The 26-year-old man who was arrested for breaking into Eminem’s Michigan home in April reportedly had sinister plans for the legendary MC. According to a tweet from courtroom reporter Nick Perreault, suspect Matthew Hughes was there to kill Slim Shady.
“Court. Eminem news,” Perreault tweeted on Wednesday (September 9). “‘Mr. Mathers (Eminem) said Matthew Hughes told him he was there to kill him.’ Detective said that’s what Eminem told him after his home was broken into in April. Hughes (pictured) faces felony charges. Case now heads to Macomb County Circuit court September 28.”
Perreault added Eminem wasn’t at the court hearing while providing some additional details about the break-in.
“Eminem was not in court today,” he wrote. “Bond remains $50,000 cash surety for Mr. Hughes. Investigation showed a window was broken, Mathers security team responded. At first Mathers thought Hughes was his nephew, but it was dark & Mathers soon realized he did not know the man in his home.”
Hughes had reportedly been stalking Eminem for months before he finally made contact with the multiplatinum-selling artist. In June 2019, he was arrested for trespassing on two properties as he looked for Slim Shady.
Hughes allegedly approached a home in Rochester Hills, Michigan around 2 a.m. local time and threw a rock through a window, waking up the homeowner. Hughes had disappeared by the time police arrived at the scene, but the homeowner said he returned and told him he was “looking for my brother Marshall [Mathers].”
Hughes then moved on to another property in nearby Oakland Township, which had been owned by Eminem at one point. Around 4:30 a.m. local time, he was able to bypass security and a gated entrance to continue his search. Police said he rang the doorbell and wanted to know where Eminem was.

As noted in the police report, the homeowner told Hughes Shady no longer lived there and ordered him to leave. Hughes initially appeared to comply, but police eventually found him hiding under a bed on the second floor of the property’s gatehouse.
Consequently, Hughes was arrested for breaking and entering. Police quickly realized Hughes was the same person who broke the window in Rochester Hills, so he was also charged with malicious destruction of property.
The April break-in was clearly much more serious. Using a paving stone, Hughes was able to gain access through a kitchen window as Eminem’s security team slept. Em stumbled downstairs around 4 a.m. local time and came face-to-face with his intruder who’d managed to get into the living room. An alarm had gone off, but it was Eminem’s yelling that ultimately woke his security up. They were able to subdue Hughes until police arrived.

Hughes was booked on charges of two felony charges, including first-degree home invasion and malicious destruction of a building.
Had Hughes had the opportunity to enact his plan, Eminem might not be here today. Celebrities have often been the targets of deranged fans. In 1980, The Beatles’ John Lennon was shot and killed by Mark David Chapman outside of his apartment building in New York City. He remains behind bars and was just denied parole for the 11th time.
This is how these retarded stans look like in real life. You knows those idiots who always troll here and everywhere on social media calling Eminem the goat and every verse always the greatest and people are jealous of his skin because he a white boy rapping lol. Keep in mind, this guy is how majority of his fan base looks likr. All deranged people
And then there are the Stan Stans like you who obsess over a group of people who obsess over a rapper. What is the fuckin difference?? If YOU don’t rock with Em, then why are you here to talk about him and who loves him? Just some weirdo shit.
Feminem … your racism is in full display … now if a white guy said “all (Insert black artist) fans look like criminals” you would literally cry foul and inequality … and everything white people do that someone else does first … they do better … wether any genre of music or even slavery … Africans/Spanish/Persians created slavery … white people said hold my beer … Africans say they created societies (albeit living in huts and farming with sticks) … white people said hold my blunt … white people said hold my wallet … and now you have the richest society in history … including the black community …. you are welcome
You are 100% correct Em is a dope fiend also.. hopefully he will get back on meth.. he deserves it… wack ass old toothless man… with all ratta Tatt tatta ass old school booty rhyme style.. all his fans can eat huge piles of dog shit.. hell theyre all on dog food anyway…
Inbred Stan or Meth Stan???
I doubt he was there to kill him, but I guess it sounds better for the media. Who knows.
Really! Are you a retard?
Real life Bad Guy shit right here.
That dude ain’t no 26 he 18 but most em fans do meth and this is the result he look 70 lmaooo
Where to you get your statistics from aside from your racist ass assumptions… clown
Yes he is indeed a rat… a rat nasty old shit eater.. turned mumble bum .. even the mumble bums are better than him.. how old is he now anyway??? 50? 60?… I saw a white boy wigger yesterday with dyed blonde hair getting slapped the fuck up.. Funny how white people try to make this old poor pie relevant.. hahaha lol ..
Need a new security team!
Whether you’re a fan or not just be glad he’s ok. He or his family could have been seriously harmed or worse. I don’t wish that on someone just because they have celebrity status or anyone for that matter
This ridiculous old white man needs to go back to the trailer trap.. nobody in Detroit listens to this clown.. Michigan people are constantly ridiculed because people outside the state think em is the top rapper …. a sad , pathetic and very much untrue.. this pale faced shit stain should just stop clogging the game..
You mad mad … and a racist naqqa … stay just the way you are, please
May the fleas of a thousand camels attack your arm pits.. you lowlife shit eating peck head… let’s both stay the we we are.. of course you obviously have no choice.. keep getting high.. it’s killing you.. I’m loving it..
I am disgusted after reading all these racist comments.
Are you disgusted because it’s a white rapper being on the receiving end ?
You and me both. Racist IDIOTS need to be put on their own PLANET, away from US.
What does him having to be a white male celebrity having his house broken into with bringing race into it? Half the people who made comments are the one trolling on the so-called stans. I like Eminem I think he’s top 10 of all time but that doesn’t mean you talk shit about someone’s life at risk or their families possible well being. Because he is such a terrible rapper he was able to get out of the trailer park. I’ll just say there’s a lot a reverse racism going on in here and you wonder why our country is so screwed up.
That security team is weak. There are after hours security teams worldwide who get paid prolly half of what Em’s gets. I hope he gets a 24/7 awake security team.
Plot twist: Dude was actually Marshall’s Grindr date.
Faqqot probably an Isham Stan or MGK d!ckrider … wish Em gunned him down before beating the sh!t out his ass …
So the “security” team was sleep and stayed sleep….time for a new team!
How do YOU know he HAD one??
