Detroit, MI –
Eminem‘s stalker, Matthew Hughes, has received a lengthy prison sentence after being convicted of breaking into the rapper’s home for a second time.
The 32-year-old Hughes has been sentenced to between 15 and 30 years in prison on charges of first-degree home invasion and three years to seven years and six months on aggravated stalking.
The sentences will run consecutive to each other.
Hughes is also banned from having any contact with Eminem and not allowed within 500 feet of his home or work.

Hughes was convicted last month after a brief jury trial that also included testimony from the rap legend.
It is not the first time Hughes has been convicted of breaking into Eminem’s home.
During the first incident in 2020, Em told police he woke up to find Hughes standing behind him. And when asked why he was there, Hughes said he was there to kill him.
He reached a plea deal in that case and was sentenced in September 2021 to five years of probation – but was then arrested that November for simple assault, which led to jail time for violating probation.

He was released on parole last May, and the second break-in happened just months later.
Hughes was also arrested in June 2019 after he was found sleeping in the guest house of a house previously owned by Slim Shady.
In separate news, it was recently revealed that Eminem originally wanted Mariah Carey to play the role of his mom in 8 Mile.
