Eminem recently explained why he created his ‘Slim Shady’ persona while being interviewed by the AI version of Slim Shady.
Em said, “Remember we made you, you almost f**ing killed our career.”
He continued, “And then I made our biggest radio record ever, without you. You don’t get it do you? You were literally born while I was taking a sh*t. I invented you because my life was f**ed up, my music was going nowhere and I was broke.”
He added, “But you didn’t fix anything you actually made that sh*t worse. I couldn’t even [go to] the bathroom without someone standing by it. You’re the reason I had to self-medicate. Because of you, I almost lost my career, my family and my life.”
