Eminem has officially entered his ‘grandpa’ era!
The hip-hop veteran's daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, is set to welcome her first baby with her husband, Evan McClintock. The 51-year-old rapper shared the news in an emotional music video for his song ‘Temporary,’ released on October 3.
The latest music video highlights the strong bond between Eminem and his daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers. Featuring Skylar Grey, ‘Temporary’ is a heartfelt tribute to the 28-year-old host of the ‘Just a Little Shady’ podcast. This 5-minute video is a compilation of touching moments between the father-daughter duo, showcasing Hailie’s journey from daddy’s little girl to a married woman.
At the end of the video, Hailie shares her pregnancy news by gifting her famous dad a Detroit Lions jersey that says ‘grandpa’ on the back. When Eminem sees the sonogram image, he becomes visibly emotional as Grey sings, ‘The bad days will start to get better / Then we'll be laughin' together / And tonight when I cry / The tears are temporary.’
This exciting news follows Hailie's recent marriage to her longtime partner, whom she met in 2016. Shortly after the video’s release, fans took to social media to congratulate Eminem and his daughter on their wonderful news.
One YouTube user commented, ‘Eminem is a real one. Father goals. Congrats on being a grandfather!’
‘Eminem being a grandad is the most beautiful news I’ve ever heard today. He just had to make me cry,’ wrote another.
One more fan remarked, ‘Damn, he made the classic 'When I'm Gone', nearly passed away, but he made it her wedding nearly 20 years later. The GOAT didn't just win in Rap, he won in life.’
Yet another user said, ‘This little girl was the reason many rap careers were ruined for decades. Em loves that little girl.’
‘Temporary,’ featuring Skylar Grey, is one of two tracks on ‘The Death of Slim Shady’ dedicated to Eminem’s children. The other song, ‘Somebody Save Me,’ featuring Jelly Roll, serves as an apology to his kids for his shortcomings as a father.
Eminem's 12th album was released in July and included singles like ‘Houdini’ and ‘Tobey,’ featuring Big Sean and Babytron. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and recently made a resurgence into the top 10 with the release of its ‘Expanded Mourner’s Edition.’
