EMINEM is comparing his own struggles with drugs to the death of the king of pop MICHAEL JACKSON – insisting he can “relate” to the late Michaels problems with pills.
Michael Jackson passed away in June this year following a cardiac arrest which is believed to be linked to high dosage of the surgical-strength anesthetic Propofol.
Michael Jackson has been battling the prescription drug addiction which led to his demise tragedy.
Eminem has been going through the same dilemma which almost led to the loss of his life through the accidental overdose of methadone, when he endured the same drug addiction, popping as many as 20 pills a day at the height of his problems
The hip-hop artist says that the news that Jackson had died resonated with him- as he understood well enough the pain of prescription drug habit.
He tells Complex magazine, “I definitely can relate, and it’s a shame if he didn’t have anybody there to just say, ‘Michael, you’re an addict, you need help.’
“When you read things about Michael Jackson it’s hard to decipher what the f**k is true, but there’s the story of how he woke up at whatever time and he needed something to go back to sleep because he has this or that and it didn’t work – that’s exactly what used to happen to me. I would take a couple of pills and I would be up an hour later and I’d want more.”
