Eminem uses his new album to blame his mom Debbie Mathers Briggs for his drug addiction.
Relapse — the rapper’s first collection for five years — leaked on the internet on Thursday night, 11 days before its official release.
It is third track My Mom that will get tongues wagging.
The rapper who famously struggled with a dependence on painkillers, raps: “My mom loved Valium and lots of drugs. That’s why I’m like I am because I’m my mom.
“There’s no one quite like my mom. I know I should let bygones be bygone but she’s the reason why I’m high on what I’m high on.”
The lyrics then claim Debbie — who he also blasted on 2002 Top Ten hit Cleaning Out My Closet — would sprinkle Valium on his steak and force feed him another drug before packing him off to school.
Elsewhere on the comeback album Eminem is back in familiar territory, fantasizing about murdering starlets such as Lindsy Lohan and Britney Spears in Same Song And Dance.
On Insane he tackles child abuse, rapping as a young boy & being molested by his stepfather.
TV drama The Wire’s McNulty, aka Brit actor Dominic West, appears on the album, he plays a doctor discharging the rapper from a rehab facility in the opening spoken-word skit.
