Eminem Rehab, Heroin Addiction HOAX! 'MMLP2' Rapper NOT 'Quitting Music,' Fake Drug Buzz Sparks Twitter Outcry, #RIPSlimShady

Rapper Eminem had a troubling addiction to prescription drugs several years ago. Now, the 41-year-old MMLP2 emcee is completely drug-free and healthy - so do NOT believe rumors that Shady recently checked into rehab for issues involving heroin. NOT true!

Just to be clear, Huzlers is a FAKE entertainment news website. Which means Eminem isn't "quitting music" in order to kick his latest drug addiction. The bogus report reads:

ROCHESTER HILLS

Rapper Marshall Mathers, known by his stage name 'Eminem', allegedly said "I'm done with this music sh*t" after checking into rehab again, only this time for a Heroin addiction.

The rapper was recovering from a cocaine addiction for about 6 years until he released his first album back titled 'relapse' in 2009. Now it has been revealed that Eminem is battling a new addiction, but not cocaine.. it's Heroine. It is being said by Eminem's management that he will no longer be making music. Eminem's manager Paul Rosenburg said "It may take Marshall another four or five years to recover, but this time, he won't be coming back to make music, he want's to focus more on his family after, and we should all respect his decision. we know that drugs have been a struggle for him for the last decade, it's a tough battle".

Eminem has yet to respond to the story and isn't expected to, since Mr. Mathers isn't a fan of the media. We will bring you more details as soon as the more news unfolds.

Nonsense. The "about us" section of the site claims:

Huzlers.com is a combination of real shocking news and satirical entertainment to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief.

This story is indeed satirical. In fact, the Detroit native is doing quite well and will release a new collaboration album (Shady XV) in November.

Still, Twitter fans were in total shock. Thanfully, most (but not all) assumed the disturbing rumors were fake:
