No, this is not a joke. Seriously, sources close to Eminem have reported that the superstar has received death threats from a group of Bin Laden’s followers, called “al Qaida.” This of course comes in response to Eminem dressing up as Bin Laden in his video for “Without Me.”
Eminem is taking these threats very seriously and is taking several precautions to ensure the safety of him and his daughter. He has hired several more security guards as well as upgrading his homes security system. He has also contacted specialists in dealing with terrorism and how to counter it.
For all the shit-talking and controversial things that he has said and done over the past three years, who would have thought that this would bite him in the ass. I never thought much of his dressing up like Bin Laden, I didn’t think it was a big deal. Does this mean that Bin Laden and the al Qaida watch MTV?
