It is no secret that the world of hip-hop is filled with drama and conflict, and the recent spat between Ma$e and J Prince over Shakur Stevenson is just another example of the tension that can arise within the industry. Ma$e, known for his hit songs in the late 90s and early 2000s, has always been outspoken and unafraid to voice his opinions. However, his recent comments towards J Prince have sparked a new level of controversy.
The feud began when Ma$e, along with fellow rapper Cam’ron, criticized Stevenson’s performance in his last fight. J Prince, who claims to manage Stevenson, took offense to the criticism and warned Ma$e and Cam’ron in an Instagram post. This led to Ma$e firing back on their podcast, It Is What It Is, where he called out J Prince for his lackluster performance and lack of self-awareness.
Ma$e’s comments not only expressed his dissatisfaction with Stevenson’s tactics but also reflected his disdain for being told what to like or how to express his opinions. He made it clear that art is subjective and that he and Cam’ron should not be attacked for sharing their thoughts on Stevenson’s performance.
We not your little n#####,” Ma$e declared. “The way you talking, I don’t get what you mean. We’re not your little n#####. For real all that big homie stuff that’s for little n#####. Little n##### have big homies. We’re not little n#####, so we don’t even respect big homies. I know killer doesn’t, and for me I never respected n##### in the streets. That’s why I always got the problems I got.”

Furthermore, Ma$e’s assertion that they are not J Prince’s “little n#####” speaks volumes about his stance on respect and hierarchy within the industry. He made it clear that he does not subscribe to the idea of having a “big homie” or being a “little n#####”, emphasizing his independence and autonomy.
Overall, Ma$e’s confrontation with J Prince highlights the complexities of relationships within the hip-hop world. It showcases the delicate balance between expressing one’s opinion and navigating the politics of the industry. While conflicts like this may arise, it also serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up for oneself and not backing down in the face of pressure or criticism. As the saga continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how both parties navigate this feud and whether they can find common ground or agree to disagree.
