Former Shady Records artist Obie Trice caught a break on Tuesday (February 18) when he was charged with a misdemeanor in a case where he was originally facing felony assault.
According to WXYZ Detroit, the Motor City rapper was accused of possession of an unregistered firearm following a December 2019 shooting.
The incident allegedly started with a physical altercation between Obie and his live-in girlfriend. The 42-year-old artist was allegedly drinking all day and pushed his significant other during an argument, which prompted her son to step into the fight.
Police explained the mother and son decided to leave the residence after the melee, but Trice confronted them before they could escape.

During the confrontation, the 18-year-old victim saw Obie with a gun and attempted to disarm him resulting in a struggle that left the teenager shot in the groin. He was taken to a local hospital by his mother. Law enforcement sent Obie to jail and booked him with an aggravated felony assault of a family member with a gun and contempt of court for violating a protective order.
Days after the arrest, he released two diss records aimed at Nick Cannon in defense of Eminem — “Spanky Hayes,” and “Spanky Hayes 2.” The latter featured a Suge Knight diss as well.
Obie ‘2 inch penis’ trice.
8.5 is small as fuck fool
8.5 is small as fuck lol? You must know a lot of dick!
Shit is stupid. 18 year old left shout in the groin after some bullshit drama. Sorry man. Not my place to talk. Obie make better moves and put alcohol down. Peace.
Hope Em & Royce will step in and talk to this man. Detroit legend. Beast emcee. Losing grip of himself.
Spent the whole day drinking…smh. No wonder why this niggah is depressed as fuck. Inactive & washed up rappers should find something else to do rather than tryna cause more problems at home. Yung Joc is now an Uber driver. That’s smart compared to sitting on your drunk lazy ass, argue with a bitch who clearly don’t luv you and shoot your step son…SMH
Is young joc seriously a Uber driver now? Thats the funniest shit i’ve heard in a while 😀 true or not you made my day, thank you
One of Beavis’ Buttheads.. fucking clown.. a fish rots from the head down..
obie can make a comeback not today damn
When you aren’t busy, and hangout at home all day getting drunk, you are all but guaranteed to do something g really stupid. Thats why full time workers stay out of jail, and people who don’t work end up in jail.
I dont think it’s as black and white as your saying but your on to some real truth for real. Keeping busy keeps you out of trouble.
Won’t be long before this idiot is back in front of the judge for some dumb shit…smfh.
i wasnt there to see what happened so i cant comment… but damnit do i wanna!!
Sounds like a stand up guy….drinking all day, abusing his wife, fighting her 18 year old kid.
Word. Just lost a lot of respect for Obie… Used to be a fan… smh
How do you only get a Misdemeanor for shooting someone? I got 2 for taking a piss in the street.
