Eminem is among the best-selling music artists of all time. The rapper's worldwide record sales are estimated to be over 220 million. He has had ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200—which all consecutively debuted at number one on the chart. He is the first artist to achieve this.
Born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, the musician has won numerous awards throughout his career. He is the recipient of 15 Grammy Awards, eight American Music Awards, 17 Billboard Music Awards, and an Academy Award. In November 2022, Eminem was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His net worth is estimated to be $220 million.
Eminem has been married to Kimberly Anne Scott twice. He met Scott in high school while he stood on a table with his shirt off rapping LL Cool J's "I'm Bad." After Scott and her twin sister Dawn ran away from home, they moved in with Eminem and his mother. Scott and Em began a relationship when he was 15 in 1989. Mathers and Scott were married ten years later in 1999. Three years later the couple divorced. Eminem told Rolling Stone in 2002, "I would rather have a baby through my penis than get married again."
But the pair briefly rekindled their relationship and remarried in January 2006. Eminem filed for divorce in early April, agreeing to joint custody of their daughter Hailie. Eminem was given custody of his ex-sister-in-law Dawn's daughter, Scott's child from another relationship and his younger half-brother Nathan.
In early 2010, Eminem denied tabloid reports that he and Scott had renewed their romantic relationship; however, his representative also confirmed that they now maintain a friendly relationship. But according to Em's old bodyguard he was once afraid of his ex-wife Kim Scott.
Kim Scott Revealed She Felt Betrayed By Eminem's Song About Her
Eminem’s ex-wife Kim Scott has opened up about his performance of a song wishing her dead. She said he had promised not to include the song "Kim" on the set list, a song that appears on his 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP.
Scott claims that the incident it drove her to harm herself afterwards, “I was embarrassed. I was humiliated. I cried. He’s supposed to be the man that loves me and protects me and here he is completely and totally disrespecting me in the worst way possible in front of millions of people. And in front of our kids, my family, my friends.”
"Sure enough he decided to do that song and not only perform the song, but use a blow up doll to re-enact me being choked. I couldn’t take it." Scott sadly add, "I made it home (after the concert) and I went upstairs in my bathroom and I slit my wrists and ended up in the hospital."
Eminem Was Allegedly Scared Of His Ex Wife Kim Scott
Byron Williams worked as Em's bodyguard and wrote the book Shady Bizzness. He alleges that despite Slim Shady dissing his ex-wife Kim Scott on wax, he is actually afraid of her in real life.
"I saw her throw a lamp at Eminem on a tour bus, knocking him down," said Williams. "Man, he is terrified of her. She is one tough lady and bigger than him."
Williams claims he kept up with it for so long because he is afraid Scott would take their daughter away from him.
