– We did 16-hour shooting days and there was a certain window of time when we had to sleep. One day someone gave me zolpidem and it knocked me out. I thought I needed this all the time, Eminem recalls.
In addition to his speech, Eminem performed his song at Saturday’s ceremony My Name Is, Rap God and Sing For The Moment.
– I am so grateful that I get to perform hip-hop music because I love it so much, Eminem stated.
