Eminem never misses an opportunity to show off his sense of humor.
Legendary rapper celebrated his 51st birthday on Tuesday, October 17, then took to X (formerly Twitter) the next day to thank fans for all the love and birthday wishes he’s received.
‘thanks 2 everyone for all the birthday wishes!!!’ Eminem wrote, before jokingly telling them all to ‘smoke!!!!!’, along with a photo of himself wearing a birthday hat.
Rapper and longtime friend Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson was among fellow emcees who sent him a message on his special day.
“Happy birthday to the living legend @Eminem,” the 48-year-old In Da Club star posted on X (formerly Twitter), along with several photos of the pair together. ‘love you to death man, God bless (…) wishing you many more.’

Joyner Lucas, with whom Eminem collaborated on the song Lucky You (2018), was also one of the people who took the time to write to Eminem on X.
The I’m Not Racist star actually took the time to share how influential Eminem has been to him over the years.
“He was the first rapper I wanted approval from.” Maybe it’s because he gave birth to my style musically and from the age of 13 this guy was like a god to me,” wrote the Worcester, Massachusetts native.
“Marshall, happy birthday and thank you for your contribution to the game AND to my life,” Lucas (born Gary Maurice ‘Joiner’ Lucas Jr.) finished, which included a video of their Lucky You music video.
Over the past few weeks, Eminem (born Marshall Bruce Mathers III) has been sharing his support for his beloved Detroit Lions, as his favorite football team came out of the gate for the 2023-24 season winning five of their first six games.
After their latest win on Sunday, October 15, over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-6 he showed his excitement on X, writing, ‘lions pride!! Detroit stand up!! @Lions.’
Last week, he was spotted making a rare public appearance with his daughter Haley Jade Scott at the Lions’ game against the Carolina Panthers at Ford Field.
The St. Joseph, Missouri native, who also grew up in the Detroit area as a pre-teen, shared a game photo of himself flexing his biceps inside his stadium suite, as well as a video of him cheering n the team played his hit song Lose Yourself (2002).
‘Detroit strong!!! let’s f***mo gooooo!!!!’ he signed the post.
