Eminem was touched by Saturday night's (10 September 05) MTV telethon for the victims of Hurricane Katrina so he decided to phoned in to offer rap peer David Banner $200,000 (GBP111,100).

The famous rapper confessed he had lost no family in the disaster but he hoped his donation would help prove all musicians are keen to do everything in their powers to aid those left devastated by the Katrina disaster in southeast America.

Eminem offered up the cash to the American Red Cross from his Shady clothing line.
