Mindless Behavior Introduces New Member

Apparently, the group lost member Prodigy for some reason, so they have taken to the internet to announce their newest addition in the form of Detroit’s EJ. You can check out pictures, as well as the groups official message, in the gallery above; below, EJ speaks on joining the group:

“I am living my dream and being a part of this project has been amazing and a true blessing! …I plan to do big things with these guys! I am so grateful for the opportunity.”

Mindless Behavior Member Rumored To Be Replaced By Jacob Latimore

Spotted on Kontrol Mag:

Heart breaking news for loyal Mindless Behavior fans everywhere. Kontrol Magazine has been exclusively told that group member Prodigy is no longer with the group. Yes. You read it right. Lead singer Prodigy has left the building.

The group (who have been together since 2008) have enjoyed huge successes with hit singles such as(“My Girl” and “Mrs. Right). They have been a little quiet of late, but I certainly didn’t see this one coming.

Now we cannot give too much away, but the streets also tells us that “Like Em All” crooner Jacob Latimore will be Prodigy’s replacement. Latimore did go on tour with Mindless Behavior and Diggy Simmons for the 2011 Scream Tour “The Next Generation”, so could this shift have been a long time in the works? Hmmm… They seem to have made alternative arrangements pretty swiftly.  Perhaps Prodigy as the lead singer feels that it’s time to go solo? Wouldn’t be the first time would it? (Word to Justin Timberlake).

20 Teens Arrested, 2 Injured In Mall Riot Following Mindless Behavior Appearance

Looks like the fans lived up to the band’s name…from CBS in Chicago:

An appearance by the boy band Mindless Behavior on Saturday afternoon was followed by a youth disturbance that closed Ford City Mall and left at least two people with minor injuries.

Chicago police say teens became disruptive in connection with the scheduled appearance of the tween idols, but mall officials insisted the two events were unrelated.

John Sarama, senior general manager of Ford City Mall, says members of Mindless Behavior finished their two-hour meet-and-greet with fans around 4 p.m. and left. The “family event” was attended by about 1,000 people, mostly mothers and girls, he said.

Trouble started at 4:45 p.m., he said, when a group of “older youths” entered the mall and started causing trouble by yelling, running and using foul language. There was minimal damage inside the mall, he said.

“We were lucky we had Chicago police on the premises. They observed what was going on. It was their directive to close the mall early,” Samara said.

Witnesses told CBS 2 that fights broke out inside the mall and security was not able to control the situation, prompting police to respond. They say the fighting spilled out into the parking lot, where some vehicles were vandalized.

The Chicago Fire Department said two people, an adult bus driver and a juvenile, were transported in good condition to nearby hospitals, and the CTA temporarily suspended bus service around the mall.

Chicago police said there were multiple arrests, but that offenders likely would be charged with misdemeanors.
