Eminem killed his alter ego Slim Shady with his latest album, but maybe he can use a new nickname: Grandpa.
The rapper announced that his daughter Hailie Jade is pregnant through a touching music video which is a tribute to their relationship. The video for the emotional “Temporary” released Thursday includes home videos dating back to 1999 and photos of the father-daughter duo, as well as footage from Hailie Jade’s wedding in May.
In a recent home video clip, his daughter gives Eminem a t-shirt that says “Grandpa” on the back and has the number 1 on it. She also gives him ultrasound photos and he seems excited.
The striker confirmed the news of her pregnancy moment after posting the video on Thursday, with an Instagram post saying “dad from 2025.”
Representatives for Eminem, 51, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“Temporary,” from Eminem’s latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” is written as a comforting message to his daughter after imagining her death. “I’m watching you right now, girl, I promise / I’ll protect you, your guardian angel,” he sings on the track released alongside the album in July.
The “Lose Yourself” singer has always had a soft spot for his daughter, often mentioning him in his songs and even writing full-length tributes to her such as “Hailie’s Song” and “Mockingbird.”
Hailie Jade is the only biological daughter of Eminem, who he had with his ex-wife Kim Scott. Eminem adopted Scott’s two daughters from a previous relationship.
