Eminem seeks slander suit’s end

Lawyers for Eminem asked a Michigan judge to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that the rap superstar slandered a former schoolmate in one of his songs.

Macomb County Circuit Judge Deborah Servitto said she’d read arguments from both sides before deciding how to proceed with the lawsuit DeAngelo Bailey filed in 2001.

Bailey, a 32-year-old sanitation worker, seeks $1 million from Eminem, 30, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III. He alleges Eminem slandered him in the song “Brain Damage” from his 1999 disc “The Slim Shady LP.”
