Man who broke into Eminem’s Metro Detroit house twice found guilty
- On May 7, 2025, Matthew David Hughes, 32, was convicted for breaking into Eminem's Clinton Township residence twice, facing charges that included home invasion in the first degree and stalking with aggravating factors.
- In April 2020, Hughes unlawfully entered Eminem's suburban Detroit home while the rapper was inside and later accepted a plea deal resulting in five years' probation; however, he subsequently breached the terms of his probation related to another assault charge.
- After parole release in May 2024, Hughes returned to Eminem's property in August, was arrested days later, and remained in custody pending sentencing scheduled for June 17, 2025.
- During the initial break-in, Hughes threw a brick to break a window, woke Eminem, told police he was there to kill Eminem, and was found inside the home, according to court testimony and law enforcement reports.
- The convictions prevent Hughes from contacting Eminem and highlight repeated stalking behaviors, implying ongoing legal consequences and increased protection for the rapper.
