According to mtv.com, Eminem was in on the prank played by actor Sacha baron Cohen at Sunday’s MTV music video awards. Baron Cohen playing his character Bruno hung from the strings of the Gibson Amphitheater, in Los Angeles and fell on Eminem’s face. Eminem got up and stormed out of the theatre.At the time it did not seem like it was a prank but in the end it was.Eminem spoke with rapradar.com about what happened. He said he was talking to baron Cohen about the prank since he is a really big fan of his work and he agreed to do the funny stunt. It makes sense for Eminem to be in on the prank because of the he wanted a lot of attention because he just put out his new album, relapse two weeks ago. Now everyone knows him more than they did before.
