Since 1997, Marshall Bruce Mathers III has been known internationally as rapper Eminem. He has sold 37.5 million albums and claims one of the strongest fan followings in the world.

Before he was due to release his single, The Real Slim Shady, his girlfriend, Kim, left him and began blocking his contact with his daughter, Hailie.
