T.I. CALLS ON EMINEM FOR HELP AFTER PAL'S DEATH

T.I. turned to fellow rapper EMINEM after his best friend was shot dead outside an Ohio club - because he felt the STAN hitmaker could help him overcome his grief.

T.I. and EMINEM

T.I., real name Clifford Harris Jr., was left devastated after pal Philant Johnson was killed in 2006 - and picked up the phone to Eminem, who had gone through a similar emotional upheaval following the death of his D12 bandmate Proof in 2006.

He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "When Proof died, that was a connection: that he lost his best partner and I lost my best partner.

"He (Eminem) was calling me and keeping my spirits up and letting me know I can get through this.

"He said, 'Man, I had gotten in so much trouble, and everybody thought it was over for me too. You know, if I can get through what I went through, you can get through what you're going through.'"
