Did the rapper Eminem announce in April 2025 that he would hold a concert in Israel in June? No, that's not true: A poster shared widely on social media billed the show as the star's "first time in Israel" and gave a date of June 1, 2025. However, no such announcement could be found on Eminem's official website or social media channels, and a representative for him told Lead Stories the claim was "untrue."
The fake poster appeared in an April 7, 2025, post on X (archived here). The poster consisted of a photo of the rapper and the following embedded text:
EMINEM
FIRST TIME IN ISRAEL
1/6/2025
This is what it looked like at the time of writing:

The poster used the European "day/month/year" format to refer to a June 1, 2025 concert. However, Eminem had made no such announcement, as of April 10, and the poster appeared to have been created by someone not affiliated with the performer.
Lead Stories searched Eminem's official website, as well as his Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube accounts for mention of Israel dates in 2025, and found no relevant entries or posts.
If Eminem had confirmed or announced a concert in Israel for June 2025, it is inconceivable that that would not have been mentioned on any of those official channels.
In an email, Dennis Dennehy, chief communications officer for AEG Presents and a spokesperson for Eminem, told Lead Stories the claim was "untrue."
