American rapper, songwriter, and record producer Eminem, 47, has had a hard life filled with abuse in various shape and form. He has now accomplished something extraordinary and decided to share it with his fans.
One of the most popular rap artists ever has been sober for 12 years, a feat he shared with his Instagram followers. Eminem’s substance abuse troubles started in 2000, and in 2007 he even overdosed. His doctors told him he had an equivalent of four heroin packets in his system.
