In what was one of his last interviews, Prodigy went into full detail about his battle with sickle cell disease with Dr. Siri aka “The Therapist” on Viceland. P who lost the fight to sickle cell and passed away a few weeks ago, went full scale about living with the disease.
Along with details of his battle with sickle cell anemia, Prodigy talked about the importance of having a healthy diet, spirituality, encountering a UFO and a black shadow after getting ill for the first time in six months, and more.
About living with sickle cell Prodigy said, “It’s excruciating pain. It’s to the point where I can’t even move. They have to pick me up or put me in a wheelchair and carry me to the hospital. I can’t move my body. I can’t move my legs or anything. The pain is just incredible.”
His interview with “The Therapist” on Viceland aired Monday, but you can watch it below.

Nas was the first one to report Prodigy’s death last month. Esco paid tribute to his fellow QueensBridge rapper at the Woo Hah! Festival in the Netherlands, by doing a rendition of Mobb Deep’s infamous “Shook Ones, Pt. II.”
While performing the tribute song, Nas asked the audience to wave their hands for P and chant “R.I.P. Prodigy!” To wrap up the performance Nas showed P love by yelling, “We love you, Prodigy.”
Throughout their careers Nas and Prodigy had some highs and lows. The two once feuded on wax and eventually talked it over and reconciled. Both Esco and P collaborated on a medley of tracks like “It’s Mine,” “Self Conscience,” “Eye for a Eye (Your Beef Is Mines),” “Queens Day,” and others.
Prodigy lost a long battle to sickle cell anemia on June 20th, 2017 in Las Vegas. He has been fighting the disease for about 20-years. Many rappers paid their respects to P at his funeral in New York last month. R.I.P. P.

Prodigy performed in Vegas over the weekend along with Mobb Deep’s second member, Havoc, Ghostface Killah, Ice-T, KRS One, Onyx, and others as part of the “Art of Rap” tour. Last week he also performed at Hot 97’s “Summer Jam” concert.
In the early 90s, Prodigy along with Havoc created Mobb Deep in the Queensbridge section of New York City. The duo spawned eight albums with their biggest hits being “Shook Ones” and “Quiet Storm”. In Paul Edward’s 2009 “How To Rap” book he called the group, “one of the most critically acclaimed hardcore East Coast Hip-Hop groups.” Prodigy also released eight albums of his own and his biggest solo hit was “Keep It Thoro”.
Rest In Power, Prodigy.
