Eminem is bidding farewell to his notorious alter ego, Slim Shady, with the announcement of his upcoming album, “The Death of Slim Shady,” per allhiphop.com. The album marks the end of an era as Eminem prepares to lay his iconic character to rest.
The Detroit Free Press commemorated Slim Shady’s demise with an obituary, reflecting on his impact on the music industry. Highlighting his breakout single, “My Name Is,” the obituary described Slim Shady as a complex and tortured persona who led millions of fans down a dark and nihilistic path.
In a trailer for the album, starring 50 Cent, Eminem teased an investigation into Slim Shady’s murder, setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion to the character’s story.
“Join me as we recreate the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady,” a reporter declares in the trailer.
“He’s not a friend, he’s a psychopath,” 50 Cent adds ominously.
“The Death of Slim Shady” is set to be released this summer, marking the end of an era for Eminem and his infamous alter ego.
