His friends set up a social media campaign to grab Eminem's attention, using the hashtag #GetGageGarmoToMeetEminem, and after the Detroit community, where both Eminem and Garmo are from and Michigan-based charity The Rainbow Connection got on board, their plan worked.
It's reported that Eminem visited his fan at his home on Sunday evening and spent two hours chatting to him about hip-hop and football.
