RIP Eminem: 'Eminem Is Dead' Trends As Rapper Becomes a Victim of Online Death Hoax

The #RIPeminem trend shocked social media users as a report claimed Eminem had died at the age of 51.

On X, several users shared a screenshot of a Google page result showing information about Eminem's alleged death. The rapper - born Marshall Bruce Mathers III - reportedly passed away on December 10 in Saint Joseph, Mo.

Is Eminem Really Dead?

X users continuously checked on Eminem to know his real condition, with some mentioning his social media pages. Some debunked the claims after finding out that a Wikipedia user edited the rapper's page and faked his death.

One noted, "eminem ain't dead. it said he died 12/10/23 before it was 12/10/23 in wisconsin. it's fake."

"Eminem is not dead. A Wikipedia user edited his page. Y'all need to relax," another wrote.

A third posted a meme alongside the text, "Eminem when he wakes up and finds out google pronounced him dead..."

Infuriated fans slammed the yet-to-be-identified culprit for creating the death hoax, though it was not the first time he became a subject of a similar incident.

Eminem Died in 2006 and Was Replaced With a Clone

Before the death hoax emerged, Eminem dealt with a bizarre conspiracy theory suggesting he died in 2006 after a fatal car crash. Per the theory, he was only replaced by a clone based on the "clues" online sleuths allegedly found.

"I believe that Eminem's is a clone he doesn't look the same after the so-called accident where he just disappeared for about a year he came back looking different," one of the believers said.

Some people noted that his changing appearance proved he is not the real Eminem; others said his voice changed.

The talks became more prominent after a 2013 footage of Eminem "glitching" during a live ESPN report was released.

Rapper B.o.B brought back the assumptions in 2016 when he posted a series of cryptic tweets regarding people being cloned for years. Tom Macdonalds also shared the "Cloned Rappers" music video, which claimed the Illuminati took bone samples to create the clone rappers but erased those it could not control.

On the other hand, Eminem's supporters debunked the claims and slammed those who spread fake news.

"The idea that he's a clone is one of the dumbest conspiracy theories ever. That songs from Tom was one of the worst songs he's put out. As people age, they grow and change as a person," one said.
