Back in 2013, Obie Trice spoke to VladTV about his familial connection to late Detroit rapper Proof after Obie learned that his cousin had a daughter with Proof. It was Obie who told Proof about the news when his daughter was around 7, and he added that Proof stayed close with his daughter and the child's mother until his death.

Speaking of his death, Obie Trice shared details that he knew about the situation, but added that there was a lot of unconfirmed hearsay going around. He also spoke about Eminem taking Proof's death harder than anyone in their team, which you can hear more about above.
