It is commendable to witness a prominent figure such as Eminem being candid about mental health, as it helps to break down negative perceptions and encourages individuals to seek support.

Besides using music as a therapeutic outlet, Eminem has also been vocal about seeking professional assistance to manage his mental health difficulties.

He has shared his experience of attending rehab and becoming sober, which has had a positive effect on his emotional regulation and ability to craft music that resonates with his fans.

While speaking with Sway Calloway, the founder of Shady Records pondered on his openness to confront mental health in his songs. Eminem promoted rap as a kind of therapy for himself and other musicians.

I think that’s one of the great things about rap music is that, you know, you could put so much of your life in it. It’s therapeutic and that’s how it’s always been for me.

Eminem also recently admitted to stealing from black music on his latest single. The most popular white MC in hip-hop is frequently accused of appropriating Black culture. Eminem’s latest drop, “The King & I,” is a collaboration with CeeLo Green.
