In an interview with The Shade Room Teens, he shared thedetails of his accident, which occurred on Jan. 6.
According to Griffith, he was headed to an interview with his girlfriend, Unique Musick, in the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex after dropping off their son.
While driving in the far left lane of the freeway, Griffith said the brake pad of an 18-wheeler flew off and hit his car, windshield and then the dashboard before striking his face and landing in their son’s car seat in the backseat.
Griffith added that his girlfriend had to take control of the wheel to avoid a collision since the blow knocked him unconscious. Once he regained awareness of his surroundings, he immediately braked as Musick called 911, he told the outlet.
“I was at a loss for words… I guess I was numb,” Griffith said.
Musick said the accident left her in shock: “All I could think about is my son being without his parents, so my main focus was getting us to safety as quickly as possible and getting Prince help.”

Musick shared anupdatewith friends and family before Griffith went in for his first operation.
“Y’all Pray For Prince We We’re In a Crazy accident I’m still in shock he’s going into surgery in the morning my heart is crushed,” she wrote on Facebook.
