18. Maybe his weight went up because of steriods they sometimes give you to help you breathe easier when you have pneumonia its been known to make some gain from 20-40 pounds or more in a short time span

19. This means he's using pills again.. hence the heart condition & weight gain. I'm sad to hear this.

21. Steroid medication is often used to treat pneumonia. Unfortunately, it can cause you to blow up almost instantly with swelling and water retention. This is most likely why (if its even true) Eminem weighs over 200 lbs right now.

30. I'm from Detroit and Em has been on the local news here for the past couple of months. The local buzz is that he has been sick for a while now and on lots of meds - including steroids - which could be the cause of his weight gain.

I currently work for a Birmingham, MI law firm and have seen Eminem a number of times over the past couple of years - nice, nice guy. Hope he gets well and hope that terrible Kim leaves him alone forever. He's better off without her.
