Eminem's ex-wife pleads guilty to drug charge

Rapper Eminem’s ex-wife, Kimberly Mathers, has pleaded guilty to a drug charge and a driving offence as part of an agreement to resolve two drug cases.

Mathers, who has been the subject of some of the rapper’s songs, admitted possessing 25 grams or less of cocaine and failing to give adequate space to an emergency vehicle when she appeared in court in Mount Clemens, Michigan.

A third charge of driving with a suspended licence will be dropped and a charge of maintaining a drug house, from a hotel party in September where police confiscated marijuana and Ecstasy, will be dismissed.

“Probation is an outcome that’s recommended here within the state guidelines,” said David Portuesi from the prosecutor’s office.

Mathers will be sentenced on January 21.
