Eminem is all set to become a grandfather! The 51-year-old hip-hop veteran announced his daughter Hailie Jade is expecting her first child with husband Evan McClintock. The rapper shared the news through an emotional music video that is a tribute to the father-daughter duo's relationship.
How did Eminem announce his daughter Hailie Jade's pregnancy?
He shared home videos dating back to 1999, photos of the father-daughter duo, and videos from his daughter's May wedding. It was combined with the emotional song Temporary in the video released Thursday. In one clip of a recent home video, his daughter hands Eminem a jersey with the name “Grandpa” emblazoned on the back with the number 1. She also hands him ultrasound photos, and he looks shocked.
Soon after he dropped the video, his fans flooded the comment section, congratulating Eminem on being promoted to Grandfather. A fan wrote, "Imagine that child when he grows up saying to the world “My grandfather was Eminem” Another wrote, "Abys guna have the most iconic grandpa in the world". A Third user wrote, "The hardest rapper alive is crying, you crying and me crying."
Hailie Jade also confirmed the news of her pregnancy hours after the video release with an Instagram post. “Mom & Dad est. 2025,” she captioned the post. In the photo, the couple can be seen posing with the ultrasound photos.
What is a Temporary album all about?
Temporary, from Eminem's latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), is written as a comforting message to his daughter after he dies. “I’m watchin’ you right now, baby girl, I vow/I will protect you, your guardian angel,” he sings on the track, which was released in July.
The Lose Yourself artist has always had a soft spot for his daughter, frequently mentioning her in his songs and even writing full tributes to her like Hailie's Song and Mockingbird.
In Mockingbird, Eminem sings, “What Daddy always tell you? Straighten up, little soldier,” a lyric he calls back to in Temporary.
Jade is Eminem's biological daughter, whom he had with his ex-wife Kim Scott. He also adopted two of Scott's daughters from previous relationships.
