🎈🎈DeShaun Dupree Holton was born October 2, 1973 known professionally as #Proof, a rapper from #Detroit, Michigan. During his career, he was a member of the groups 5 Elementz, Funky Cowboys, Promatic, Goon Sqwad, and #D12.
Eminem was born Marshall Bruce Mathers III on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri, and was raised by his mother, Debbie Nelson Mathers, who settled the family in Warren, just outside Detroit when he was 11.
It's literally an acronym for his name Marshall Mathers. When he decided to take himself more seriously (also to avoid a lawsuit) he started going by Eminem which is also a play on the saying his M&M (Marshall Mathers abbreviation) and the word eminent respectfully.
Proof, whose real name was DeShaun Dupree Holton, grew up in Detroit alongside Eminem, and the two formed a close bond. They collaborated frequently and were members of the rap group D12. Proof was known for his lyrical prowess, and his performances were always full of energy and passion.

Group members Eminem and Proof have known each other since they were kids and grew up together in Detroit, Michigan. "D12" is short for "Dirty Dozen" because there are 6 guys in the group each person having a split personality. As of 2004, they have recorded two albums, "Devil's Night" (2001) and "D12 World" (2004).
How Bizarre by OMC (which stands for ÅŒtara Millionaires Club, made up of frontman Pauly Fuemana and producer Alan Jansson) was the little song that could, eventually taking out No 1 in five countries, topping the US Mainstream Top 40 and reaching No 5 in the UK.
