Ex-Eminem schoolmate sues over song
A former schoolmate of Eminem, who is suing the rapper for $1m (€850,000), is scheduled to have his case go to trial this month, despite the withdrawal of the plaintiff’s lawyer.
DeAngelo Bailey of Roseville, Detroit sued Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers III, in 2001. He claimed Eminem’s song Brain Damage, which named Bailey as an abusive bully, damaged his reputation and his own ability to launch a music career.
