Eminem, D-12 Sell T-Shirts to Benefit Proof’s Family

ProofEminem and rap group D-12 are selling a line of T-shirts to raise money for the family of group member DeShaun ‘Proof’ Holton, who was killed in a Detroit nightclub shootout in April.

Available for order at BigProof4Ever.com, the shirts feature Proof’s image on the front and the words “Big Proof Forever 1973-2006” on the back. This was the same shirt design that Eminem and several attendees wore at Proof’s funeral service.

The T-shirts are priced at $20, and all proceeds benefit the Big Proof Forever Foundation. A commemorative “Big Proof Forever” poster is also being sold on the website for $45.

During Tuesday night’s surprise appearance with Busta Rhymes at the BET Awards, Eminem honored his slain friend by wearing a similar T-shirt that read “Shady” on the front and “Proof Forever” on the back.

Hopefully people will learn from this instead of wearing the t shirts to look cool.

The bible says "let the dead bury the dead" so i address the living. No disrespect.... But i'm not wearing a dead persons face on my shirt. I'll remember proof in my heart, but thats it. Last time i did that. I took my shirt to the cleaners and biggies whole face got destroyed. Yeah__ they paid me... But i took that as a sign. My boy had already told me don't wear dead people on your chest like that. So__ take that advice. Just donate the $20 bucks and chill. Just my thoughts. Righteous stand up!

Yeah what spider said was right. People wearing t-shirts of dead rappers to look cool. It aint right. Just wear it to remember and show u got love for that person. People wear biggie shirts alot as if he was god. Big ups to em & d12 for selling those shirts. Only if they didnt have to sell shirts and em could use his money to benefit but unfortunately it cant work that way plus em loses 5 mil a year in lawsuits.

Sell t-shirts to benefit the family? i hope its not to benefit the family financially! i'd like to think a millionaire like em would set the family up financially for life. Why try and raise money for the fam? em has plenty of cash. Give them some money homie! i thought proof was your best man?

You know i wear my big proof shirt all the time , and its not to make me look cool at all, people usally come up to me ask me who is on my shirt. Becasue alot of people dont know who he is, so i let them know who he is and where he came from. Most people just stare at me when i wear,im not sure if its becasue im white or not but the point is i wear it to rep proof cause he was my mos fav rapper of all and still is. And just say im white, do know if that makes a difference or not but proof had all sorts of fans. So big proof r.i.p. Dude and we love you!
