In a bizarre turn of events yesterday, global rap superstar Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, was mistaken for a regular shopper at a local grocery store in Detroit. The incident took a dramatic turn when the store manager, unaware of the celebrity’s identity, scolded him for reportedly lingering too long in the aisles.

Eyewitnesses report that Eminem, dressed in a casual hoodie and jeans, was browsing the snack aisle when the manager approached him. “He was just standing there, looking at chips for like ten minutes,” said the manager, who asked to remain anonymous. “I thought he was up to something suspicious, so I told him to either buy something or leave.”

The Grammy-winning artist, known for hits like Lose Yourself and Stan, reportedly tried to explain himself but was cut off by the manager’s stern reprimand. Onlookers described the scene as tense, with Eminem appearing visibly frustrated but maintaining his composure.

The situation escalated when a nearby shopper recognized the rapper and shouted, “Yo, that’s Eminem!” The manager’s face turned pale as the realization hit. “I thought he was just some guy causing trouble,” the manager later admitted to reporters, still in disbelief. “When I realized it was Eminem, I felt like I was going to faint. I’ve been a fan since The Slim Shady LP!”

Eminem, ever the professional, reportedly brushed off the incident with a chuckle, telling the manager, “It’s all good, man. I just wanted some Doritos.” He even posed for a quick selfie with the manager and a few starstruck employees before leaving the store with his snacks.

The incident has since gone viral on social media, with fans praising Eminem for his humility. “Only Eminem would get yelled at in a store and still be cool about it,” one user posted on X. Others shared memes of the rapper holding grocery bags, captioned with lyrics from his songs.
