Eminem Stabbed in NYC / Death Hoax Targets "Lose Yourself" Rapper [PHOTOS]

Eminem is not dead. For all of you that believed the "death hoax" rumor floating around the Internet, log off and go outside.

Back in May, Eminem was the victim of a rumor posted on Facebook that the "Lose Yourself" rapper was stabbed repeatedly in New York City and left for dead. A companion photo of the alleged rapper, with a new album out in November, was attached to the hoax. Though I will admit it does look a little like Mr. Mathers, it's not!

Every few weeks the rumor mill starts back up again. Back in August the story, which Em was in fact recovering from stab wounds, got bigger than ever.

How could he have been stabbed in NYC when he was on tour in August? When the rumors starting circulating again, Em was busy rapping his butt off all that month on a different continent.

Sure Shady probably has a private jet that he could have made a 24-hour round trip to the Big Apple, but did he? No!

Now it's September and the Eminem death hoax is still alive and kicking.

I can see why the "Lose Yourself" rapper always seems in a bad mood.

Eminem joins the ranks of Jackie Chan and Sir Paul McCartney as victims of online death pranks.
