New details are emerging on the sudden death of rapper Prodigy. According to sources, he was working on producing an Illuminati musical. Music journalist and longtime friend Kathy Iandoli spoke out today about his sudden death and the upcoming endeavor.
Kathy claimed Prodigy was very passionate about all his projects especially, the Illuminati musical. “The one thing we were planning on doing was a musical about the Illuminati and how the obsession with the Illuminati infiltrated people’s opinions of hip-hop,” she told Complex. “We were initially going to do an interactive type of musical with a company that runs The Illuminati Ball, but then we decided to take our idea to an off-Broadway situation”.
”And of course we don’t even know if it exists, but what Prodigy would really speak about was the idea of people using it as a meal ticket. Thinking that, if you get to Illuminati levels of hip-hop, it’ll get you something more than the information that you absorb. So the lead character [in the musical] was someone who took this information the wrong way and did something ridiculous because of it,” she said.
TMZ claims Prodigy choked on an egg while at the hospital, but no word yet if that was the cause of his death. Prodigy was pulled from his meet and greet in Las Vegas and even told Ice-T that he was going back to the hotel to get some rest. When the symptoms worsened, he was rushed to the hospital.
Speaking of his battle with the sickle cell disease, Kathy explained he wasn’t in a dire situation at the time of his death. “Sickle cell is a funny thing. It can erupt and then you’re sick for a while, but then you get better. I think Prodigy certainly had his ups and downs with sickle cell flare ups, but he wasn’t on a consistent decline. This was a down where you would’ve assumed another trip to the hospital and it’d be taken care of. But as far as anything to suggest that he was on a severe decline? No. ”
RIP Prodigy.
