Something that has been bothering me is the lack of interaction Em has with other artists. Especially for moments like this. Why not taking pics with all these artists who performed with him? That would have been nice!. Then Jack White and Patty Smith received a piece of marble from the old Central Station and attended a ceremony, she read a poem written by Em for Detroit in her speech. Jack White shared a pic of Em in his IG. Artists clearly respect and admire him , don't know why his team doesn't acknowledge this. Even Steve Miller wrote a lenghty post giving Em his flowers. There was only a like from Paul. It's a pitty since Em is always described as a very down to earth and respectful guy. Maybe behind the scenes he does have contact or something like that but it would be nice to show it more since these people are praising him publicly. Idk just random thoughts lol I've always wondered about this too. A famous TikToker was there. Everyone staoped and spoke to him even the CEO of Ford and Jellyroll. Eminem just kept going and didn't even look his way. It's weird who he decides to interact with. Terrence Crawford shouted him out and he ended up going to Vegas, but I feel like that was planned and he was paid. SZA did the cover of lose yourslef and he commented. I kind of wonder if she will be on his album. It's like he wants nothing to do with it unless he is working. I also find it is interesting, looks like Paul and Tracy were there for rehearsals, but not for the actual performance. They were nowhere in sight. Only entourage was Denaun, Bizarre, John and Angela. Royce took the picture of Em, Denaun and Bizarre together at the event. It just all seemed so strange. I wondered maybe he has a severe form of anxiety. I have heard of peopel who just cna't deal with being in crowds or talking to strangers.

He does connect with other artists behind the scenes, for sure. I remember Ed Sheeran saying they keep in touch & exchange cassettes. I do believe he's an introvert, Hailie was talking about them being a family of introverts, but I think he's fun & socializes with those he feels comfortable around. I honestly think it's a good thing he didn't want to overshadow other artists. Like, they're obviously all famous but he's the one who attracts the most attention due to how reclusive he is and people are curious. I get what you are saying, but I rememeber how polarizing Michael Jackson was and he always addressed people publically when he was out for business and he had some sever mental issues. It's like, this is your job. A celebrity not engaging with peopel is like a doctor not wanting to touch people. It is just odd and it gets old. I think he must have some kind of anxiety disorder. I think if he would just say that, peopel woudl get it. There was afamous TikToker there and everyone stopped to talk to him even the CEO of Ford and Jellyroll. He asked if he could sing to them and they all stopped, Eminem and his peopel just walked by and ignored the guy. I find it so interesting since Eminem spoke about how when he was coming up he would wait outside hotels fro rappers to come out hoping he coudl talk to them. He must ahve long forgot that feeling.

I think this was leaked on purpose to tease fans. I work in a newroom, and depending on the publications size (and Billboard is huge) — after the reporter writes the story, a managing editor or editor-in-chief reviews it, and 1-2 copy editors. There is no way this was a mistake, especially with someone like Paul and Eminem who speak to very few press outlets. I think this was totally intentional and coincidentally leaked the day following the last day that you could preorder the album. I would be shocked if it was an accident. It is no in teh article, but was there long enough for other outlets to pick it up.

Even more so because he had a big part in this project. It’s almost like hosting a party and not acknowledging all your guest. It would have to be some sort of high form of anxiety or stage prep thing and needs to “zone in.” Can’t just be an introvert, Because most aren’t shy, they just need a break after dealing with people.

He didn’t take any pictures with anyone at his rhof induction either. I mean maybe behind the scenes but there was nothing with any fans at all.

Good one alphagirl!

Maybe man didn't feel like going to the event, but he had to and if he doesn't feel like going at that moment like a wrote and photographed every time, with everyone, this can also create repulsion at one point, people have to understand that too. He is very cultured and polite and sometimes that is enough ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . If someone is famous, it doesn't automatically mean that you have to take a picture with them. He was great in his performance, he did his job and that´s it ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Phases of anxiety are sometimes more pronounced but it is not just anxiety there are many things that contribute to it, now and in the past. There are probably a lot of things in the "game". A terribly complex situation. Even the wrong choice of doctor can literally destroy a person. A very, very gentle and sensitive soul.

You are right , he isn’t obligated to take pictures with fans every time he steps out. This is his job and the fans are the ones who buy his music and merch and go to his concerts so I don’t think it would hurt for him to do pictures or a meet and greet after shows once in awhile. I get he may have anxiety about doing that type of stuff but he could take a couple pics or sign some stuff. Simple and brief doesn’t have to be crazy.

He's definitely anxious, an introvert & interacting with fans doesn't really come naturally to him... like it does to Rihanna, for example.
Eminem is more like Beyoncé in that sense, you never see her interact with her fans either; honestly... I don't mind. Back in the day... stars never interacted with their fans, that's something that really started with Rihanna using social networks to meet her fans & build relationships.
And I think he did stop to take pictures with fans, I think it was during Kamikaze era? I remember a video, he was walking towards something then turned around and approached the fence to meet the fans.
I don't know. I think he's just awkward like that, LOL.
I'm personally sad he doesn't really do Europe outside of UK. I'd even go to UK just to see him once but I don't think it'll happen and that's sad because he has a lot of fans over here.
And, yeah: his team is controlling about his image. So there is that, too.

Agreed. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that's gonna chat up a room and mingle with everyone. He just seems like more of an observer and chooses his words wisely. So it makes sense that he wouldn't just be all like HEY FANS!! IT'S ME!! It seems like he really doesn't like the attention.

He definitely isn’t a mingler and If I were in his position i would make my way to the exit as fast as I can lol. I just think it’s weird sometimes when you think he would take pictures and stuff he doesn’t. For example his own rhof induction and stuff like that. He has every right not to and I understand the reasons he doesn’t want to. I don’t know about everyone else but I’m too shy to stand around and wait to see him or get a picture 😬😆.

People talk a lot about Beyonce but she sends flowers and writes letters to artists and she makes that public, it's a sort of respect. She did that for Jack White recently. I get that he may be an introvert and shy, but maybe his team at least should make him notice these things. It has always caught my attention since one of the things people say about him is that he's really chill and humble

My post was about his interaction with other musicians not fans, I get that he's not obliged to take photos or sign autographs with everyone.
