In the US, meanwhile, D12 member Swift has been jailed on a probation violation after he missed a court hearing last week. The rapper faces 93 days in jail after breaking the term of a probation relating to a previous drink driving offence. To be honest, it all seems a bit tight if you ask me, given that he failed to make court because he was attending the funeral of late bandmate Proof who, has previously reported, was shot dead earlier this month at a Detroit club. The jail sentence was that high because when police caught up with Swift he tested positive for alcohol - a condition of his probation is that he keeps off drink and drugs.
Swift, real name Ondre Moore, was an honourary pallbearer at Proof's funeral where fellow D12er Eminem addressed the amassed mourners, saying: "I'm sure everybody who has ever met him, even just once, can testify to the fact that he illuminated a room when he walked in it. I believe that Proof loved people and people loved him". 50 Cent and Young Buck were also in attendance at the service at Detroit's Fellowship Chapel.
