A man suspected of breaking into Eminemโ€™s home reportedly told the rapper he was there to kill him when the two came face-to-face, according to court testimony in the criminal case.

The break-in happened at Eminemโ€™s Clinton Township home around 4 a.m. on Sunday, April 5, 2020 when the suspect, 27-year-old Matthew David Hughes, allegedly threw a brick paver into a back window to get inside and sneaked around the rapperโ€™s personal security guard.

Hughes wasnโ€™t armed when he was discovered in Eminemโ€™s home in Clinton Township, Michigan. Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, was sleeping and thought the man was his nephew.

โ€œWhen Mr. Mathers asked him why he was there, he was told by Mr. Hughes that he was there to kill him,โ€ Officer Adam Hackstock told Judge Jacob Femminineo Jr.

Eminem escorted Hughes out of the house, Hackstock testified.

โ€œIn my opinion, I think thereโ€™s some sort of mental issues involved here,โ€ defense attorney Paul Glanda said outside court, referring to Hughes.

This is probably a pretty accurate assumption Mr. Glanda.
