Eminem's 16-year-old daughter, Hailie Scott Mathers, may not be as big of a boy band fan as everyone thinks!

Reports surfaced Wednesday claiming Mathers called Taylor Swift a "whore" on Twitter for dating One Direction's Harry Styles. But a rep for the rapper, 40, tells E! News the Twitter account in question (which has since been deleted) does not belong to his daughter.

The fake Mathers tweeted Wednesday (via New York Daily News), "If Taylor Swift is really dating the love of my life Harry Styles I will not be happy!" The account later wrote, "Dear Taylor Swift, please stop whoring around with every guy you see. We all know you're only doing it so you can make another album . . . I am never, ever, ever, listening to your music again Taylor Swift. Like ever."

According to The Huffington Post, the impostor behind the messages later apologized for the comments after receiving a lot of criticism, and then deactivated the account.

"Wow, I didn't mean for people to react to my tweet in the way that they have it was just a bit of fun! Sorry Taylor Swift for my immaturity," read the tweets.

Rumors that Swift, 22, and Styles, 18, were dating started after the two were seen flirting on the X Factor set in mid-November. The twosome were photographed holding hands in NYC on Tuesday, Dec. 4. Swift split from Conor Kennedy in October, and a source recently told Us Weekly, "She doesn't want to be single."
