D12 rapper Proof was shot and killed in a Detroit nightclub this morning. Hip hop beef is getting out of hand now. I hope it stops soon because we are losing great rappers left and rightRIP Proof
Wow just wow.Proof is my favourite rapper in D12 besides Eminem.Im speechless. Eminems Toy soldiers video is true now. In the video Proof was shot and Eminem was crying over him.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Proof, a member of the Eminem-fronted Detroit-based hip-hop sextet D12, was killed early Tuesday morning outside a Detroit nightclub in a shooting that left another man in critical condition.According to NBC News affiliate WDIV, Proof (whose real name is DeShaun Holton) suffered a gunshot wound to the head at the CCC Club on East Eight Mile Road, near Gratiot Avenue. By the time police arrived, the club had been cleared out, but several witnesses have come forward to discuss the incident with investigators. A spokesperson for the Detroit police would not discuss the shooting, as the 32-year-old rapper's next of kin have not yet been notified of his murder.Both victims (the other man's name has not been released) were transported to area hospitals; Proof was rushed to St. John Holy Cross Hospital, while the second victim, who is 35 and also sustained a gunshot to the head, was taken to St. John Hospital, where he's listed as being in critical condition. Proof was pronounced dead on arrival.Proof, Eminem's longtime friend, appeared in the film "8 Mile" as Lil' Tic; he also served as Eminem's best man when the rapper remarried his wife Kim Mathers in January (see "Eminem Remarries Ex-Wife Kim Mathers"). Eminem filed for divorce last week.Police are searching for the suspected gunman; a description has not been made available. Detectives have asked that anyone with any information on the shooting come forward.</div>

Never really liked D12, but ace is right, this is just dumb now. All this rap beef is leading to deaths. That is wierd how his video came true though.

Just throwing it out there.</div>There are rumors that Benzino set it up. Another rumor is that the other person that was killed was Kaniva but I doubt it (I hope Kaniva's still alive)
what i meant was, whoever planned the video of proof getting shot could've played a part in this. Like they put in that in the vid bc they were going to kill him later..

Honestly...rock bands don't take <Censored> about eachother, they just go out there and do their own thing. But a lot of rappers being the stupid immature thugs they are rip eachother and like most stupid innercity thugs they shoot eachother... I just don't get it.
