Remembering Prodigy of Mobb Deep on his heavenly birthday 🕊️🎂
Born in Hempstead and raised in Queensbridge, Prodigy helped put Queensbridge on the hip-hop map. He and Havoc came up together in New York and rose to fame with Mobb Deep’s raw, unmistakable sound and classics like “Shook Ones, Pt. II” and “Survival of the Fittest.”
Their landmark albums The Infamous and Murda Muzik both earned platinum status, cementing Mobb Deep’s place in hip-hop history. Prodigy passed away on June 20, 2017, at 42. He would have turned 52 today. 🖤
All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.
