Havoc has addressed the pain of losing his Mobb Deep partner Prodigy in a new extended interview with VladTV.
The emotional discussion sees Havoc recounting his friend and musical partner’s last days before revealing that he still hasn’t fully accepted that Prodigy is gone.
“I got news that I never would have expected, ever in my life,” Havoc said. “I just knew that it was … a lie, it was a rumor. I’d heard rumors about myself, about P, about other niggas, and they never be true. Especially my homeboy, my dude? That he’s dead?
“And I just had a progress report on him the night before that he good,” he added. “He walking around, he joking, he eating food, and somebody gonna say that he passed away? Like that? I knew it was a lie. But when I came to the realization that it wasn’t a lie, that shit just … It fucked me up. I was pinching myself, literally. It had to be a dream.”
