Eminem has always been fairly candid about his battle with addiction. He’s previously spoke about his struggle on the track “Arose” from his recent album Revival. Additionally, in a 2015 interview with Men’s Journal, the “Walk on Water” artist discussed his overdose in 2007. “I overdosed on pills, and I went into the hospital,” he said at the time. “I was close to 230 pounds. I’m not sure how I got so big, but I have ideas. The coating on the Vicodin and the Valium I’d been taking for years leaves a hole in your stomach, so to avoid a stomachache, I was constantly eating—and eating badly.”
