EMINEM GETS BAD RAP FROM FORMER BODYGUARD

EMINEM GETS BAD RAP FROM FORMER BODYGUARD

DETROIT, Mich. (Wireless Flash) -- Eminem is getting a bad rap from a former bodyguard who fears the rapper is at risk of becoming another Kurt Cobain. Byron Williams -- who guarded Eminem until last December -- is the author of a new Eminem expose titled "Shady Bizzness" (Dynacom Ink). In it he claims the singer is a sucker for Bacardi rum, marijuana, magic mushrooms, Valium and Tylenol with codeine. Williams admits he decided to write the book as revenge, but he now hopes the rapper will take it as a friendly warning that both success and drugs are going to his head. Eminem reportedly canceled a $6000 Christmas bonus slated for Williams, which the bodyguard claims prevented him from buying any presents.
