Eminem Accused of Assaulting Man in Strip Club

Rapper Eminem has been accused of punching a man in the face at a Detroit, Mich., strip club early on Thursday while using the men's room.

Miad J claims he was punched in the face four or five times by Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, at Cheetah's strip club on Detroit's famed 8 Mile Road.

Miad tells Detroit's Channel 7 Action News he was allegedly assaulted at 1 a.m. while he was in the men's room using the urinal next to Eminem.

He claims another man entered the men's room and started talking to the rapper when one of Eminem's bodyguards told the man to be quiet.

Miad says he then asked the bodyguard to "ease up" on the star-struck man in the restroom.

Miad claims, "Eminem got done and boom! He started swinging. I wasn't even expecting it.

"I was just minding my own business and taking a leak!"

Detroit police would like to hear Eminem's side of the story and then they say they will present their case to the prosecutor's office for possible charges.

After he was punched, Miad claims the rapper left the club and Cheetah's bouncers threw Eminem's bodyguards out of the strip joint.

As one of the vehicles in Eminem's entourage was pulling out from the club, witnesses tell police the rapper known as Trick Trick pulled out a gun.

While he didn't point it at anyone, witnesses outside the club confirm there was a weapon involved.
