A con man has impersonated Eminem in Detroit to scam the locals under the guise of the rapper’s authentic foundation.
Back in February 2022, a man impersonating Eminem tried to scam a local man who was looking for help to care for his injured grandson.
The imposter had offered to help pay for his injured grandson’s bills but was asking for cash. Another imposter claimed to be the rapper from Detroit, allegedly asking people outside Michigan to schedule private concerts with him in an attempt to get their personal information.

According to the outlet, the first case that emerged was Frederick Mclelland from Allen Park said he got a call from who he thought was Eminem.
The rapper, 50, does have a real charitable organisation — the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which was not involved in the fraud and has been working with the police, according to the news outlet.
Eminem’s organisation is dedicated to providing assistance to disadvantaged and at-risk youth primarily in Detroit, Michigan and its surrounding communities.
