Overview
The state appeals court on Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed by an ex-schoolmate of Eminem's who accused the Detroit-area rapper of falsely depicting him in the song "Brain Damage."
A three-judge panel unanimously upheld a Macomb County judge's 2003 decision and wrote that the song by Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, was not intended to be taken literally.
In the song, released on Eminem's 1999 "The Slim Shady LP," the rapper says Deangelo Bailey beat him up in a school bathroom, banging his head on a urinal and choking him.document.write(unescape("
