Rap legend Prodigy of Mobb Deep was laid to rest in NYC today and several rappers came out to pay their respects. Check out his memorial and more inside…
Last week, Mobb Deep’s Prodigy sadly passed awayat the age of 42. He was hospitalized for a sickle cell crisis after a performance and festival in Las Vegas. He battled with sickle cell anemia since birth, but that never stopped him from making his mark in the Hip Hop world.
Today, he was laid to rest at the Frank E. Campbell "Funeral Chapel" on the Upper East Side and several Hip Hop heads and celebrites came out to pay their respects.
LL Cool J, 50 Cent, Minister Farrakhan, Remy Ma, Fat Joe, Mobb Deep’s Havoc, Ice-T, and Questlove were all in attendance to say their final goodbye.
On Instagram, Fif shared, "I never spoke at a wake or funeral before but I felt like I had to say something at P's Rest In Peace prodigy God Bless."
Pictures from inside the funeral service show the NYC rapper as a young boy and special moments of his life.
Fans also made a memorial for him outside.
Here are a few flicks from the ceremony's program:

We're not exactly sure why the police shut down the funeral, but we do know it was all love between everyone in attendance.
May he continue to rest in peace.
