 Shady Records recording artist Obie Trice was shot on Michigan’s Lodge Freeway early Saturday morning. According to state police an unidentified gunman shot through Trice’s back window around 1:10am, and Trice exited into the Detroit suburb of Southfield where his girlfriend flagged down police. She was not hurt.
Police initially withheld the place where Trice was hit, but manager Terry Wilson reportedly said the emcee was struck in the head on his way from a party hosted by comedian Mike Epps. Apparently it wasn’t too serious because Trice was treated and released from Providence Hospital Saturday. Michigan State Police Sgt. Mario Gonzales says there are no suspects as of yet.
Obie Trice’s career picked up speed when, after some underground mix tape appearances, Eminem’s Detroit protégé set off the platinum rapper’s ’02 single “Without Me”, proclaiming “Obie Trice-real name, no gimmicks!” He also appeared on “The Eminem Show’s” ode to STD’s, “Drips”. The same year he rapped on 50 Cent’s heralded debut “Get Rich or Die Trying” (’03), Trice released “Cheers”, his debut album, executive produced by Eminem.
