Eminem has crowned his big comeback by winning Best Male at the MTV EMAs in Berlin.

The rapper released his Relapse record earlier in 2009 after three years away from the music scene and his and well publicised drug problems.

Slim Shady was not at the ceremony but sent a video message saying: “Sorry I cant be there I’m hard at work on my next album. I wanna say thank you to all my fans and thank you MTV.”

Em also released singles We Made You - which poked fun at a host of celebs - and Beautiful this year, and of course had Bruno drop in on him at the MTV Movie Awards.

He beat other nominees including Robbie Williams, Kanye West and Jay-Z.

Shakira performed afterwards flanked by dancers and wearing a metallic dress.
