Did Eminem donate $50 million "for Texas Flood Victims" and travel to any sites impacted by the natural disaster? No, that's not true: No credible media organizations reported that, as of July 7, 2025. The AI-generated text of the claim was initially published by a website that, according to its self-description, offers services "with all faults and defects without warranty of any kind".
The claim originated from an article (archived here) published on July 7, 2025, by a website named "Scoreus Livextop". It opened:
Emiпem Doпates $50M for Texas Flood Victims, Joiпs Rescυe Efforts...
The article continued:
In a moment that has stunned both the music world and communities across the nation, rap legend Eminem has stepped forward with a $50 million donation to aid victims and support search and rescue operations following the devastating flash floods that have torn through Texas.
But it wasn't just the donation that moved fans to tears. In an act that speaks louder than any lyric, Eminem personally traveled to the disaster site, rolling up his sleeves to help rescue teams and families who have lost everything.
This is what the article looked like on Scoreus Livextop at the time of writing:

Over the 2025 Independence Day weekend (archived here), Texas experienced deadly flash floods (archived here).
However, searches across Google News (archived here) and Yahoo News (archived here) did not yield reports confirming Eminem's in-person participation in rescue efforts or the supposed $50 million donation to the victims.
A search for the keywords from a quote attributed to the singer in the article (archived here) didn't produce any matches, either.
The artist's verified account on X (archived here) said nothing about that.
The website that published the article showed a disclaimer (archived here) that read:
