The hip hop world continues to react to the news of Prodigy's death, and Diddy paid tribute with an anecdote about the rapper's early, pre-Mobb Deep days.

"A lot of y'all may not know this but after school when they was coming up they used to come to my office at Uptown. I just took a love and a liking to them, and I just wanted to make sure they were protected cause I was the first cat in the industry that had an office...Prodigy was probably one of the nicest cats I've known. Extremely talented. That's my personal Prodigy story. Rest in peace, we love you," Diddy said.
