Eminem Reveals He Had A Pill Problem

Filed under: Drugs > Music Minute > Eminem

eminemvibecover1__opt.jpg

In the latest issue of Vibe, Eminem reveals what we already know: he was addicted to pills.

Collective "Duh!" now.

After Rehab Number 1, Em suffered a gnarly overdose when an acquaintance handed him a little blue pill, which turned out to be methadone. This was on top of his little 20 Vicodin, Ambien and Valium a day habit.

He realized he had a problem after he had knee surgery, and, with no prescription for pain killers on account of his addiction, found himself ransacking his house for any leftover pills. That led him to Rehab Number 2.

He goes on to say that "It never once hit me that drug addiction runs in my family. Now that I understand that I'm an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it."

The rapper, however, is back, with his new album, Relapse.

He adds, "Rap was my drug. It used to get me high and then it stopped getting me high. Then I had to resort to other things to make me feel that … now rap's getting me high again."

Creativity is a much better high!

    He's had MORE than just a pill problem!!!



  29. 29

    Yeah, no shit Sherlock! He's only been rapping about Vicodin and drugs and alcohol since the beginning. What a revelation!

    He's done.



  31. 31

    IDIOT! Stop it already with the Eminem war… you don't like his music and the fact that he dislikes gay ppl we get it now get over it! For someone who had the nerve to write over an Elton Jhon's pic Perez's senior you are acting really really far from what Elton is… a really and truly gentleman and someone TOLERANT who didn't care to share a stage with Em and talk for a while…
    Perez you are nothing but a joke!



  32. 32

    I am glad Eminem is clean now and I hope he can stay like that!



  33. 33

    I LOVE THIS MAN'S MUSIC!!! …i just wish he would smile every now and then….he would look soooo much better!!!! lol



  34. 34

    Sooooo Sexy!!!!!!!!! Anything with his face on it makes me wanna cream my pants!!! I hope hes doin better and I wish him all the best!!! O yeah im buying his album the day it comes out!!! I loooooove EMINEM!



  35. 35

    Re: jebjeb – ummmm yeah people still care about him!!!!!!!!!! You must be a teeney bopper who likes people like miley cyrus and the jonas brothers!!!!!! Its so unfortunate for the kids growing up these days!!! They really have no good entertainment anymore!!! I mean look at the movies and music now. I mean when I was growing upand that was not that long ago im only 22 we had Eminem Britney X-Tina Dr. Dre then movies i mean c'mon what do teenagers have to watch now we had American pie and those movies now all there is is Miley Cyrus' movie!! But I know this was long but that was my rant and it has been bothering me for a while!



  36. 36

    what a funny-ass picture. he's trying to look hard but it's pretty damn laughable.



  37. 37

    Much love to Eminem, I will be buying his new album, although I miss the crazy lyrics of his earlier stuff. Needs to quit with the Botox though…that doesn't look all that hot.



  38. 38

    I'm so proud of Eminen, getting over an addiction is not easy and yes it is herititary. A lot of people abuse perscription pills, it's more common than many realize and I'm glad that he had decided to be so open about such a personal matter. By the way he's fuck'n so sexy and he doesn't have anything to prove, he's already one of the greatest rappers of all time and anyone that has anything negative to say can fuck right off!



  39. 39

    Surprising because he seems so normal.



  40. 40

    His face does look weird. I'm not sure what it is. Is he wearing excessive foundation?
    Aww, I still love Feminem though.



  41. 41

    I like what he said about his mother… shows some growth.
    Although I think he looks cheesy with his "angry face." His smile is MUCH more attractive.

    he looks like a flat chested lesbian
