Hip hop superstar Eminem is taking no chances with security on his recent trip to Britain - he's got an amazing 200 minders protecting him from his enemies.

The Lose Yourself rapper has hired the imposing team of security guards - many of whom have been trained by London's METROPOLITAN POLICE - to ensure his safety as he tours the country with friend and former crack cocaine dealer 50 CENT.

A source close to him reveals, "Em knows he has made enemies and doesn't want to take any chances. He orders full-scale searches of any hotel before arriving and then uses guards to block off his floor."

The 8 MILE star - who has been staying at the LANDMARK hotel in London during his visit - has also hired four lookalikes to trick would be attackers.
