smoking, said they saw Duke walking alone to his car. Everything seemed normal until Boosie’s nephew allegedly slid out from the shadows. Duke, sensing danger, swung first but didn’t stand a chance. In one quick motion, Boosie’s nephew allegedly pulled the trigger. No attempt was made to stage a robbery. Why? Because it wasn’t about stealing. It was about silencing.

And then, instead of covering their tracks, they kept the bag. That’s not sloppy. That’s arrogance.

Enter 50 Cent. Never one to shy away from controversy, 50 started reposting clips, sharing receipts, and dropping not-so-subtle hints on social media. “Blood on Mob Ties’ hands,” he wrote, making it clear he thinks the setup came from inside the house. The whispers are turning into warrants, and the whole Mob Ties circle—Boosie, J Prince Jr., Lil Cam—are being watched.

The Check-In Culture Turns Deadly

Houston’s infamous “check-in” culture is now under a harsh spotlight. Artists, influencers, even athletes know the rule: if you’re moving through Houston, you check in with J Prince Jr. and Mob Ties, or you’re playing with fire. But what happens when the people you’re checking in with are the ones setting you up? J Prince Jr. hosted the dice game Duke attended. He also hosted the dice game where Takeoff was killed just weeks later. Two men, both dead after rolling dice with the same circle.

Even Wack 100 couldn’t stay silent. He called out the “loaded dice crew”—Lil Cam, Wolf, Big Capri—for running a scam ring and luring outsiders into games they can’t win. “The only way they could get their money back was how money back,” Wack said. “He didn’t even know the dice was loaded. He just thought he was hitting. These [expletive] got mad as hell.”

Boosie’s Empire Under Siege

Now, the fallout is spreading. Sources say artists are quietly distancing themselves, labels are pulling out of Houston events, and Mob Ties is becoming radioactive. Even Finesse2Tymes, once a Mob Ties favorite, is airing out grievances. First, he stopped showing up around J Prince Jr. Then the rumors started: beef over a woman, Finesse’s baby mama, and the possibility that J Prince Jr. got her pregnant. Whether true or not, the silence speaks volumes.

Meanwhile, the feds are tracing every dollar through Boosie’s estate, checking his Baton Rouge mansion, his Georgia land, and his son’s digital trail. Boosie’s not just being investigated—he’s being surveilled. His own girlfriend allegedly told someone he ran back inside the night Duke was killed, clearly hiding something. Yet Boosie keeps pretending he knew nothing.

The Mob Ties Collapse?

With 50 Cent leaking details and the feds turning up the heat, the Mob Ties empire looks shakier than ever. The threads are crossing: Boosie’s name tangled with J Prince Jr.’s, both under pressure after Takeoff’s death, and the streets talking more than ever. All it takes is one person to flip, one witness to sell video to TMZ or the feds, and it’s game over.

The hip-hop world is watching. Will Boosie be the first to speak? Will Finesse2Tymes finally air out what really happened? Or will 50 Cent’s obsession with exposing Mob Ties push J Prince Jr. to break the code of silence and save himself?

One thing’s for sure: the collapse has started. The whispers are turning into hard knocks, and the feds are closer than ever to blowing the lid off Houston’s deadliest secret.

Stay tuned. This is only the beginning.
