Is Eminem basically a cult leader?
Definition(s) of a cult:
-refers to a group whose beliefs or practices are considered abnormal or bizarre
-followers are put in physical or emotionally distressing situations;
-Their problems are reduced to one simple explanation, which is repeatedly emphasized;
-They receive unconditional love, acceptance, and attention from a charismatic leader or group;
-They get a new identity based on the group;
How does all of these characteristics not fit with Eminem? Should we call it The Cult of Eminem/Slim Shady?

Nope. Just an artist.
Your "definitions" could be used to describe any artist with a huge following or fan base. It doesn't make him a cult leader. I don't see swarms of people turning their beliefs over to Eminem. He seems to display many characters and personalities in his performances, and none that I see can be construed as seeking others to follow his path.
no people just seem to really like his music is all
