"Eminem has never nationally endorsed any commercial products and therefore he indicated, though his manager, that even if he were interested in endorsing a product, any endorsement deal would require a significant amount of money, possibly in excess of $10m," the 15-page lawsuit says. The suit, filed in the US District Court in Detroit, has not named a specific amount of damages being sought but says that Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, could earn more than $10m (£5.29m) for any endorsement he did.
