Kurupt, the rapper from Tha Dogg Pound, has revealed that Eminem covered the cost of his rehabilitation treatment. Speaking on the SiriusXM radio show "Sway in the Morning," Kurupt said Eminem suddenly offered to pay for his recovery while he was struggling with alcohol. He noted that treatment is expensive and that Eminem "put the cheese up"—slang for providing the money. Kurupt also said Dr. Dre helped him as well, though the report does not specify whether Dre contributed financially or in another way. The revelation came as Kurupt discussed his battle with alcohol and the support he received from fellow rappers. Neither Eminem nor Dr. Dre has publicly commented on the matter. Kurupt is known as one half of the West Coast rap duo Tha Dogg Pound, which has been active since the 1990s. The exact amount Eminem paid, or the timing of the gesture, was not disclosed in the reports.
