Eminem is probably due for a more reality based biopic this side of 8 Mile in lieu of all these allegations of his past dealings with his former bodyguard, Byron “Big Naz” Williams.
About a month ago, Williams retold a story where Dr. Dre-nemesis Suge Knight ordered the wolves on Slim Shady during the 2001 Source Awards (a hit that Williams claimed to have thwarted himself with the help of Dre’s muscle). Now in his latest segment on the Murder Master Music Show, Williams says that the “former bodyguard” tagline on his résumé came as a direct result from a ghetto quick-draw standoff the two engaged in — with loaded firearms.
“The last time that I seen Em, we both had our hands on our weapons,” Williams tells Prez and Mac Jay of MMM. “That’s the last time I seen him. We had our hands on our guns man! O.K. Corral, man! That’s how the relationship ended with Em and I, we had our hands on our guns. And you know what’s funny? That was the same gun that I took Eminem to go get registered. In fact, he didn’t have any cash on him at the time and I paid for the gun to be registered.”
Williams made it clear that he didn’t want to retell the entire altercation because everything was included in his book, Shady Bizzness: Life As Marshall Mathers’ Bodyguard In An Industry Of Paper Gangsters, an endeavor he’s still looking to earn some monetary gain from 16 years after the fact. But he did reveal something along the lines that Slim Shady wasn’t exactly forthcoming with the money he owed. Allegedly.
“It was about the money! It started off as a misunderstanding and it ended up being about money after a resignation and then it got ugly,” he continued.

It’s not until the tail end of the interview that the hired henchman claims self-defense, alleging that it was Eminem who initially flashed his chrome, prompting Williams to do the same.
“The day him and I met [my gun] was definitely loaded, I didn’t have any intentions on trying to do anything to him but I knew how this guy could be, and I was trying to get my money. I was trying to do it in a peaceful manner and he was the first one to draw. The question I always ask myself is was it loaded? I know mines was!… I had to be the bigger person — and I always been the bigger person within that entire camp. I told him ‘I loved you like a brother, and it didn’t have to come down to this, but we’ll handle it in a different way.’ I was heated, man. And he knew that he had crossed the line. And even then, and all of that, I still forgave him.
Although, as quick as I forgave him, I could have took him outta here.”
No explanation needed as to what “took him outta here” entails. Williams predicted even with claiming self-defense, he would have been convicted in some form or fashion because Eminem was “the golden boy of Hip Hop.”
As for the aforementioned tell-all book, Williams says Hollywood royalty such as Ron Howard and Danny DeVito have both approached him in hopes to spin it into a motion picture.
Listen to Williams’ latest interview down below.
Alright, first it was the whole ‘Suge and DeathRow wanting to attack Em at the Source Awards story,’ now it’s this . . . this guy should just get a 9-5 somewhere and keep his mouth shut; it’s getting pathetic.
click bait…… could’ve killed him…. lol
Eminem’s ex bodyguard just wants MORE money.. Let it go
Prez and Mac J do interesting interviews unlike the “lamestream” media journalists. I like the show.
Don’t you feel like a twat when you say lamestream media? Because you look like one.
He prolly telling the truth..
Or trying to sell his book.
I wonder which is more likely.
Even if he’s not lying about the promising Howard / De Vito approach, I highly doubt Em’s lawyers wouldn’t shoot down the project ASAP.
Maybe not.
His life is his life and he’s entitled to tell his story.
Libellous claims like this might not make it in but some form of his story would be fair game.
Imagine the things that he’s not out telling the world…
Who cares about this guy or Eminem in 2016
Why you still reading articles about him then, and probably googling his name since you’re on a guest account.
You still care, negatively but that’s besides the point.
Can’t you see the irony in taking the effort to call yourself “Whocares”
“Who cares about Eminem” lmao let me guess, you listen to Future and Desiigner, and other people with no talent, because that’s what everyone else is doing
Clearly you since you commented on it LOL
Listen guys Eminem never pulled a gun he aint like Gucci.
Parasite. Bad mouthing and trying to profit from someone who employed him for how long?
“Could’ve killed him”
In this context it’s true for every person you’ve ever met, I COULD kill the person next to me right now.
I’m a massive Em fan but let’s be honest does Em seem like the type to pull a gun on someone? Someone who he paid to protect him because he couldn’t protect himself?
Em has never claimed to be a gangster, he claims to be a victim much more obviously.
Just a bitter ex employee trying to squeeze whatever is left from his claim to fame.
Well Em was arrested for Pistol whippin a Bouncer….
A pistol that wasn’t even loaded.
I guess none of you fanboys ever been to the D, Newark, Brownsville, The South Bronx anywhere bad. Em went to all these places and has lived in some of these places to get his skills up. He been around and wouldnt suprise me if he pulled a gun. Did you see how big his bodyguards was. Do your history Em is hood do you muthafuckas not listen to the lyrics on his album………
I believe him. Em is exactly the type of guy to pull a gun on a dude, even if they were close at one point. have yall never heard any of his songs? he put his own wife and mother on blast repeatedly, and you don’t think he would draw a gun on his ex bodyguard?
he never claimed to be a gangsta but you don’t have to rep blood to squeeze a trigger “never was as thug, just infatuated with guns”.
he was also arrested for pistol whipping a bouncer, what exactly about Eminem was it that made you think he was peaceful?
There’s a big difference between rapping about your violent emotions toward someone and shooting somebody. The reason why he made those songs about his wife and mom was to help get his anger off his chest, he would never actually do anything to them. Plus, the bouncer he pistol whipped was sleeping with his wife. You’d be heated too. And the gun was loaded, but he unloaded it before he confronted him so he wouldn’t be tempted to shoot him. So why would he not shoot one person, but shoot somebody else who he has little to no reason to shoot?
Real story…Em found out he was writing a book, fired his bitch ass and decided he wasn’t paying him shit. This guy tried to strong arm for his paycheck n then realized Em, at that time,was crazy as fuck and might shoot his ass…now 16 yrs later he’s still trying to get rich. He was around shady for less than 2 yrs…there’s no movie to make from that.
This fucken guard just tranna grab some attention on media
