Slim Shady may not be known as such for much longer. The rapper's weight is said to have surpassed 200 lbs. which may be the least of his health concerns.

According to TMZ, Eminem was rushed to a Detroit-area hospital over the holidays due to a serious heart condition and pneumonia.

This health scare comes just a month after Eminem's mom, Debbie Nelson, released a book where she claimed her son had lost control of his life.

As SOHH previously reported, Nelson recently released the tell-all-book, entitled My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem in the U.K. In it, she claimed Em has battled depression for quite some time. Nelson also alleged that her son's mood was at its worst following his 2006 break up with long-time girlfriend and mother of his only child, Kim.

Eminem's publicist told TMZ: "Over the holidays, Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, was under doctor's care at a Detroit-area hospital for complications due to pneumonia. He has since been released and is doing well recovering at home."
