The Rapper Could Now Relate To Michael…
Rolling Stone reports that Eminem participated in an interview with Complex, where he decided to open up about several topics — one of which was drug addiction.
The source says Eminem became heavily addicted to Vicodin, and blamed the drug for his weight gain over the years, during his hiatus. At that point, he fully understood Michael’s situation and claimed that being any celebrity with Jackson’s level of fame could prove fatal.
“I definitely can relate, and it’s a shame if he didn’t have anybody there to just say, ‘Michael, you’re an addict, you need help,'” Eminem told the source.
Once the rapper got clean, he started changing his life — even his own appearance. He was done with the blonde hair.
“Once I got sober I was like, ‘What the f**k am I doing? I’m like 35 years old, am I going to keep dying my hair f**king blond?’ Also it was just about letting go.”
According to the source, his blonde hair reportedly reminded him of his addiction.
“I hated myself when I was in my addiction,” Eminem mentioned. “I hated myself worse than anyone could ever hate me.”
It’s crazy how the tables can turn, right? Life can throw you a curve ball from where you least-likely expect it. Probably in a million years, the rapper would’ve never thought Michael Jackson would own his back-catalog.
