American rapper, Eminem has come out to speak about a 2007 drug overdose episode that almost took his life.
The rapper disclosed this while speaking at his induction at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame over the weekend, where he stated that music saved his life.
He said, “I realize what an honour it is right now to be here up here tonight, and what a privilege it is to do the music that I love.
“Music basically saved my life … I’ll keep this as painless as possible. I’m *BLEEPING* stuttering and *BLEEP*. I’m probably not supposed to actually be here tonight because of a couple of reasons.”
Eminem continued, “I almost died from an overdose in 2007, which kind of sucked.”
The rapper then turned to his twenty-six-year-old daughter, Hailie whom he shares with ex Kim Scott, saying; “Hailie, plug your ears. Because drugs were *BLEEPING* delicious. I thought we had a good thing going on, but I had to go and *BLEEP* it all up. Goddamn.”
Eminem added; “Hold on, I lost my *BLEEPING* spot. Paul, did I say, I said drugs were delicious, right? And finally, I had to really fight my way through man to try and breakthrough in this music, and I’m so honoured and I’m so grateful that I’m even able to be up here doing hip-hop music, man because I love it so much.”
Just so you know, Eminem who was once addicted to various hard drugs celebrated his ten years of sobriety in 2018.
