Eminem has just announced that he will be dropping his new album, “The Death Of Slim Shady: Coup De Grâce” this summer. Well, Rap Devotees already has you covered with a solid theory of what to expect.

I believe Eminem just secretly revealed he’s shooting a music video for the movie Joker 2 Folie à Duex. Here’s my evidence:

First of all, look at the title of Eminem’s new album title in comparison to the new Joker movie. “The Death Of Slim Shady: Coup De Grâce” and  “Joker 2: Folie à Duex.” Both titles are written half in English and half in French.

Next, let’s go back to 2013, the last time Eminem had beef with Slim. On the song “Evil Twin” he referenced his potential suicide note being signed by the Joker.  Perhaps 10 years later, when Slim Shady dies, we’ll find a forged suicide note attached to his body, signed by The Joker. I admit this one is a bit of a stretch, but maybe this is Eminem’s subconscious spilling the beans.

“My suicide note’s barely legible; read the
Bottom, it’s signed by the Joker”
– Eminem (“Evil Twin”)

We also know that Joker 2 is a musical film with a 200 million dollar budget. They are spending a lot of money, and maybe they’re using it to afford musical talent. We know Eminem loves appearing on soundtracks. Just to name a few, he’s been on Southpaw, Venom and most recently, Elvis. A horror-esque movie musical has Eminem’s name written all over it.

Thanks to a famous clown dancing scene in the first Joker movie, these stairs have become very iconic. Set photos have shown that they’re going to appear in the sequel as well. Maybe they’re even going to appear in Eminem’s next music video. Slim Shady seemed to have picked a very interesting spot to die on. I think this staircase is a fairly obvious nod to the famous stairs seen in the movies.

Even if I’m wrong about all of this, I have one final clue that I think will convince any reader. When Eminem dropped the trailer for the new album yesterday, I assumed it was mostly old footage being used until I noticed one detail. If you pause and zoom in, you’ll notice what appears to be a Joker scar cut into the corner of Eminem’s mouth. It’s blink and you’ll miss it but it’s there. This also means that Eminem shaved his beard for something. That’s the first time before Revival as far as we know.
