Rapper Eminem, a.k.a. Marshall Mathers III, has led a super-interesting life. And his fans can’t get enough of it, either: they’re fascinated by his addictions and crises, his chaotic relationship with his ex-wife Kim and his sweetness to his daughter Hailie. Still, while there are many things about the controversial rapper that are very well-publicized, there are still a few Slim Shady facts that have flown under the radar.

20. He used to pop up to 90 pills a day
From the early to mid ’00s, Eminem was completely hooked on pills. He took Valium, Vicodin, Seroquel and Ambien, and his constant use of these drugs almost killed him. In fact, at one point he was rushed to hospital and almost died after taking a potentially lethal cocktail of pills. But luckily for his fans, he pulled through.

19. He claims to have only ever read a single book
In 2010 Eminem told Rolling Stone that he had only ever read one book all the way through: LL Cool J’s autobiography, I Make My Own Rules. “I just never really got into books,” he said. But apparently, the rap star does browse the dictionary occasionally.

17. He came up with the name Slim Shady while on the John
Slim Shady is Eminem’s alter ego – and a vicious and nasty alter ego at that, as Eminem himself would probably be the first to admit. But Slim Shady’s origin story is actually more funny than anything else; Eminem actually got the idea for the character when he was sitting on the toilet.

16. He was once investigated by the Secret Service
In 2003 a leaked Eminem song included the lyric “I’d rather see the president dead.” And because threatening the president is a felony, the Secret Service had to get involved. In the end, of course, they found no evidence to suggest that the rapper was actually out to get George W. Bush, though.

15. Matt Damon’s role in Elysium could have been his
When Neill Blomkamp was preparing to make his sci-fi movie Elysium, he had Eminem in mind for the potential lead. And Eminem did actually consider it… but ultimately said no when Blomkamp wouldn’t move the filming location to Detroit. In the end, as we now know, however, Matt Damon was cast as the lead instead.

14. He used his daughter’s voice in a track about killing her mom
When Eminem was at the lowest point with his ex-wife Kim, he picked up their daughter Hailie one day and claimed he was taking her to Chuck E. Cheese. But instead, he brought the little girl to his studio and recorded her voice – then used it in an incredibly violent track about murdering Kim. Yikes.

13. Elton John helped him get clean
When Eminem’s drug addiction was eating his life away, he found help in an unlikely ally: Elton John. The famous singer had himself previously battled addiction, and gradually the two of them became friends. In fact, in a 2010 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, John even took to Eminem’s defense against accusations of homophobia.

12. His mother almost died while giving birth to him
Eminem may not get along with his mother, but he almost didn’t have one at all. Debbie Mathers-Briggs gave birth to her son while she was still a teenager and, moreover, suffered through a 73-hour labor which came very close to killing her.

11. His house is a no-swear zone
Eminem’s song lyrics are some of the filthiest and crudest in the business. And yet, surprisingly, he doesn’t tolerate swearing in his house. In fact, in 2010 he told Anderson Cooper that he tries to be a profanity-free parent to his daughters.

10. A long-lost sister emerged in 2005
Eminem’s father, Marshall Mathers II, abandoned the family not long after Eminem was born. But then he started another family – and in 2005 his daughter Sarah Mathers was shocked to find out that Eminem, whom she had only ever seen on TV, was actually her half-brother.

9. His school bully filed a $1 million lawsuit against him
In “Brain Damage,” Eminem raps about a bully called DeAngelo Bailey who used to violently attack him. And it turns out that Bailey had indeed bullied the young Mathers – so much so, in fact, that his mom had sued his school over it. Indeed, in a 1999 Rolling Stone interview, Bailey even said he used to do “bully-type things” to the star. And so, unsurprisingly, his 2001 lawsuit against Eminem didn’t come to much.
