After fans spotted the hashtag, many shared their concerns on Twitter, but others pointed out that it couldn’t be true.
One worried fan tweeted: “Why is #ripeminem trending he is alive stop doing this it’s 2020 aka the worst year of all time.”

Another wrote: “BRUH I THOUGHT EMINEM ACTUALLY DIED CAUSE IT’S 2020 AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN BUT IT’S JUST YALL PLAYING TOO MUCH AGAIN #ripeminem.”
The news comes after Eminem celebrated 12 years of sobriety back in April.
The rapper decided to change his life back in 2007, after he suffered a near-fatal overdose of methadone.
