Eminem legal wranglings update

DeAngelo Bailey will continue his $1 million lawsuit against Eminem despite his lawyer withdrawing, while Mariah Carey criticised Eminem's threat to use her voicemails.

That former schoolmate of Eminem who is suing the rapper for $1 million after he labelled him an abusive bully on the track 'Brain Damage' has said he will continue with his case even though he has fallen out with his lawyer. Attorney John Chupa, who was representing DeAngelo Bailey, earlier this week asked to be removed from the case because of "a breakdown in communications with his client". But Bailey has said he will still attend the court hearing on 30 May to pursue his claim for compensation after his "reputation was ruined" by the song.

Elsewhere in Eminem world, Mariah Carey has described Eminem as "a little girl" for threatening to use her voice messages on a record. As previously reported Slim Shady is rumoured to be considering using slushy messages left on his machine by Mariah during their brief liaison last year on a new track. Speaking to The Sun Mariah said: "I don't think he should do that because it will get him in a bit of trouble with my lawyers. If he is thinking of using a voicemail I left a year ago it is crazy. It feels like he is engaging in a catfight with me. It's like dealing with a girlfriend in seventh grade. It's like fighting with a little girl. It's childish."
