Rapper from D12 Killed - Deshaun Holton (aka Proof)
Deshaun Holton, better known as Proof, was killed early Tuesday morning (4/11/2006) in a nightclub shooting in Detroit. He was part of the Rap group D-12; and a childhood friend of Eminem. He appeared in ‘8-mile’, one of the better movies about the whole rap scene. He also had a small role in the ‘The Longest Yard’ movie with Adam Sandler. RIP!
Trivia: He wanted to use his real name in the movie ‘8-mile’ but wasn’t allowed to by the director. So, being the creative rapper he was, he used it as an acronym:
“I’ll (P)unish (R)abbit (O)r (O)bsolete (F)uture.”
