Eminem’s Former Bodyguard Says He Could’ve killed him in an Armed Standoff.
Last month, Eminem’s former bodyguard, Byron “Big Naz” Williams reveals that Dr. Dre’s rival Suge Knight ordered the wolves to Kill Eminem during the 2001 Source Awards. Williams retold a story about Dr. Dre’s rival Suge Knight ordering the wolves on Slim Shady during the 2001 Source Awards (a hit that Williams claimed he averted with the help of Dre’s muscle) about a month ago. Williams claims that the “former bodyguard” statement on his résumé came as a direct result of a ghetto quick-draw confrontation the two had — with loaded weapons — in his latest episode on the Murder Master Music Show.
Now in a new segment on the Murder Master Music Show, He’s back with another story of how his relationship with Marshall ended. He reveals that he could’ve killed him in an armed standoff. “The last time that I seen Em, we both had our hands on our weapons, That’s the last time I seen him. We had our hands on our guns man.” Williams tells Prez and Mac Jay Of MMM show.”That’s how the relationship ended with Em and I, we had our hands on our guns. And you know what’s funny? That was the same gun that I took Eminem to go get registered. In fact, he didn’t have any cash on him at the time and I paid for the gun to be registered.”
Williams continues, “It was about the money! It started off as a misunderstand and it ended up being about money after a resignation and then it got ugly.” He says that Slim was the one who showed his weapon first, which leads to williams to do the same. “The day him and I met (my gun) was definitely loaded, I didn’t have any intentions on trying to do anything to him but I knew how this guy could be, and I was trying to get my money. I was trying to do it in a peaceful manner and he was the first one to draw. The question I always ask myself is was it loaded? I know mines was…I had to be the bigger person, and I always been the bigger person within that entire camp. I told him ‘I loved you like a brother, and it didn’t have to come down to this, but we will handle it in a different way.’ I was heated, man. And he knew that he had crossed the line. And even then, and all of that, I still forgave him. Although, as quick as I forgave him, I could have took him outta here.”
No explanation is needed as to what “took him outta here” entails. Williams predicted even with claiming self-defense, he would have been convicted in some form or fashion because Eminem was “the golden boy of Hip Hop.”
In regards to the aforementioned tell-all book, Williams claims that Hollywood heavyweights Ron Howard and Danny DeVito have approached him in the hopes of adapting it into a film. Naz eventually left without escalating the conflict to a firefight. Slim Shady’s narrative may have ended up like Pop Smoke’s or that of many other rappers who are surrounded by people with loaded guns and quick tempers.
Naz still believes he was “working on integrity,” as he put it. Em, on the other hand, did not share this sentiment and believed that a holiday bonus for a man who had abandoned him in the heat of the battle was needless. Naz must have made a lot more money off his book during his time with Eminem.
