Eminem was back in the public eye in Detroit on Wednesday, 13 May, when he attended the Pistons' play-off game at Little Caesars Arena and drew a standing ovation alongside 50 Cent, even as reports swirled the same day that his ex-wife Kim Scott had been arrested again in Michigan.
The rapper, who arrived in a black hoodie, sunglasses and a chain, has not publicly commented on Scott's latest legal trouble.
At Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Eminem, 53, appeared relaxed and in good spirits as he sat courtside for the Pistons' playoff clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dressed down in a black hoodie, sunglasses, silver chain and watch, with Air Max 90s on his feet, he settled in alongside his long-time collaborator and friend 50 Cent.
The pair were shown on the arena jumbotron and, according to onlookers, were met with a standing ovation from the home crowd.
50 Cent shared a photo from their night out on Instagram with the caption: 'Detroit vibes playoffs 🔥 there is nothing like it ! @50centaction.' Eminem's long-time manager, Paul Rosenberg, also posted a selfie with both men, in which the rapper appeared to be frowning at the camera.
The expression prompted teasing speculation in the comments, including one user asking, 'Why EM look like that', and another crudely wondering, 'Did Em have a stroke?' As of writing, there is no evidence in the reporting to support any health concerns, and Eminem himself has not addressed the remarks.
What the night did underline was the enduring fascination with the Detroit star when he steps outside his famously private routine. TMZ noted that the last timeEminem and 50 Cent were photographed courtside together at an NBA Finals game in Detroitwas back in 2005.
While Eminem was soaking up applause in the arena, events several miles away painted a far darker picture for his ex-wife.
Chesterfield Township Police Detective Sergeant Joseph Feld Scott told media that Kim Scott was taken into custody on Wednesday night after allegedly hitting a parked car in the 21 Mile Zone, near her home outside Detroit.
The incident was reported at around 9.20pm, and she was later booked at Macomb County Jail on suspicion of driving under the influence. No injuries were reported.
