Fans congratulated Eminem — born Marshall Mathers III — in the comments section of his post.
The artist has long been open about his past struggles with substance and alcohol abuse. In 2007, he suffered a near-fatal overdose after taking a large dose of methadone.
A close relationship with death forced Eminem to abandon this lifestyle and get into shape. The star weighed more than 100 kilograms while addicted to Vicodin, Valium, Ambien and methadone.
The Vicodin and Valium I've been taking for years leave a hole in my stomach. So, to avoid stomach pain, I ate constantly.
After leaving rehab, he found a way to lose weight and «function sober».
It was previously reported that Eminem's 27-year-old daughter launched a new clothing line.
