J Prince Sends GOONS On Mase & Cam For Exposing Shakur Stevenson | HO

In the ever-evolving world of hip-hop and boxing, drama is never far behind. But when legendary rap mogul J Prince, Harlem rap icons Mase and Cam’ron, and rising boxing star Shakur Stevenson all collide, the result is a powder keg of generational beef, street code, and media spectacle. What started as a few harsh words about a boxing match has spiraled into real-life threats, public humiliation, and a bitter debate over respect, relevance, and reputation.

This is not just another celebrity spat. It’s a revealing look at how old-school street politics still haunt hip-hop, how social media amplifies every slight, and how the lines between entertainment and real danger are as blurry as ever.

The Spark: Cam’ron and Mase Roast Shakur Stevenson

The drama began in July 2024, when Cam’ron and Mase—hosts of the viral sports podcast It Is What It Is—turned their attention to Shakur Stevenson’s latest WBC lightweight title defense. Stevenson, widely regarded as one of the most technically gifted boxers of his generation, had just notched another win. But the fight was slow, defensive, and, in the eyes of many fans, boring.

Cam and Mase didn’t hold back. On their show, they trolled Shakur by posting a video of themselves pretending to fall asleep during his fight. “You boring,” Cam said bluntly. “We don’t want to keep hearing about the sweet science. We’re looking for entertainment.” Mase went even further, saying Shakur should be an undercard, not a headliner, and that fans were walking out and grabbing coffee to stay awake.

Their critique was harsh, but it wasn’t out of line for two New York rap legends known for their unfiltered takes. What made this different was the reaction it provoked—from Shakur, from his manager J Prince, and from the entire boxing and hip-hop community.

Shakur Claps Back: “Glove Up or Shut Up”

Shakur Stevenson, never one to shy away from a fight, quickly fired back on social media. He reposted clips of Mase clowning his performance and wrote, “Same way I felt about his rap career. More famous for his podcast than his failed career.” He called Mase a “fake pastor” for leaving Bad Boy Records to become a minister, and labeled both Cam and Mase as “soft dudes” who never stepped in the ring.

“You know what irks me? When a dude talk boxing but ain’t never glove up,” Shakur ranted. “This fat motherfer Mase and big-teething Cam’ron need to shut the f up.” He challenged them to “glove up or shut up,” and even got a public co-sign from Terrence Crawford, who told Shakur, “F*** them, little bro. Let them know how you feel.”

The tension was real, but most assumed it would stay on IG. They were wrong.

J Prince Enters: “I Handle All His Business Outside the Ring”

J Prince, the legendary Houston boss and Shakur’s manager, wasn’t about to let the slander slide. Known for his decades-long reputation as both a music executive and a feared street figure, Prince hopped on Instagram with a warning: “Numbers don’t lie, haters do. Let the haters say he’s boring and nobody wants to watch him. Sorry to tell you, it’s just a select few of you haters. As Shakur’s manager, I handle all his business outside the ring. In other words, Cam and Mase, I will fade all his shots and take all bets.”

This was more than just sports talk. In the coded language of hip-hop, “fade all his shots” and “handle his business outside the ring” sounded like an open invitation for confrontation. The message was clear: disrespect Shakur, and you’ll have to deal with Prince.

The Backstage Incident: Did J Prince Send Goons After Cam’ron?

Fast-forward to two weekends ago. Cam’ron was in Atlanta, set to appear as a commentator at a boxing and hip-hop exhibition event. But according to multiple insiders, Cam never made it to the mic. Eyewitnesses say he got into a heated exchange backstage with a group of men not affiliated with the event—allegedly there on behalf of J Prince. Whatever was said was enough to make Cam leave the building minutes later.

While no punches were thrown, the message was unmistakable: watch what you say about Shakur Stevenson, or face street consequences. The timing was suspicious, coming just days after J Prince’s son, J Prince Jr., publicly clapped back at Cam and Mase for “dissing his dad.” Fans immediately began speculating that this was Junior’s crew making good on Prince’s threat.

Mase and Cam Respond: “We Don’t Respect Big Homies”

If Prince thought intimidation would silence Cam and Mase, he was dead wrong. On their next podcast episode, the Harlem duo went nuclear. Mase, in particular, mocked Prince for being “60 years old and still trying to be a street dude.”

“You are so lacking self-awareness,” Mase said. “When you give such a lackluster performance and then think you can make threats to people because you gave a lackluster performance… You don’t have the right to tell me what I should like.”

Cam echoed the sentiment, saying he lost respect for Prince years ago. “You 60. What are you talking about? I lost mad respect for you when you had Shakur with you lying about YoungBoy NBA. This ain’t 1982, bro.”

Both Cam and Mase dismissed the idea of “big homies” or street bosses having any authority over them. “All that big homie stuff, that’s for little dudes. We don’t even respect big homies,” Mase sneered. “If you’re 60 years old and still trying to be a street, you failed.”

Generational Divide: Street Code vs. Media Clout

At the heart of this beef is more than just bruised egos. It’s a generational clash between the old guard—embodied by J Prince, who built his reputation on respect, fear, and control—and the new wave of media personalities who thrive on controversy, humor, and viral moments.

J Prince’s approach is rooted in the old street code: disrespect is met with force, and reputation is everything. But Cam and Mase, now in their late 40s, are more interested in media relevance than street validation. Their podcast has become a must-watch because they say what others won’t—and they’re not afraid to clown anyone, even a feared legend.

This divide is playing out in real time, with fans split down the middle. On one side are those who believe Prince is the reason Shakur rose to prominence, praising his mentorship and comparing Shakur to Floyd Mayweather. On the other are those who think Prince’s street tactics are outdated and dangerous, and that Cam and Mase are right to call him out.

Shakur Stevenson: Caught in the Middle

Lost in all the noise is Shakur Stevenson himself. While he’s clearly grateful for Prince’s protection, some fans worry that the association with street politics could hurt his career. Boxing insiders have long whispered that Prince’s control over his fighters is suffocating, and that his involvement in beefs like this could drag Shakur into the wrong kind of headlines.

Still, Shakur has embraced the drama, continuing to diss Cam and Mase as “old and irrelevant,” and accusing them of trolling for clout. When asked about the beef on The Breakfast Club, Shakur shrugged it off: “I can’t really take some of these guys too serious, cuz trolling is what they do on a regular basis.”

Media Fallout: Who’s Winning the War of Words?

As the dust settles, the question remains: who’s winning? Cam and Mase have gained new fans for refusing to back down, with many praising their courage to stand up to Prince. “J Prince is a dangerous man, but I fully understand Mase and Cam not folding,” one fan wrote. Others see the duo as gossip queens who thrive on hate and controversy.

Meanwhile, J Prince’s reputation as the “boogeyman” of hip-hop remains intact, but his methods are being questioned by a new generation that values transparency over intimidation. Some believe his tactics are hurting Shakur more than helping, especially as the boxer tries to build a mainstream, scandal-free brand.

Conclusion: The Cost of Respect in 2024

In the end, this isn’t just about boxing or rap. It’s about the cost of respect in a world where the old rules no longer apply. J Prince’s willingness to send a message—whether through words or goons—shows that the street code is still alive. But Cam and Mase’s refusal to bow down proves that media clout and public opinion are just as powerful.

For Shakur Stevenson, the challenge will be to rise above the drama and let his fists do the talking. For everyone else, the lesson is clear: in 2024, respect is a currency you can’t buy—or bully—your way into. And the world is always watching.
