Well, that is pretty shady. Eminem pulled a prank on fans when he announced the release of a long-awaited new studio album — allegedly his first album in four years — on April Fools' Day. The 'Real Slim Shady' rapper, 51, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, shared the phony music update in a teaser video April 1 on Instagram. The video kicks off with a snippet of Eminem's 2009 hit 'Crack a Bottle.
'Infinite,'' the actor continues as a hasty handwritten 'x2' appears above the album's title. 'Out today!' the actor adds. While some of Eminem's fans knew right away they were being pranked, others fell for his 'cruel' joke. 'There’s no way we just got April fooled by Em,' one wrote in the comments. 'Good one,' added another along with laughing emoji. 'Slim you are so goofy,' someone else wrote.
