Havoc has taken a poignant moment to honor his beloved friend and Mobb Deep collaborator, Prodigy, on the seventh anniversary of his tragic passing.
Prodigy, known for his profound impact on the hip-hop community, passed away in Las Vegas on June 20, 2017. His death was caused by accidental choking during a hospital stay related to his lifelong battle with sickle cell disease, a struggle he had been open about throughout his career.

The anniversary of Prodigy’s passing is a solemn reminder of the duo’s incredible legacy and the void left in the music world. Mobb Deep, formed by Havoc and Prodigy, was instrumental in shaping the sound of East Coast hip-hop, with their raw lyrics and gritty beats resonating with fans worldwide.
Their bond went beyond music; it was a brotherhood forged through shared experiences and mutual respect.
In a second post, Havoc shared a nostalgic throwback photo of them together, captioned “Day one’s,” underscoring their deep-rooted connection and history. This simple yet powerful tribute highlights the profound impact Prodigy had on Havoc’s life, both personally and professionally.
Fans and fellow artists flooded Havoc’s posts with messages of support and shared memories, demonstrating the lasting influence of Prodigy’s work and the deep respect he continues to command in the hip-hop community.
His legacy lives on through the music he created and the memories shared by those who knew him best.
