Eminem is applying for a legal gagging order to stop his ex-wife Kim Mathers from "bad mouthing" him.
The rapper - real name Marshall Mathers - will appear in Detroit's Macomb Circuit Court to apply for the order.
Legal documents state Eminem wants to prevent his former spouse from bad-mouthing him in public to protect their 11-year-old daughter Hailie from "humiliation and hostility"
Kim has publicly accused the rapper of "slacking very much" with regard to his parental responsibilities and claims there is "nothing positive" between him and Hailie.
In February, Kim appeared on Detroit's Wkqi-FM's Mojo In The Morning radio show where she revealed intimate details of their relationship.
She said of the rapper: "I can't stand him. He's an absolutely horrible person, and he gets worse every day. I vomit in my mouth whenever I'm around him or I hear his name."
She also described sex with her ex-husband as "bad" saying, "He's not very well endowed."
Kim added, "If you're going to have sex with Marshall, make sure you have a little blue pill (Viagra), because otherwise it does not work."
Eminem released a statement through his publicist Dennis Dennehy saying: "It's a shame that I've moved on and Kim hasn't.
"Her ongoing press campaign is doing nothing but harm to the children, and for that I feel truly sorry. For their sake I wish she would stop."
The couple first married in 1999 but divorced two years later. They remarried in January 2006 and Eminem filed for divorce in April of that year. The divorce was finalised in December.
The couple also have custody of Hailie's cousin Alaina.
Rap megastar Eminem and his high school sweetheart divorced for a second time Tuesday, less than a year after they remarried.
Eminem and Kim Mathers agreed to divide property under terms of a private settlement and to share custody of their 10-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade Scott. They told a judge they understood the divorce was final.
The couple “conducted themselves with dignity and respect,” Circuit Judge Antonio P. Viviano said. “All in all, they are a very fine couple to deal with.”
Eminem, 34, declined to comment after the brief hearing as two men whisked him into a black Cadillac Escalade. Mathers, 31, did not speak to reporters.
Eminem and Mathers remarried Jan. 14. He filed for divorce April 5. They first married in 1999 in a secret ceremony in Missouri, and divorced in 2001.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, has won nine Grammy Awards, including best rap album, for “The Slim Shady LP,” “The Marshall Mathers LP” and “The Eminem Show.” He won an Oscar for the song “Lose Yourself” from “8 Mile,” the semi-autobiographical 2002 film in which he starred.
