Eminem mother may drop lawsuit

LONDON, England -- The mother of controversial white American rapper Eminem says she may drop her $10 million lawsuit against her son.

Her words of reconciliation, in an interview to be screened on Thursday, came on the eve of Eminem's tour of Britain.

Gay rights activists have pledged to protest against the rapper, accusing him of being a homophobe who fuels prejudice with hate-filled lyrics.

Security is tight on his tour and Eminem's entourage said they had switched hotels at his first venue -- the northern city of Manchester -- to avoid clashes with gays.
