50 Cent Speaks On When The Cops Tried To Get Prodigy To Set Him Up

Prodigy, who died today at the age of 42, had his share of legal issues.

He was arrested twice in New York state on gun charges and ended up spending three years in prison for criminal possession of a weapon between 2007 and 2011.
