In a nice turn of events, Eminem has disclosed that he will donate the proceeds of his victorious lawsuit against New Zealand's National Party (for using a song which sounded similar to Eminem’s 'Lose Yourself' in a campaign advert) towards hurricane relief efforts in North and Central America.
NZ High Court Judge Helen Cull ruled in favour of Eminem's case earlier this week, and the National Party were ordered to pay NZD$600,000 to Eight Mile Style, the rapper's publisher.
A statement released by a spokesperson for Eminem said: "Eminem was not a party to this lawsuit nor was he consulted regarding the case. Any monetary settlement he receives from it will be donated to hurricane relief. He encourages the plaintiffs, Eight Mile Style, to do the same."
