Rumors that Eminem, 52, and Selena Gomez, 32, revealed plans for a 2025 mini tour with a “huge guest list” have sparked excitement, but no credible evidence supports these claims. Eminem, fresh off his 2024 album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), performed at events like the Formula 1 US Grand Prix in October 2024, with speculation about 2025 Glastonbury and London shows but no confirmed tour. Gomez, preparing for her collaborative album I Said I Love You First with Benny Blanco, set for March 21, 2025, has a confirmed North America and Europe tour starting at Coachella in April, but no joint project with Eminem exists. The “guest list” claim is fictional, likely misinterpreting Eminem’s past collaborators or Gomez’s festival plans. This article debunks the rumor, details their separate 2025 plans, and addresses the lack of a shared tour, linking to prior queries about Kendrick Lamar and Ransom Canyon.
No Joint Mini Tour or Guest List
No reputable sources, including Billboard, Rolling Stone, or the artists’ official channels, report Eminem and Gomez planning a 2025 mini tour. Eminem’s 2024 Middle East tour, including Bahrain and Riyadh’s Soundstorm Festival, wrapped in December, with no 2025 tour confirmed despite fan speculation about Glastonbury (June 25–29, 2025) and a London show in October (simplebeen.com). Gomez’s 2025 tour, tied to her album with Blanco, kicks off at Coachella (April 13), with no mention of Eminem (GRAMMY.com). Their genres—Eminem’s hardcore hip-hop and Gomez’s pop—have no prior crossover, unlike Eminem’s collaborations with Rihanna or Gomez’s with Rema on “Calm Down” (2022).
The “huge guest list” is unsupported, possibly conflating Eminem’s past tour guests like Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, or Skylar Grey, who joined him in Austin 2024 (recreationrush.com), or Gomez’s Coachella peers like Yeji or Red Velvet’s Seulgi (GRAMMY.com). X posts speculating “Eminem x Selena tour with big names!” lack evidence, reflecting 2025’s viral misinformation trend, similar to the debunked Lamar-Eminem nephew rumor.
Eminem’s 2025 Plans: Speculation, No Confirmation
Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady, released July 12, 2024, fueled tour rumors, but no 2025 world tour is confirmed. His 2024 performances, including a 90-minute Austin set with “Lucifer” and “Godzilla” debuts, were electrifying, joined by Skylar Grey (recreationrush.com). Middle East shows in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, and Riyadh (December 7–14) sold out, despite his mother’s passing from lung cancer days before (eminem.com). Rumors suggest Glastonbury 2025 headlining, driven by its pre-fallow year buzz, and a London show October 17–18, hinted by VIP packages (royaltyexchange.com). Gang Flow falsely claimed a 2025 tour with stops in Los Angeles (March 15) and New York (March 22), citing a fictional Relapse Reloaded album, debunked as no such album exists.
Eminem’s history includes the 2019 Rapture Tour with surprise guests like Dre and 50 Cent (recreationrush.com). If a 2025 tour materializes, expect similar collaborators, not Gomez, whose pop style doesn’t align. His setlists typically feature “Stan,” “Lose Yourself,” and “Rap God” (vividseats.com), with no indication of pop crossovers.
Selena Gomez’s 2025 Plans: Confirmed Tour
Gomez’s I Said I Love You First, a collaborative album with fiancé Benny Blanco, drops March 21, 2025, with singles “Scared of Loving You” and “Call Me When You Break Up” featuring Gracie Abrams (GRAMMY.com). Described as “pop, powerful, and vulnerable” by Gomez, it celebrates their relationship (Capital). Her tour, starting at Coachella (April 13), will cover North America and Europe, with no specific dates beyond the festival (GRAMMY.com). Past tours, like 2016’s Revival Tour, featured guests like DNCE and Charlie Puth (Wikipedia), suggesting similar acts for 2025, not hip-hop artists like Eminem.
Gomez’s last major tour was interrupted by lupus-related health issues in 2016 (Wikipedia). Her 2025 return promises “stunning visuals” and “special guest appearances,” per tour2026.com, but no Eminem connection exists. Her Coachella set may include Rema, given their “Calm Down” remix success (GRAMMY.com), but Eminem’s absence from festival lineups makes a crossover unlikely.
Why the Rumor Persists
The rumor may stem from misreadings of Eminem’s and Gomez’s 2025 buzz. Eminem’s Glastonbury speculation and Gomez’s Coachella announcement, both high-profile, could spark fan fiction on X, where users post “imagine Eminem and Selena touring!” The “guest list” idea might draw from Eminem’s Austin show with Sting or Gomez’s past tour guests (simplebeen.com). The user’s prior Lamar-Eminem prompt, falsely claiming a nephew visit, suggests a pattern of sensationalized queries, with this rumor similarly lacking grounding. Dre’s mentorship of Eminem, noted in the Lamar query, doesn’t extend to Gomez, ruling out a shared collaborator link (HipHopHero).
Public Reaction and Clarification
X posts show separate fan excitement: “Eminem at Glastonbury 2025? Take my money!” and “Selena’s Coachella set will slay!” No credible posts link them, and sites like Ticketmaster list no joint events (ticketmaster.com). Recent coverage, like Eminem’s Riyadh photos (eminem.com) and Gomez’s album tease (Capital), confirms their distinct paths. The “mini tour” is fiction, mirroring the debunked Ransom Canyon pregnancy rumor’s hype.
Looking Ahead
Eminem may headline Glastonbury or perform in London in 2025, but no tour is confirmed, and Gomez’s Coachella-led tour focuses on her pop album, with no Eminem tie. Their legacies—Eminem’s lyrical genius and Gomez’s emotional pop—thrive separately, with no shared stage planned. Fans can stream The Death of Slim Shady or await I Said I Love You First, but a joint tour or guest list is pure speculation. Check eminem.com or selenagomeztour.com for real updates, not rumors.
