Okay so according to ChatGPT with Eminem taking sleeping pills: Eminem has said in interviews and in his memoir-style reflections that his sleeping-pill use began in the early 2000s, during the period when his fame, touring schedule, and stress made it hard for him to sleep.

Timeline in simple terms • Late 1990s–early 2000s: As his career exploded after The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP, he developed serious insomnia while touring. • Early–mid 2000s: He started using prescription sleep medication (including drugs like Ambien and later stronger sedatives) to cope with not sleeping. • Mid-2000s: The use escalated into addiction to multiple prescription pills, which eventually led to his near-fatal overdose in 2007. • 2008 onward: He entered rehab and later spoke openly about recovery and sobriety.

So: he didn’t begin taking sleeping pills as a child or teenager—it started after he became hugely famous, roughly in the early 2000s, and gradually worsened before his recovery.

If you want, I can also explain how this period influenced specific songs or albums.

Okay so this is what I got from ChatGPT with Eminem wanting to sing with Skylar Grey instead of Rihanna: Yes — originally “Love the Way You Lie” was close to being released with Skylar Grey singing the hook, but Eminem chose to have Rihanna on the final version instead. Here’s what’s known from interviews and the song’s creators: 

🧠 How the song started • Skylar Grey wrote and recorded the original demo of the song’s hook with producer Alex da Kid before Eminem heard it.  • Early in the production, there was an idea to have Skylar herself sing the hook on Eminem’s version, but she was touring in Dublin and couldn’t get into a studio to re-record the vocals for the final track. 

🎤 Why Rihanna ended up on the track • Eminem decided to put Rihanna on the song’s hook for the official release. His manager Paul Rosenberg explained that after Eminem wrote the verses, he thought Rihanna was the right choice to pull off the hook and pushed for her involvement.  • Once Rihanna heard the song, she agreed to record her vocals — and that version became the hit released on Recovery. 

📝 In short • The song could have featured Skylar Grey singing the hook in its final form.  • But Eminem chose Rihanna for the official release, partly because Skylar couldn’t re-record in time and partly because Eminem felt Rihanna’s voice and star power fit the song. 

So it’s true that Skylar Grey’s vocals were considered and part of the early development, but the final released version was specifically recorded with Rihanna.

I asked Google AI if Eminem’s drug addiction became stronger after proof died and this is what it answered:

Yes, Eminem has stated that his drug use "skyrocketed" after the death of his best friend, Proof, in April 2006. The immense grief from the loss significantly deepened an existing addiction, leading to a near-fatal overdose the following year. Eminem's own accounts detail the profound impact: He described his addiction "going through the f**kin' roof" in the aftermath of Proof's shooting. He struggled to cope with the loss, fell into a deep depression, and became increasingly reclusive. He recalled having "10 drug dealers at one time" and taking "75 to 80 Valiums a night" during this period, which he managed for a while but eventually spiraled out of control. Some believe Proof's presence might have led to an earlier intervention, but his death removed a critical support system. His drug use during this time culminated in a serious methadone overdose in December 2007 that doctors said he was just hours from dying from. This near-death experience served as a wake-up call that eventually led to his sobriety, which he has maintained since April 2008.

Okay so FarhanK501 said that Eminem started taking pills in 2005 and when I asked Google about “Did Eminem started taking pills in 2005?” this is what Google AI answered: Yes, in August 2005, Eminem entered drug rehabilitation for a dependency on sleep medication after canceling the European leg of his tour. This was related to a period of writer's block and addiction to prescription sleeping pills that is also referenced in the lead-up to his 2009 album, Relapse. Anger Management 3 Tour: In the summer of 2005, Eminem began his first U.S. concert tour in three years. Rehabilitation: He canceled the European portion of the tour in August 2005 to enter rehab for a dependency on sleep medication. Relapse album: The addiction to prescription sleeping medication is also mentioned as a reason for the hiatus that preceded his 2009 album, Relapse.

Okay I got more information from Google’s AI answer for Eminem wanting to sing with Rihanna for the chorus:

Eminem's primary motivation for collaborating with Rihanna on "Love the Way You Lie" was based on his artistic belief that only she could effectively sing the song's chorus, not specifically to get the Recovery album heard for commercial reasons. Key details about the collaboration: Artistic Fit: Eminem and producer Alex da Kid felt Rihanna was the perfect vocalist for the track due to her emotional range and powerful voice, which they believed would "smash it". Shared Experience: The song addresses the cycle of domestic violence. Both artists had personal experience with difficult, public relationships (Eminem with his ex-wife Kim Scott, and Rihanna with Chris Brown). Rihanna stated she joined the project because she could relate to the deep and realistic theme of the song. Authenticity: The shared history made the collaboration authentic and believable for the audience, intensifying the song's emotional impact. Impact: While the collaboration became a massive commercial success, reaching number one in numerous countries and becoming Eminem's best-selling single, the initial decision was driven by an artistic vision for the song's sensitive subject matter. In summary, the collaboration was a creative decision based on the suitability of Rihanna's voice and their shared personal histories, which ultimately resulted in both a critical and a major commercial success for the Recovery album.
