J Prince might not be as well known as the artists he supports, but he’s well and truly living his best life.
His decades in the music industry have earned him some serious cash, and it looks like his status is continuing to soar thanks to his close relationships with Drake and Kanye West.
So how much is J Prince worth exactly?
Let’s look back at his stellar career so far.
J Prince Net Worth
According to Wealthy Gorilla, J Prince’s net worth is a huge $45 million dollars. This is about £33.3 million pounds.
J Prince has earned most of his net worth as the CEO of Houston-based Rap-a-Lot Records. He’s spent the last 20 years promoting Houston’s rap scene, and supporting new rap artists trying to break into the scene.
It’s not just about money for the producer though. He also works to promote rap and music in underprivileged neighbourhoods, and encourages teens to get into music as much as possible.

Apparently J Prince invests so much time and money into helping underprivileged kids in his old neighbourhood because he wants to give them a chance of structure and success.
“Respect was something that was given to me as a kid who grew up with structure, being instructed to say yes sir, no sir.
From there, it’s just been having a track record as a stand-up individual, knowing what’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong, and the youngsters understand it because we come from the same place. We’re from where the wolves are at.”
Career
The music producer, also known as James Prince, has worked steadily at his craft over the years.
He started out as a disc jockey for a sound system company before he changed his name to J Prince. After that, the star focused on his own rap career for a while, and his single “Victory” did pretty well in the Cross-Caribbean charts.
J Prince became more interested in producing in the end, and supports well known artists such as the Geto Boys, who gave southern rap to the masses.
In 2007, the music producer was honoured by Houston Mayor Bill White for over 20 years of commitment and dedication to the city. The council even had an official James Prince Day too!

While his record label has earned him some serious acclaim, J Prince is also well known for being the person who had originally introduced Drake to Lil Wayne and helped him get signed to Young Money Entertainment in 2009.
But J Prince’s time with Drake hasn’t always been smooth sailing…
Playing Peacemaker
J Prince has continually backed Drake since day 1, but the star has had some serious beef with Kanye West over the years.
They’ve been using every opportunity possible to take swipes at each other– in interviews, tweets, songs. You name it.

Apparently Drake even made a move on Kim Kardashian after she split with Kanye in 2021.
Things got pretty petty between Drake and Kanye until J Prince finally stepped in to diffuse the drama.
In a series of tweets, J Prince revealed:
“I met with @kanyewest [last] night in Htown at the Rothko Chapel….
I met with @kanyewest to pass on the message from my brother Larry Hoover who said he would like to see peace between the two of them [Kanye and Drake]. Ye received this well and said thanks because he never had anyone that sat him down and explained things to him the way I did.”
So for now at least, Drake and Kayne are friends again. How long it’ll last is anyone’s guess…
