A man named Miad J. says he was punched in the face by rapper Eminem early Thursday. He says he was hit 4 or 5 times while using the mens room at a local strip club.

Witnesses say Eminem was at the Cheetahs strip club on 8 Mile Road in Detroit Wednesday night, accompanied by an entourage.

Miad J. spoke to 7 Action News Thursday afternoon and said he was hit by the celebrity rapper at about 1 a.m. Thursday.

Miad says he was in the mens room, using a urinal next to Eminem, when another man entered the mens room and started to talk to the rapper.

He says one of Eminems bodyguards told the man to be quiet. Miad says he then asked the bodyguard to ease up on the star struck man in the restroom.

"Eminem got done and boom," Miad recounts. "He started swinging."

"I wasnt even expecting it," Miad said Thursday. "I was just minding my own business, taking a leak."

Detroit police would like to hear Eminems side of the story and then they say they will present their case to the prosecutors office for possible charges.

No one from Eminems camp or from Cheetahs strip club would comment on the alleged incident Thursday evening.

Miad insists it was Eminem who hit him and left him with a knot on the side of his face.

After he was punched, Miad says Eminem left the club and Cheetahs bouncers threw the rappers bodyguards out of the club.

As one of the vehicles in Eminems entourage was pulling out from the club, witnesses tell police the rapper known as Trick Trick pulled out a gun. While Trick Trick did not point it at anyone, witnesses outside the club did see the weapon.
