As the coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak havoc around the globe, the phrase “Marshall Law” started trending on Twitter early Monday (March 16) and some people actually believed that meant a new Eminem album was on its way.
They evidently failed to understand it was simply a misspelling of martial law, “the law administered by military forces that’s invoked by a government in an emergency when the civilian law enforcement agencies are unable to maintain public order and safety,” as defined by Merriam-Webster.
On Monday night, Slim Shady had to set the record straight, tweeting, “Sorry guys…Marshall Law: not a thing.”
The PSA was attached to a tweet from United States Senator Marco Rubio who apologized for contributing to the “Marshall Law” confusion.
“I apologize for the typo,” Rubio wrote. “I meant to type stupid rumors about martial law not marshall law. My bad.”
Even with the correction, the #MarshallLaw hashtag was being thrown around left and right and didn’t stop people from making jokes at Rubio’s expense. Some Twitter users even admitted they were fooled into thinking Em was dropping a new single.

Check out some of the reactions below.
Imagine if he did a Tekken inspired joint with underground Kings like the throw back Hellbound. I always felt if surrounded himself with Detroit Mcees like Elzhi and other guys like black thought he would be able to reformulate himself.
Thats the Em we been missing. Ems last album was a big step in the right direction w features n beats.. its like em made it a point b4 that album to just rhyme on shit beats so ppl will listen more 2 his words but it failed. Bad.
Wonder how long it’s gonna take for this to die down…
Lol people need to read a book for once
After the last debacle, thanks em but were good. Hopefully the last publicity stunt/album fed your incessant need for attention and can crawl back into your drug infested hole for a couple of years.
Wow you are a pathetic sad little hateful man.
You probably look like that little midget troll form south park hahaha
like your mum after i came inside her pussy behind the bar in seattle in 1997 lol ask that bitch who jayceon wilder is fuckboy
What’s even stupider is the people tweeting “eminem is running the white house now!”. First off, where do they even get that from? That just makes no sense whatsoever. Marco Rubio isn’t in Washington. Dick riders gon dick ride!
That would be a dope album title.
Did no one else notice he also misspelled martial law and used marital instead?
First thing I noticed. Also feel like tweeting the term “my bad” isn’t very senator-like.
This nigga JUST came out with an album 2 months ago…people are dumb
