In the Hollywood music industry, the name of Eminem holds a special kind of significance. Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, has been one of the top artists of the Hollywood music industry for many years now, and his most popular era was the 1990s to the mid-2000s. The multiple Grammy Award winner has derived inspiration for many of his songs from his marriage and overall relationship with Kim Scott Mathers, though not all of them have shed a positive light on her. Some of the most notable songs that Eminem released were ’97, “Kim”, “Bonnie and Clyde” and “Love The Way You Lie”, which also featured Rihanna.

Meeting With Eminem
