Eminem has given an interview to a 14-year-old school girl, it has been revealed.

The rapper, who appeared with Dr Dre at this year's Grammy Awards, gave the school girl an exclusive interview for her school paper after she tracked him down through his publicist Dennis Dennehy, reports BoomBox.

After her interview with Eminem, Reed said: "He grew up in Detroit, he's one of the greatest rappers of all time, and I thought it'd be fun to write about him."

She added: "It was interesting to hear how he learned from his mistakes. He told me that he dropped out of school when he was my age, and I thought about what that would be like for me if I did that right now. Then I thought, 'I like school!'."

Of the 14-year-old, Eminem's publicist Dennehy said: "I just thought, 'Wow, here's a middle school girl from Detroit who has some guts."
