At one point, Prodigy was one of the biggest young stars in music, performing for sold-out crowds and topping the charts with hits like Mrs. Right and My Girl. The group, managed by music executive Vincent Herbert, had a massive fan base and was considered one of the hottest R&B acts of their time. But now, Prodigy has taken on a new role—stocking boxes for the e-commerce giant.

Fans React to Prodigy’s Career Change
A viral FaceTime call between Prodigy and a fan from his job at Amazon has sparked a wave of emotions online. Some fans expressed sadness that a former superstar is now working a regular 9-to-5, while others praised him for doing what he needs to do.

Reactions ranged from:

“Damn, childhood me is hurt. Mindless Behavior was everything back then.”
“Nothing wrong with honest work, but it’s crazy how the industry will chew you up and spit you out.”
“This is a lesson in how fame doesn’t last forever. Hope he’s doing well.”
The Harsh Reality of the Music Industry
While many remember Mindless Behavior’s peak, Prodigy’s journey reflects a harsh truth—success in the music industry is never guaranteed. Record deals, management changes, and shifts in the entertainment landscape can leave even the biggest stars struggling to maintain their careers.

This isn’t the first time a former artist has been found working a regular job. Over the years, stories have surfaced of other once-famous musicians, actors, and entertainers moving on to everyday careers outside of the spotlight.

What’s Next for Prodigy?
Though Prodigy is no longer performing on stage, fans are hoping he still has music in his future. Whether he’s working at Amazon temporarily or making plans for a comeback, one thing is clear—his talent and impact on R&B music won’t be forgotten.

Would you like to see Prodigy return to music? Or do you think this is just another chapter in his journey?
