Eminem has reportedly been suffering from depression after his best friend was shot dead and he divorced wife Kim for the second time.
The star's spokesman told the New York Daily News he was getting better with the help of antidepressants.
According to the newspaper, the rapper slumped into a depression more than two months ago, after his former D12 bandmate Proof was killed by a gunshot wound to the head.
He and his wife split again around the same time.
But Eminem is now said to be on the mend and emerging from the low patch.
"Obviously, he's grieving," spokesman Dennis Dennehy told the newspaper.
"He is depressed as anyone would be if they lost someone that close. He had announced he was taking time off before this happened. It's his downtime."
Here is his public statement on the death of his best friend, who was also the best man at his wedding:
"You dont know where to begin when you lose somebody who's been such a big part of your life for so long. Proof and I were brothers. He pushed me to become who I am. There certainly wouldn't be a Slim Shady without him, and there probably wouldn't be an Eminem at all. Proof was funny, he was smart, he was charming. He inspired everyone around him. He lived for hip-hop and he was Detroit's unofficial ambassador. He can never, ever be replaced. He was, and always will be, my best friend."
