    This is even more tragic than if he were to die from sickle cell.. however I am sure the sickle cell had already made him weak (since thats what he was in the hospital for), which probably made it easier to choke

    • Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy died on June 20 in Las Vegas at the age of 42

    A coroner has confirmed the cause of death of Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy was choking.

    The 42-year-old star died in June after being hospitalized for sickle cell anemia in Las Vegas.

    The rapper, whose real name was Albert Johnson, had to be pulled out of a meet-and-greet after taking ill.

    At the time of his death, friends claimed he died by choking on an egg in his hospital room.

    Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy died on June 20 of choking, it was confirmed on Thursday

    The Clark County Coroner's Office confirmed on Thursday that the cause of his death was indeed choking but they made no mention of the egg when speaking to The New York Daily News.

    Johnson had suffered sickle cell anemia his whole life.

    The condition causes blood cells to take on a curved shape that can then cause blockages in blood vessels and it can be exacerbated by dehydration.

    There were fears at the time of his death that the scorching 110-degree heat he was performing in may have exasperated his condition.

    The rapper was in Las Vegas on the Art of Rap tour, alongside some of hip-hop's most acclaimed talent including Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, KRS-One, Onyx and Ice-T.

    He had performed on Saturday night.

    In a statement, Mobb Deep's publicist said: 'It is with extreme sadness and disbelief that we confirm the death of our dear friend Albert Johnson, better known to millions of fans as Prodigy of legendary NY rap duo Mobb Deep.

    'Prodigy was hospitalized a few days ago in Vegas after a Mobb Deep performance for complications caused by a sickle cell anemia crisis.

    'As most of his fans know, Prodigy battled the disease since birth. The exact causes of death have yet to be determined.

    'We would like to thank everyone for respecting the family’s privacy at this time.'

    As news about Prodigy's death spread, fans took to social media to mourn and commemorate him - as did many of his celebrity peers.

    Both old-school and new hip-hop artists commended the man that they identified as a true talent.

    Mobb Deep came to national attention in 1995 with their hard-hitting sophomore album The Infamous, which was based on the pair's struggle to come up in their Queens neighborhood.

    This is misleading. When Havoc was on Vlad a few weeks ago he said that the autopsy report he saw said Prodigy died from choking while vomiting. The article mentions the coroner's findings but also an egg, which is NOT in the coroner's report, instead "reported by friends"... who, if they were friends, would never say that.

    This boiled my blood when I read it. What an over hard way to go...s---'s got my brain scrambled tbh. Illuminati poached another great just as they were about to be exposed. But on the sunny side, he's no longer suffering from sickle cell. f--- it ima go get baked to not think about this anymore.

    Over medium & over easy.

    But like @Jakey said my friend told me this way back when it was first announced that he died from choking on an egg. I suppose it's legit. That sucks.

    i thought he died from sickle cell. something doesnt seem right, he was going to make a musical about the illuminati and the subject of his last album.
