Eminem has received death threats from supporters of Osama bin Laden, according to reports.
The video for his new hit single Without Me shows the rap singer making fun of of the terror warlord by wearing a beard and robes and dancing around as "Bin Shady".
His joke is believed to have offended bin Laden's Al Qaeda network, and US intelligence agents have informed Eminem that a bounty has been placed on his head.
A source told the Daily Star: "Eminem has had no choice but to take the threat very seriously.
"He's hired more professional bodyguards to protect him and updated his home's security system.
"He's even consulted a specialist in counter-terrorism on what precautions to take."
The Detroit star has often courted controversy with references to sex, drugs and violence in his songs.
In the past he has been convicted of carrying a concealed weapon and claims to take ecstasy while on stage.
I don't know how credible this is, but it's prett interesting.

first of all, I don't believe this. It's probably just a way of creating even more media attention. But if it is....
what goes around comes around... Maybe he'll learn that his "controversy" (whatever the fuck THAT may be... ), of which he always talks has a down side aswell....
that's right! pissing people of isn't JUST a way of getting attention/making money....it also.....**drumroll**....PISSES PPL OFF
And well... pissing off the wrong people may not be such a smart thing to do
