Entertainment: D12 rapper killed in nightclub shooting
(The Associated Press)
Proof, a member
of rap group D12
and a close friend of Eminem,
was shot to death
early yesterday at a nightclub
along Eight Mile, the
road made famous by the
2002 film that starred Eminem
and in which Proof
had a bit part.
The death of Proof —
real name Deshaun Holton
— was confirmed by Dennis
Dennehy, the publicist
for D12’s label, Interscope
Records, as well as by Detroit
police spokesman
James Tate.
“Memorial service arrangements
are still being
made, and his friends and
family would appreciate
privacy during this difficult
time,” Dennehy said in a
statement.
Eminem and Proof, 32,
were seldom seen in public
without each other. Proof
was the best man at Eminem’s
wedding in January
and they have been close
friends since before Eminem
became a superstar.
The music video for the
Eminem song Like Toy Soldiers
shows Eminem pacing
a hospital hallway as
doctors try to revive Proof,
who has been shot. Later,
Eminem attends Proof’s funeral
as the song’s lyrics lament
the escalation in violence
between rappers.
Proof was shot inside a
small bar in a strip of businesses
along Eight Mile,
which is the dividing line
between Detroit and its
northern suburbs. Tate said
two people were shot in
the head — one fatally. He
said an argument at the
C.C.C. nightclub escalated
into gunshots.
The other victim — a 35-
year-old man — was listed
in critical condition, Tate
said.
