The fight allegedly started at around 1:15 a.m. Thursday, when a 48-year-old Royal Oak, Michigan, man identified only as “Miad J” says Eminem punched him in the face four or five times in the men’s room at Cheetah strip club.
The victim told local ABC News affiliate WXYZ that he was using a urinal next to Eminem when another man entered the bathroom and struck up a conversation with the rapper. At that point, Miad J. said that one of Em’s bodyguards warned the man to keep quiet. Miad J. said he told the bodyguard to relax, when the rapper suddenly lost his temper. “Eminem got done and boom, he started swinging,” Miad recounted to WXYZ. “I wasn’t even expecting it. I was just minding my own business, taking a leak.”
