'He ain't walkin' around obese,' Trick Trick says, clearing up rumors; LP also features Dr. Dre, Kid Rock, Proof.
With Eminem's presence sorely missed in the hip-hop scene, the least bit of news about him makes fans and media alike go crazy. The latest rumor surrounding the Detroit MC was that he had ballooned to more than 200 pounds. Word on the street is that Slim Fast even came out and publicly offered him an endless supply of its dietary drink — and a spokesman position!
One of Em's friends and frequent collaborators, Trick Trick, says all the joking about Slim Shady not being slim anymore is just ridiculous.
"Em just picked up some weight, that's it," Trick, a fellow Detroit native, downplayed Thursday afternoon. He's nowhere [near] 250 pounds or anything like that. He picked up a little weight. He ain't walkin' around obese or some sh-- though. He can still run two miles if you want him to and still out-box the majority of them. My man still gets down."
Trick says Em getting down isn't just a physical thing — Slim Shady is still lyrically sound and ready to knock off heads. In fact, he is just one of the guests on Trick's upcoming independent LP, The Villain.
"He's still the coldest that ever did it," Trick said. "The game needs his album. He's rapping on [my album track] 'Who Want It.' He's like, 'Who want it?' [In the song] he's hanging out and these f---ing idiots are always at it. If you want it, come get it. He ain't trying to do nothing but be Em. I'm being me. If you want it, I got ya. He's Em on there. He's going for it. Whoever wants some can come get it. Em produced and rapped on it."

Plus, magazine claims Em's "fat pic" wasn't legit...
Everyone was wondering what's going on with Eminem since he suffered a recent heath scare and hasn't been photographed in over a year. He was hospitalized over the holidays in Detroit with pneumonia and heart problems. Sources say Eminem weighs over 200 pounds, which is borderline obese for his height.
Friend 50 Cent says he's doing OK, and that reports of his poor health are exaggerated. According to Fiddy, "I got a chance to see him a few weeks ago and people think he is in a worse state than he actually is."
Also, gossip magazine In Touch recently posted a retraction of sorts regarding Eminem's recent "fat picture"
"We published what we thought was one of the first pictures of Eminem looking heavy. The National Enquirer labeled the photo "Now" and included no disclaimer that it was a photo reproduction. It was actually a picture from a series taken in March, 2006 and was Photoshopped by the Enquirer to make Eminem's face look fat. We were not aware that the image was altered until commentors pointed it out to us. Eminem's grandmother dished to the press the Enquirer that he's stressed from his two failed marriages to ex-wife Kim and wanted to create a stable home life for his daughter, Hailie, 12. Eminen is said to be binging on take out food and overeating at chain restaurants."
