In some of the few letters, he even tools him about himself and his girlfriend.
The main motive of Eminem to release this song pieces was to make people understand that everything that he says through any medium is not to be followed or accepted as they are not always the best or the solutions. He says “everything I say is not to be followed”.

What is the story of the song “stan”?
The song “stan” is basically about the craziest fan as the name itself suggests. The name “stan” is a combination of two words “stocking” and “fan” which means a fan who is obsessed with the idol and stalks them.
- The very first paragraph of the song starts with a letter written by the fan to Eminem praising him and telling him that he is such a great fan of his that all his walls are filled with his posters. However, when he did not receive any reply from him and even his six-year-old brother felt disheartened because Eminem did not autograph his brother at a show, he became more obsessive and angrier after two verses.
- He was such an obsessed fan that after so many letters when he did not get a reply, he recorded a voice message of his own while driving a car. He seemed to have consumed a large number of drugs and alcohol. His voice seems to blabber. While driving rashly he killed himself and his pregnant girlfriend.
The last verse depicts Eminem writing back to stan and arguing that his words are not to be taken literally. He told him about a story of a man who was driving while drunk and killed himself and his girlfriend. He asks him to take help. Then after a short period, Eminem realizes that the man in the news was stan himself.
