Eminem and the Source magazine have had an ongoing feud since the magazine went public last year with racist lyrics which were allegedly recorded by Eminem years ago. But on Tuesday (January 11), the situation almost took a violent turn at a Detroit radio station.
Source magazine co-owner Dave Mays was doing an interview at Detroit's WDTJ-FM discussing the upcoming copyright infringement lawsuit that Eminem filed against the publication for releasing the lyrics, when Eminem and a group of approximately 10 men came to the station. MTV.com reports that there was a heated exchange of words between Mays and Eminem, but the confrontation did not escalate.
Mays told MTV.com, "I wasn't expecting for him to show up; he doesn't go anywhere in public. Nobody ever sees this guy. People were like, 'Is it really him? I don't understand what his purpose was. I'm up there by myself, he had all his people."
Mays added that he would still like to sit down with the rapper in attempt to work out their differences. He said, "My attorneys are sending correspondence to his attorneys relating to this thing as well as the ongoing lawsuit. The point of it is that we need to have a real discussion. People in business, men, human beings, resolve differences. These people can't come to the table and discuss issues."
