RR Exclusive: Eminem Speaks On MTV Stunt & Robbery Rumors

Three days ago at the MTV Movie Awards, Sacha Baron Cohen caused a firestorm as “Bruno” when he landed ass first on Eminem. Many speculated for the days whether the stunt was staged or real, with everyone speaking except the man himself. Breaking his silence, Em spoke exclusively to Rap Radar about the entire “ordeal”.

Can you clear up the Bruno stunt at the MTV Awards? Was it staged or planned?
Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards.  I’m a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag.

If it wasn’t planned the way you agreed to, do you hold MTV or Sacha responsible and will you take any kind of action?

I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it.  It had so many people going “nuts” so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it.

After you left the ceremony, where did you go?

After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about 3 hours. Especially after I saw it on air.

There is a rumor that you hotel room was robbed and thieves got 60K and your laptop while you were at the ceremony. Is that true and if so what would someone find on your computer?

The only thing was that I lost a Nike watch that we were looking for. The rest it is made-up like half the other stuff out there.

How do you think the show with Jay went and how did it feel performing “Renegade” again?
I love performing with Jay. It’s the third time we’ve done the song together live and it’s always fun. It was an honor to share the stage with him again and to work with his band.

It’s not good when your album leaks the same day it gets pushed back two months. This guy stays losing. SMH.

Who says Nawlins hustlin’ big bosess can’t get along? In today’s V60, Weezy’s poppa gives it up to Mr. Miller.

Baby: I mean, shit, to me, Master P was one of the best hustlers to ever do this shit. He did it big—35 albums in one year, bruh. Ain’t nobody ever did that. I think he did it one of the best. I think Master P accomplished something nobody ever did and probably nobody will ever do, too. To where today that seems damn impossible. I just stayed focused on what we was doing. I ain’t never wanted to be what the next man was doing. I respect what they accomplished.

Cosign: I was workin’ at The Source during No Limit mania and it really was insane. Barbara P had an advance CD like every other week for the kid. I still got my custom leather jacket somewhere. Yeah, YN witnessed a movement or two. Or ten. Or fifteen. Or 20. Ha!

I got an email today from Def Jam about their latest signing from South Carolina. Apparently dude has a really big record called “Nasty Song” and is no longer on good terms with a certain controversial radio personality.

New Dennis! 100% Ron Browz free.


 

Sidebar: Word in the tweets, is that Ghosts’ new album is going to be more R&B than Rap. Think Beyonce’s “Summertime (Remix)”.
