Eminem's net worth in 2018 is 210 million dollars. 42.108.34.181 (talk) 16:41, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That needs to be cited. Please provide a source for this figure. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 18:32, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Extreme edit warring

I don't know what about, but it appears we are having an unusually high level of edit warring. I'm not sure what we're arguing about, but it has to stop. I notice both involved editors are capable of breaching ECP, so we'd need to do something else to sanction this editing if this escalates much further. Is anyone else with me? I just want it to stop. dannymusiceditor ^oops 02:08, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Feud with Kelly

This page erroneously states that Hailie Jade Scott, Mathers' daughter, is 15 years younger than Colson Baker (Machine Gun Kelly) . Hailie, born in 1995, is actually 5 years younger than Baker, who was born in 1990 and is now 28. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.229.244.13 (talk) 17:52, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The next day, in Warren, Michigan, he was arrested again for assaulting John Guerrera in the parking lot of the Hot Rock Café when he saw him kissing his wife.[240][241] Eminem recreated the Guerrera assault in "The Kiss (Skit)" on The Eminem Show. He pleaded guilty to possession of a concealed weapon and assault, and received two years' probation; however, Guerrera's assault charge was dropped as part of the plea agreement.[242]

The next day, in Warren, Michigan, he was arrested again for assaulting John Guerra in the parking lot of the Hot Rock Café when he saw him kissing his wife.[240][241] Eminem recreated the Guerra assault in "The Kiss (Skit)" on The Eminem Show. He pleaded guilty to possession of a concealed weapon and assault, and received two years' probation; however, Guerra's assault charge was dropped as part of the plea agreement.[242]

According to several sources, including:

https://www.eonline.com/news/41167/eminem-strikes-a-deal-pleads-guilty https://genius.com/30835

The man Eminem assaulted at the time was not named Guerrera, but Guerra. The name "Guerrera" appears in the lyrics to Eminem's "Sing for the Moment" as he could not use his real name due to a mediation agreement he had signed during the lawsuit. Milersky (talk) 19:17, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Eminem was active in 1988

Picture

Hey, the picture the article uses in the info box for Marshall is unflattering for several reasons.

Is there another option? Even if it must be candid, it could be better timed and under better lighting.
