: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that the recession may be hitting Prodigy of Mobb Deep. According to a lawsuit filed against his former label, Prodigy is claiming that his family is in foreclosure.

Here’s how the NY Post is reporting things:

A Queens-bred rapper is suing a Manhattan music company from behind bars for allegedly failing to pay him more than $30,000 and plunging his family into foreclosure….

"These breaches . . . have put Prodigy's family in financial peril," say documents filed last Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Wasn’t he the dude talking about how his chain cost $100,000. Wow … how things change…

Emmy_gal

FORE REALL!? Its funny to me when celbs go broke.


CalienteBossmami

Mayb he shoulda thought of his REAL family b4 he was busy tryna impress his rap fam & fans!! *Du%b a$$*


Guardian_Angel

Mobb Deep has made plenty of money but when u have to pay lawyer fees and things like that over and over again sh*t like that happens...nobody is immune to hard times these dayz!!!!


phatazz407

This recession is a mofo. What is dude locked up for anyway??


THE_WAY

From the point the dude signed to G-Unit and proclaimed on his record that Curtis Jackson made him rich,I knew he was a certified clown. Mobb Deep was an institution in Hip Hop before anyone even heard of 50 cent. WTF did they do with all the money they made from shows up until that point? The inability of Negroes who actually make dough in this society to consistently end up in such financial straits speaks volumes to the level of their intelligence. Harsh yes but true. This Negro is in his late thirties now. Get it the F together. Less FEMININE jewelery and more common sense BLACK BOYS!!!


THE_WAY

***... to consistently AVOID ending up in such financial straits speaks volumes.....


ImBroke2

$100,000 chain? Can't live that champagne life on a beer budget.


StateFacts101

M-O-BB was the *** back in the day.. What happened!?

U gotta stack bread, not spend it prodigy! Where's Havoc at?


StateFacts101

Doesn't dude have like sickle cell anemia, or some ***?!


TheFashionista

These broke *** and their completely wrong priorities. When are these idiots gonna put their families and future first, before purchasing $100,000 chains and ***? It makes no sense. Then they expect people to feel bad. Kiss my ***.

Some of us have our ducks in a row.......


albow71

He should feel real stupid after all that 50 Cent dik-suckin' he's done & now this???


coldwindsblow

The hnic V-I P, NEEDS TO HURRY UP AND SAVE HIS FAMily Hopefully he can hit 50 for a loan.

gigi2007

@TheFashionista-YOU SAID IT BEST! these ignorant *** fools had a chance to stash away some money for a rainy day, they saw more money than most of us will see in a lifetime. Mobb Deep has been out since the early 90's and granted, they were never a top selling group, but they have seen money. they needed to do like Slick Rick and put their money into buying buildings and property in the hood. wtf is this dude doing in jail? thats another issue. you cant do a *** thing for your family if youre locked up. *** fools.



tupac4life

Pac told these rappers, but they didn't listen.....anyway the money is not in music bless you write your own stuff ,produce it and the a/r by yourself, other than that you makes nothing.. Movies is the way to go especially if it's a teenage or kids movie. I really don't understand why you people think these singers and rappers get paid that much when they don't, believe it or not but the most popular singers or rappers are probably the brokest ones...Don't believe the hype people!


tupac4life

the artist that write they own music, and I mean really write their own music like Ne Yo, Ashanti,keri hilson..etc these people are paid off of residuals and will be getting check for the rest of their life. Why? because they don't have to pay anyone ,they do everything themselves.


K_Tre_662

Didn't he get g unit tatted on him? dUMMY!


bigkidnig

this

guy

is

a

legend

...

i mean PRESIDENT OBAMA!


Geneice87

Do we really care? There are so many other families out here that don't spend their money on unneccessary things and are in foreclosure right now!! Those are the families I care about and should get some help!!!!


ghettofabman

Time to pawn in that change for the mortgage money, Prodigy!


ghettofabman

*chain*, not change.


Dreayonn

Well that's sad y'all. Saying you don't care isn't really necessary. Hopefully Prodigy has learned something from all this. Braggin' about my chain cost more then ur house isn't going to keep you a house. Let's do better people.


BigHands

Sign of the times.


StateFacts101

@Dreayonn: Increase the Knowledge!! I agree.

AND...

BlakGold

When will n*ggas learn...smh.

Stop buying these big *** rims...ridiculously overpriced jewelry...and start a legit business.

N*ggas goin' broke for perpetuatin' stereotypes on TV...and wonder why people don't feel sorry for you. All the records MOB Deep sold???? ***...

...THAT money should STILL be making money for these dudes. N*ggas will learn someday...stop perpetuating the ***' stereotypes.


coco526

If he had spent his money right it wouldn't be this way .Take lessons from other rappers that made bad choices in the way they spent their money on unnecessary things and lost everything


Bigryde

tamra

"his family in forclosure" what the hell.


momo27

@keeno2... they never do isn't that something...it would be diffrent to here them talk about saving instead of spending all the time.


KEEYSHAJ50

WomanOfACertainAge

Yeah it may suck for him, but he probably mismanaged his money, bought depreciating assets like cars and jewelry, so now here he is.....in foreclosure. Maybe he won't be so negrodian next time.

sexxyblack09

Manage your bread right and you wouldnt have issues


yellowberry

this is what happens when u don't becone a c.i. for the nypd, u end up in jail, and ur friend curtis is ur former friend, u wouldn't sell out.....he'd sell u out to not get locked up. meanwhile, u had a 10 year head start on most major rappers today and u have nothing( if anything at all ) to show for it.u shameless ***, ur not a man, u can't put food on the table for ur family when ur in jail. brothas need to aquire things that will retain value and not go to waste in value. when ur dumb *** get out, go to a suzy orman seminar.curtis jackson has money already, tyler perry has money already, will smith has money already and u were around before all of them.u joke *** jim jones-looking c-u-***-t!
