In 2015, social media is more powerful than ever.

Via Twitter and Instagram, superstar rapper Eminem was able to grant one of his biggest fans' wishes.

Fan Gage Garmo, 17, was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called Osteoarcoma.

His dream was to meet Eminem. He put that dream out on social media, but he only had one week to live.

The Detroit superstar made his wish came true.

Eminem's friend and fellow rapper, Royce da 5'9 posted on Instagram:

Mission accomplished ☑️ God Bless this beautiful kid and thank you guys for all your hard work...

It's always great to see when superstars show a human side and realize their fans made them who they are.
