Fans of Eminem continue to look forward to the release of his new album. There has been talk that this new album should be out by this year, but so far, there are no official updates from Eminem or his camp.

Given that details of the album's release date remain elusive, rumors behind the delay continue to swirl. Some say that the 43-year-old rapper had other commitments with business projects which reportedly contributed to the delay. There was also a mention of him being so busy with his collaborative projects with other artists in the industry. However, there's no way of confirming if these reports are true and the rapper has been mum about any updates.

There are also rumors that Eminem may have met some bumps along the road when it comes to the album's development because of his reported bankruptcy. The rapper usually makes it to Forbes' top 100 celebrities, but for this year, he didn't make the cut. It should be noted that he bagged the 71^st spot in 2011 and the 85^th spot last year. Given that he dropped out from the list, it is speculated that he may be having financial troubles which might also have gotten in the way of his album release. But then again, these remain as speculations only and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Other artists may have dropped some hints for Eminem though, according to Australia News Network. For instance, Snoop Dogg, who has confirmed way back in 2012 that he'll be working with Cheryl Cole for her new album, also shared that the English singer might have been planning a collaboration with Eminem. However, this was a four-year-old report and Eminem didn't confirm this piece of information so it's still not official.

Meanwhile, fans who have been eager to know more details about Eminem's new album should just hang tight and wait for future updates.
