    I've heard this said for years, but I've never actually seen any court order or media reports indicating this is true. Does anyone have proof/documentation?

    I guess it is. What I want to know more is what the penalty for saying her name would be.

    This is all I can find, but this was in 2000.

    http://www.mtv.com/news/1123331/wife-sues-to-stop-eminem-from-rapping-about-her/

    Em rapped about her for years following 2000...maybe it just took a while to go in effect?

    How can you even legally forbid someone to mention you in a song. That's stupid.

    Kim Mathers functioned as a kind of twisted muse that fueled Eminem's early development as a career musician. She created the authentic rage he exhibited as his stage persona 'Shady'.
    Kimberly Scott made Marshall Mathers' life a living h---. poor b------ :emoji_slight_frown:
    The invention of Shady was a strategic career move. The rage behind it had to be real. Kim made that happen.
    Songs mentioned (no order)
    • '97 Bonnie & Clyde
    • Soldier
    • Déjà Vu
    • Whats the Difference?
    • Going Through Changes
    • My 1st Single
    • Say What You Say
    • Just Dont Give a F***
    • Mockingbird
    • Kim
    • Stronger than I was
    • 25 to Life
    • Crazy in Love (This song isn't about his ex-wife Kim, but a girl he dated for a few years after breaking up with Kim. The song does talk about his ex-wife it isn't about her at all. But how another girl didn't treat him like his like his ex-wife. His anger about his ex-wife is very well said in his song 'Kim'. Good song little sick and twisted but good rap)
    • Girls
    • Puke
    • Die Alone

    I wish he would at least f---ing talk about that issue in one of his songs....who am I kidding. He probably f---ing has but it never made the cut for one of his albums. I bet all of his cooler topics and stories are in the songs that never made his albums. I think that is why MMLP2 was not as good. He makes too many songs for his albums. He should go back and take the songs that never made his older albums and rework them for his new albums. If he did that then he would still be dropping classics. Random rant. Sorry.

    No Kim on mmlp2. No Kim on recovery except the "I still love your mother" line in GTC

    I think it would refreshing to hear about their relationship now that they both have matured. Maybe that is just me
