Prodigy Almost Fought Jay-Z?

Rappers' Beef Could Have Gotten Violent

Mobb Deep's Prodigy recently revealed that he and hip hop superstar Jay-Z were almost involved in a physical altercation back when the two were beefing in the early 2000s. P says that he ran into Jay outside Diddy's Justin's restaurant in New York City and things could have very easily gotten ugly.

“We surrounded the front door so he couldn’t get out without seeing us. So I’m standing there waiting to see him and finally he comes from back somewhere,” said Prodigy. “Him and Jermaine Dupri come walking. Jermaine sees us and he was out. Jay’s standing there with two bodyguards approaching us…He puts his hand out, like this, and comes walking up to me like this to shake my hand. So I’m looking at him like I could just really treat him like a rag dog right now like for real. So I shook his hand, ‘What’s up man?’ He was like ‘Yo listen, it ain’t no beef. It’s just music. Let’s keep it just music. There’s no problems son. I just wish you would have came and told me how you felt to my face instead of putting it in a magazine.’ And I’m like ‘Alright cool, there ain’t no beef. We can keep it just music.’"

"And I had thought about it real quick," P continued. "Cause I’m thinking about how I could just really overpower him right now with the security and all that.”
