Eminem may be hyper-aggressive on record, but when it comes to his fans, his inner-kindness comes shining through. Gage Garmo, a huge Eminem fan caught the rapper's attention when his friends got the hashtag, #GetGageGarmoToMeetEminem trending.

The 17-year-old Garmo had been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that gave him only a week to live. His last wish was apparently to meet his hero, Em, who upon hearing the story, agreed to come to the teen's house just outside of Detroit.

Em made sure not to keep the meeting private, doing his best to avoid media attention, and dropping by Garmos' place on Sunday. The two apparently kicked it for about an hour, which Garmo was reportedly pretty happy about.

Check out an Instagram post from Royce Da 5'9", thanking friends of Garmo for making his wish come true, below.
