He was a guy named Marshall Mathers with a rap *alter ego.*

1. alternative personality: a second side to somebody's personality, different from the one that most people know


2. very close friend: a very close and trusted friend

Which meaning fits the most?

difficult because I'd say it depends on the context!
but I'd prefer the first possibiliy, it's a closer description of this Marshal guy and there's no other person mentioned so i think it's the alter ego of himself.
Confused agree with me?

Your alter ego is the other side of your personality from the one which people normally see.
