A man who twice entered Eminem’s Michigan home has been found guilty of first-degree home invasion and aggravated stalking.
Jurors convicted Matthew David Hughes after a trial that followed his arrest in August 2024.
Authorities detained Hughes after he was seen at the rapper’s residence in Clinton Township, a suburb north‑east of Detroit.
He failed to meet bail conditions and has remained jailed since the arrest.
Marshall Mathers, known professionally as Eminem, testified at the hearing on Wednesday.
The jury found Hughes guilty of both charges. He is due to be sentenced on 17 June.
Hughes, 32, had previously been charged for a 2020 break-in at Eminem’s Clinton Township property.
Eminem said he woke to find Hughes standing behind him that time.
“was told by Mr Hughes that he was there to kill him”
A police officer relayed that account to investigators.
After a plea deal, Hughes avoided immediate prison, receiving five years’ probation in September 2021.
He then breached probation later that year with an unrelated assault and was sent to prison.
Hughes was released on parole in May 2024.
In 2019, he broke into one of Eminem’s former residences in Rochester Hills, part of the Detroit area.
He initially told the new homeowner he was “looking for his brother Marshall,” then later entered a guest house on the property.
After a breaking‑and‑entering conviction, he served a 90‑day jail term.

The case echoes the rapper’s song Stan, about an obsessive fan who sends increasingly disturbing messages.
It is also the second celebrity stalking case to reach court this week.
Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, faces charges including stalking, vandalism and threat of bodily harm.
Prosecutors say he crashed his car through actor Jennifer Aniston’s Los Angeles home gate on Monday.
Carwyle allegedly harassed Aniston for two years via voicemail, email and social media.
He appeared shirtless, wrapped in a blanket, at a court hearing on Thursday.
A lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Judge Keith L Schwartz ordered a mental health assessment to determine Carwyle’s fitness to face the charges.
The judge also banned any contact between Carwyle and Aniston.
Aniston and her legal team have not commented on the allegations.
