Cause of death for Mobb Deep’s Prodigy revealed
Hip-hop artist and Mobb Deep co-founder Prodigy died on June 20 while hospitalized in Las Vegas. At the time, his death was presumed to have been caused by complications from his sickle-cell anemia, an illness he’d battled most of his life. Prodigy (real name Albert Johnson) was in the hospital for about a week following a flare-up, which occurred during a meet-and-greet. Now TMZ reports that the coroner’s office has just confirmed that Prodigy (real name Albert Johnson) died while choking on an egg at the Las Vegas hospital.
