Eminem went through shit to be the Greatest. His story is truly very inspiring and motivating.

Failed in highschool 9th grade for three times to eventually drop out.

Was bullied a lot in school for being white in a black dominant area.

Got beaten up severely that put him in coma for serious head injury and brain damage caused.

Went through extreme poverty working a minimum wage gross hardworking dishwasher job.

Constantly moving from place to place losing childhood friends.

Issues with his Mom, and her kicking him out of the house repeatedly.

Dad left him at a very young age, while Eminem sent him letters which were sent back to Eminem.

Wife cheated and kissed a bouncer on which Eminem pulled out a gun and got arrested for 2 year probation.

On and off marriage, 2 divorces with same wife.

First album was a flop which was devastating for his career, that he attempted suicide.

Best friend Proof being killed in murder.

His favourite uncle also suicided which hurt him mentally a lot.

Addicted to harmful drugs because of suicidal thoughts leading to life threatening overdose.

Daughter to take care of in poverty and minimum wage job as a single dad.

This list is so heavy to process and there must be something that I might've missed which is even crazier considering all these events officially reported, the amount of constant mental trauma back to back is very hard to describe in just words. He survived all of it and went on to become the greatest. Massive respect to Eminem. Truly inspiring and motivating.
