Obie Trice will spend a few months behind bars for a misdemeanor gun charge.
According to Detroit’s NBC affiliate WDIV Local 4, the former Shady Records artist was sentenced to 90 days in Michigan’s Oakland County Jail after pleading guilty to possession of an unregistered gun in June. The Eminem affiliate was credited with five days of time served at a hearing on Wednesday (July 8).
In December 2019, he was arrested following a shooting incident in which a gun went off and injured his girlfriend’s 18-year-old son. The victim was hit by a bullet during an allegedly drunken altercation between Obie and his 40-year-old girlfriend.
Obie Trice Gets Misdemeanor In Shooting Of Girlfriend's Son Case
Obie was originally brought in on charges of aggravated felony assault of a family member with a gun and contempt of court for violating a protective order. The felony charge was downgraded to misdemeanor possession of an unregistered firearm after police determined the gun was accidentally discharged.
“Never would!!!” he declared via Instagram after avoiding the felony. “Youngin was my love one fuck the news all we want is.”
Last year, Obie dropped his fifth solo album — the appropriately titled The Fifth. The project was his third independent studio LP following his departure from Shady Records in 2008.
During his run on Eminem’s label, Obie had two albums chart in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. His debut LP Cheers peaked at No. 5 while his sophomore effort Second Round’s On Me reached No. 8. None of his subsequent releases ever charted higher than No. 130.
I blame the caucasity of candyboy eminem for allowing my brother Obie to catch a case. This some boosheet.
I blame your mom for smoking crack and drinking way too much when she was pregnant with your simpleton ass .
Typical reply!!! Blah blah blah Em made him who he is. Caucasity?? Bwahhhhh clearly you should just stfu.
That track Lady he did with Eminem was and is still fire.
Real name , no gimmicks .
stay off the drink.
bummer – Cheers still holds up and Average Man is one of the best fieriest opening tracks since weezy’s 3peat to start carter III – but i redisovered obies last two albums more recently and he’s still got bars and a decent ear for beats just not the resources to get the best ones but still nice to hear – and thats prob why Em, who i dont think is a great producer, did his best work on Obies Cheers debut album (cuz every shady/aftermath debut was dope back then, The Documentary/Get Rich or Die Tryin/Cheers – they were killin the early 2000s)
‘Cheers’ was bananas. Album was solid from start to finish. It was one of the soundtracks to my time in College. One.
I actually recently discovered his song “everywhere I go” with 50 Cent like a month ago. It’s from 2006 but still fire. Shame he didn’t reach his full potential in the industry, even though I think Cheers went platinum.
Cheers felt too much like an Eminem side project rather than an Obie Trice album in it’s own right. Second Round’s On Me had much better lyricism and production. If Obie Trice had a more varied tone and interesting delivery he could have reached higher than he did. But a lot of the time he sounds uninspired and forgettable, despite packing some vivid imagery in his verses.
