Eminem says the recent wave of his unreleased music that leaked online was never meant to be heard by the public.

On Wednesday, January 15, the Detroit rapper’s spokesperson Dennis Dennehy addressed the unsanctioned music that appeared online earlier this week. In the statement, Em’s team confirms the songs are real but was “never meant for public consumption.”

“These leaked songs were studio efforts never meant for public consumption… demos, experiments and ideas that are dated and not relevant so many years later,” the statement said. “The latest in a line of unfinished material released against artists’ will and without their permission.”

Fans were stunned when numerous songs from Eminem’s extensive career appeared online. Among the slew of unofficial were collaborations with
Anderson .Paak, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Slaughterhouse, and the late Nate Dogg. One song in particular called “Smack You” appeared to be a diss track aimed at Ja Rule and Suge Knight.

“I don’t know why the f**k you even gotta get me started/I swear to God, you gotta be retarded, you’re regarded,” Em spits. “The hardest workin’ artist since ‘Pac? Stop, no, you’re not/Oh my God! Knock it off, Ja, get off his jock.”

A lot of the songs have already been removed from social media and YouTube, however, Eminem’s inner circle wasn’t happy about it. One of his close collaborators Fredwreck issued a warning to whoever leaked the tracks.

“FYI to the criminal who’s leaking Eminem’s music. We will find you. Street law will be applied,” he wrote in a now-deleted X post. “Ask ‘Koolo’ what happened to him last time he leaked. We know where he lives and yes this is a threat.”
