The story goes that P did a verse for Tru, got paid and allegedly did the same verse for another rapper.<\/p>\n<p>Tru took matters into his own hands and claimed he pressed Mobb Deep in a studio with guns in tow. Saigon got involved in defending his close friend and physically fought Mobb Deep at SOBs in New York City in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Saigon managed to patch things up with the Mobb even before Prodigy\u00a0passed away in June 2017 due complications stemming from his sickle cell diagnosis. P was performing in Las Vegas in June 2017 as part of The Art of Rap Tour alongside Ghostface Killah, Onyx, KRS-One and the festival\u2019s founder, Ice-T.<\/p>\n<p>After Mobb Deep performed in extreme temperatures, he was taken to a local hospital where he ultimately died. His team explained in a statement at the time, \u201cIt is with extreme sadness and disbelief that we confirm the death of our dear friend Albert Johnson, better known to millions of fans as Prodigy of legendary NY rap duo Mobb Deep.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mobile outerAdHatch\">\n<div class=\"ad-border\">\n<div class=\"innerAdHatch\">\n<div id=\"contentUnit300\" class=\"adUnits\" inserted=\"shortcode\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cProdigy was hospitalized a few days ago in Vegas after a Mobb Deep performance for complications caused by a sickle cell anemia crisis. As most of his fans know, Prodigy battled the disease since birth. The exact causes of death have yet to be determined.
