Eminem Got Beat Up and Sued

April 28 2025
The DeAngelo Bailey case centers on a 2001 lawsuit filed against rapper Eminem (Marshall Bruce Mathers III) by his former schoolmate, DeAngelo Bailey. Bailey alleged that Eminem's 1999 song "Brain Damage," from The Slim Shady LP, portrayed him falsely and invaded his privacy by depicting him as a violent bully. In the song, Eminem recounts being severely beaten by Bailey in a school bathroom, an account Bailey claimed was exaggerated and defamatory.
