Eminem Opens Up About Overdose That Stole Precious Family Time

Eminem is opening up about one of the darkest moments of his life, and the personal cost it carried.

In a candid new reflection, the Rap icon revealed that his near-fatal 2007 overdose didn’t just derail his career momentum; it robbed him of irreplaceable time with his family.

He has produced a documentary called ‘STANS’ that sees him open up about more complicated corners of his life.

The ‘Lose Yourself’ rapper admitted he broke down in tears when he realised the extent of what he had missed during his recovery.

He shared:

“I got into this vicious cycle of, ‘I’m depressed so I need more pills. And then your tolerance gets so high, you end up overdosing. I woke up in the hospital. And I didn’t know what the f**k happened. It seemed like I fell asleep. And I woke up with tubes in me and s**t. I wanted to get up. I couldn’t move. After the overdose, I came home going, ‘Yo, bro, I need something.”

Now over a decade sober, Em has long credited fatherhood and family as his anchor. Still, his latest remarks serve as a sobering reminder of the human toll behind the headlines. For fans, it’s another glimpse at the man behind the myth… and proof that even the fiercest MCs have moments of fragility.

The ‘STANS’ documentary is now in select theatres and will reportedly stream on Paramount+ later this year.
