Hailie Jade, Eminem’s Daughter, Reveals Clever Pregnancy Secret
Debbie, born in 1955 at a military base in Kansas, is the mother of Eminem.
She tied the knot with the father of the artist, Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr., when she was just 15, as mentioned in her 2008 memoir My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. Soon after, she became pregnant with Eminem and moved to Michigan where her maternal grandmother resided.
Eminem has depicted his strained relationship with Debbie in his songs, notably in his 2002 hit “Cleanin’ Out My Closet.” He accused Debbie of abusing prescription pills during his childhood, a claim she denies in her autobiography.
In her words, “Who would want to be labeled as a pill-dependent alcoholic living on welfare? None of it was true, but the lies continued to grow, leading to a rift between Marshall and me.”
Eminem has since expressed remorse for bringing his family issues into the public eye. In his 2013 track “Headlights,” he rapped, “I delved in without thought, never considering the impact of my words / In what verse, my mom probably took the brunt of it.”
