Eminem meets a fan through the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Once again Eminem makes a fan’s dream come true as the rapper took some time for a meeting session. The rapper again collaborated with the Make-a-wish Foundation to fulfill fans’ dreams.
This time, the rapper met a young fan named “Stanley”, similar to Stan’s name in the iconic Eminem song. “thank you to Make-A-Wish and Eminem for granting Stanley’s wish yesterday. It was the most unforgettable and special experience ever. Words cannot express the gratitude I have, along with Stanley’s dad for the opportunity to make this happen!,” wrote Stanley’s caretaker Mariana on X (formerly Twitter).
“three quick things: 1. I am not Stanley’s mother, I am his caretaker for almost six years now 2. Stanley wants to let everyone know that his name is actually “Stanley” but he wasn’t named after the song “stan,” he was named after the Stanley Cup! 3. we are from Metro-Detroit,” she added.

A few years back, Eminem met a fan named Alex Beulke, who shared her experience of meeting the Detroit legend. “He was a little bit shy, but I got to spend half an hour with him; I just expected five minutes,” she said. “He gave us a massive gift bag that had everything you could buy at the merchandise stand. Then he signed whatever we wanted him to sign and let us take photos.”
She continued, “The first question I asked him was what his favorite song was of all his music, and he said either “Lose Yourself” or “Mockingbird” because that’s something for his daughters. I also asked him who his favorite artist was to collaborate with, and he said, Royce or Dr. Dre. But he also asked me some questions. He was really interested in my music, and he was really impressed because he thought I might only like rap music, but I have a very broad range. And I got to a Phil Collins concert earlier that month, so he was really impressed with the broad range. He asked me how many people the [Melbourne Cricket Ground] holds, and I said a hundred thousand but that you expect about 80,000 people to come, and he was just blown away by that. Even on stage that night, he said, ‘This is the most amount of people I’ve ever seen in one area’.”
