EMINEM RELATES TO MICHAEL JACKSON OVER PRESCRIPTION DRUG PROBLEM

Eminem recently compared his struggles with drugs to that of Michael Jackson’s own public battle with prescription medication, sharing that on any given day, he used to swallow up to 90 pills.

Eminem has regularly alluded to his previous addiction to prescription medicine, which began during his 8 Mile filming in 2002.

"It's very similar to what I've read about Michael," he said. "I don't know exactly what he was doing, but I read that he kept getting up in the middle of the night, asking for more (drugs). That's what I was doing."

Eminem added that he wasn't taking prescription drugs to get high, but was "taking them to get normal."
