EMINEM ON HOW HE ALMOST DIED
Eminem has opened up to the world about his history with drugs and near-death by overdose in a new documentary. The film, entitled How To Make Money Selling Drugs, has the rapper revealing some frightening facts about how he 'almost died.' In a rather heart-wrenching preview of the film on YouTube, the 40-year-old rapper reveals that at one point, he was almost put on dialysis and the doctors didn't think he'd make it.
As he talks about a time he almost died after a long stint taking such drugs as Vicodin, Xanax and Valium, he appears to struggle to even get the words out. Eminem explains that he pushed away anyone that tried to help him or let him know he had a problem, saying: 'Get that f*%@ing person outta here, I can't believe they said that sh*t to me.' The star tells how since he was taking prescription pills and 'not shooting heroin' or 'putting coke up [his] nose' or 'smoking crack', that he 'literally thought [he] could control it.' 'I don't know what point exactly it started to be a problem, I just remember liking it more and more,' said the Slim Shady legend. When Eminem finally wound up at the hospital, he said, it was almost too late.
'Had I got to the hospital about two hours later, I would have died. My organs were shutting down. My liver, kidneys, everything. They were gonna have to put me on dialysis, they didn’t think I was gonna make it,' he said in a shocking revelation. He said he didn't sleep for three weeks after that and later relapsed.
