Statement From Prodigy of the Group Mobb Deep

"With reference to the news regarding events that took place this past weekend in Cohoes, NY, I would like to clarify details about my arrest. Several news outlets reported that crack cocaine was found in the vehicle that was driving our crew, and omitted to specify that the substance belonged to Dave St. Bernard, the driver, who is NOT a part of the Mobb Deep entourage and works for a car service company.

"I was released the same day of the arrest, although, according to some incorrect reports, I'm still in the Albany County Jail. Full details of this arrest can be obtained from the Cohoes, NY authorities.

"I just wanna let Mobb Deep fans know that I am back in the studio working on our upcoming album 'Amerika's Nightmare' due out this February."
