Aftermath producer, Fredwreck, who has previously worked with Eminem, posted a story of Eminem’s house on his Instagram, sparking MMLP3 rumors. Later, he posted picture of buildings of Detroit. Above one of the building, there is “1001” written. It’s a mailing address of that building but fans think its a date 10/01 = October 1. If they wanted to hint something, what the best way to hint 1001 other than that building?!
