Prodigy prepares for the release of his Infamous clothing line, says drama is "bad for business."

Mobb Deep emcee Prodigy had a few words of wisdom to share as he spoke on the downfalls of combining beef and business. No stranger to beef himself, he infamously exchanged words with fellow Mobb Deep member Havoc last year via Twitter, Prodigy commented on maintaining a somewhat clean cut persona when dealing with corporate dealings.

“You can’t expect to be squeaky clean,” Prodigy revealed. “You gon’ have some hiccups in the business or whatever. And that’s how it is with us…We make good music I think. And we been consistent. It’s fucked up that our little arguments gotta spill out like that, but sometimes it is what it is. You know what I mean? But my advice to people coming up would be, keep your shit as pristine as possible. Even though everybody know everybody got dirty laundry, try to keep it as close to home as possible. Don’t let that shit spill out into the streets…When you dealing with corporate shit, you want to be as clean and cut as possible.”

Despite the beef-riddled history of Mobb Deep, who have had their gripes with Nas and even the late Tupac Shakur, Prodigy commented on drama with other artists being “bad for business” as he further spoke on the issues that arise when beef and business merge.

“Whatever your environment you gotta adapt to it. And you gotta know that this is business, this is street shit. This is music, this is whatever. You gotta separate certain things. If you take it further than talking it out. If you take it to drama then that’s gonna be bad for business,” said the Queens rapper.

Fortunately for Mobb Deep fans, both Prodigy and Havoc officially squashed their issues with one another at the top of the year with the announcement of their 20th anniversary tour.

Prodigy has seemingly managed to balance both beef and business as he recently linked up with Karmaloop and PLNDR to launch his Infamous clothing line, which features threads inspired by the New York Knicks, his H.N.I.C. album, and more.

"The inspiration for the images is my life. It's about what I like, what I do and what I like to wear. The images are inspired by what's in my head. I thought it would be great to be able to wear my thoughts," said Prodigy while speaking on his clothing line.
