A conspiracy theory claiming that Eminem died and was replaced by a robot is doing the rounds on the internet. That would probably explain why his music is absolute garbage these days, so let’s not dismiss it straight away.
Time to dig a little deeper…
French website, laguiadelvaron, claims: “If we remember, in 2005, Eminem went into rehabilitation for his addiction to sleeping pills.
“So the theory that runs on the Internet suggests that in 2006 (although others say that since 1999) died of an overdose of substances, so it was replaced by a person who looks exactly like him, a clone, even an android, so that the music industry would continue to generate money.”
They’ve also added in some images from a YouTube video that seem to PROVE that he’s a clone. Look! He looks different!
Yeah, I’m not convinced either.
Dropping an album with no prior indication that you’re about to do is nothing new in the music industry, but when Eminem does it, people listen.
Undoubtedly still one of the biggest and most influential names in the music industry the controversial rapper dropped Kamikaze without warning earlier this year and sent fans into meltdown.
It came only a year after Eminem released Revival last year and features ‘Venom’ which features on the soundtrack for the Marvel film.
Fans have compared the record to an era when the rapper was arguably in his prime.
@Royceda59 bro. No lie. This is 2003 Eminem! This shit is insane.

Eminem also seemingly paid tribute to the Beastie Boys with his album cover, replicating their iconic License to Ill artwork.
Eminem honors the Beastie Boys. His new “Kamikaze” album cover is an ode to the group’s classic album, “Licensed to Ill,” which dropped in 1986. It also contained 13 songs and hidden messages in the text. pic.twitter.com/87rI8VRRd9

There’s a number of impressive writing credits on the record too, with Kendrick Lamar, Bon Iver and Little Dragon and was executive produced by Dr Dre.
Kamikaze is available to stream now.
Mind slightly blown…
