Marshall Bruce Mathers III, also known as Eminem, is celebrating his 53rd birthday on Friday, representing a major milestone in a career that has shaped the face of global hip-hop for more than 30 years.
Rising from the streets of Detroit to become one of the most influential rappers of all time, Eminem’s impact on music, culture, and lyricism is undeniable.
Known for his razor-sharp wordplay, raw storytelling, and fearless commentary, he has sold over 220 million records worldwide and earned countless accolades, including 15 Grammy Awards and an Academy Award.
In 2024, Eminem released The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), a bold and introspective album that symbolically laid to rest his infamous alter ego. The project debuted at No. 1 on charts around the globe and was praised for its lyrical depth, self-reflection, and maturity — proving that even after three decades, he’s still evolving as an artist.
As he turns 53, Eminem stands not just as a rap icon but as a cultural force whose influence continues to inspire new generations of artists and fans alike.
Eminem was among the big winners at the 2025 American Music Awards, which were held live in Las Vegas.
