A man has been arrested after sneaking into Eminem's mansion in Detroit at the beginning of April with nocturnality, treachery and a lot of fan madness. As much as the entire world is confined due to the expansion of the Coronavirus, the young man Matthew David Hughes, 26, gave Eminem the surprise of his life earlier this month, as we have read in Complex, where it is specified that the rapper himself faced the home invader, since his security team was asleep. According to the first investigations, good old Matthew did not intend to harm Em, of whom he declares himself a fan. Will we have a sequel to the theme Apartment in sight?

Eminem already warned him in The way I am: You don't even let me shit. Fortunately or unfortunately, 20 years have passed since then, and as much as we like their new album, Music to be murdered by is not The Marshall Mathers LP. That said, Eminem still has enthusiastic fans willing to commit a full-fledged home invasion.
The events date back to some day in April, specifically at four in the morning. No member of the security team of the mansion where Eminem lives (in a luxurious private district of Detroit) remained awake at the moment in which this young man (in theory a fan of the rapper), he snuck into her house by breaking the kitchen window.
As soon as the glass was broken, the security alarm at Eminem's mansion went off. The rapper woke up and went down to the living room of his house to find the shock of his life. Neither the video of Godzilla I could get over that.
All sources indicate that the young man only wanted to see Eminem in person. TMZ, which has been the 1st media outlet to report this bizarre news, assures that Eminem's security team pounced on the young man as soon as the security alarm began to sound.

We as americans already predicted it
Unlike what happens in the Eminem song we as americans (song from Eminem's 4th album, Again, in which he advocates for the right to be able to have weapons at home), the invader did not cut the telephone line. In fact, Eminem held him and called the police, who took him prisoner and accused him of a first degree crime.
There's an intruder, in my house
I cut my phone line, can't dial out
I scream for police, but I doubt
They're gonna hear me, when I shout
There is an invader, in my house
The phone line has been cut, I can't call
I scream for the police to come
But I doubt they can hear me when I scream
eminem, we as americans
Eminem's mansion: a palace in Detroit
Eminem lives secluded in a mansion of 1579 square meters in the district of Rochester Hills, in Detroit. It is valued at 2 million dollars and each of the rooms is a suite. As he recently stated in an interview with Sway on his Shade 45 radio station, Eminem was already living in lockdown even before the spread of the Coronavirus: it's no secret that Eminem's fame has prevented him from living a normal life since he reached stardom in 1999 with his first album, The Slim Shady LP (click here to see the special 20th anniversary edition of the LP).
