Eminema's daughter: Hayley Jade Scott. The real reason you've never heard of Eminem's other two daughters Eminem and his daughter

Childhood

The birth was difficult and long - they lasted 73 hours and almost ended in the death of the mother. Six months after that, Marshall's parents separated, his father moved to California, got a new family with two children - Michael and Sarah - and completely forgot about his eldest son. Later, as a teenager, Marshall tried to contact his father and wrote him several letters, but he did not even open them and sent them back.

Trying to arrange her personal life, the mother, following her father, left her son when he was not even a year old, and from 1973 to 1977 the boy was raised by great-aunt Edna. Then Deborah returned, but during her wanderings she managed to become addicted to alcohol, and later brought home new stepfathers several times, none of whom lingered for a long time.

Marshall and Deborah moved constantly from place to place, mostly living with relatives, and rarely stayed in the same house for more than a year. A few years later, the mother gave birth to another son, Nathan. Finally, when Marshall was 12, the family settled in the suburbs of Detroit. Eminem was remembered by acquaintances of the time as "generally a happy kid, but withdrawn."

Life in a new place was complicated by the fact that the teenager was not accepted by local guys, mostly black children from working families. The boy was constantly teased, he was attacked and beaten almost every day. Subsequently, these sad moments were reflected in the texts of Eminem, in particular, in the song "Brain Damage": "I was harassed daily by the fat De Angelo Bailey - he was an eighth grader and acted impudently because his dad was a boxer."

In 1983, it was this teenager who once hit Marshall so hard on the head that he lay in a coma for 10 days, and the doctors almost did not hope for his recovery. "Glorified" in the song, Bailey later admitted in an interview, "We had a whole gang and we took him in... You know, bullied and all that. Once we hit him right on the head, on the back of the head. When we saw that he was not moving, we fled. And then they lied and said that he slipped on the ice.

First creativity

Ronnie recorded several of his cassettes for his nephew. “And I thought: hell, this is what I can do!” The artist recalled. In addition to rap, the boy liked to write stories and draw homemade comics.

The teenager created the first rap duet at the age of 14 with his friend Mike Ruby, and at the same time he came up with the pseudonym "M&M" (according to the first letters of his first and last name), which later transformed into "Eminem".

Youth

In 1991, Ronnie's uncle shot himself because of unhappy love, and for Eminem it was such a shock that he was speechless for several days.

The young man's mother, Deborah, constantly clashed with him. Marshall with early age she had to earn extra money to help support her family, and yet she very often kicked him out of the house. She had a difficult character, which is one of social workers described as "increased suspicion, close to paranoia." However, in 1987, she sheltered her son's girlfriend Kimberly Scott, who later became Eminem's wife, who had run away from home.

Later, the singer released information that Deborah, plus everything, suffered from Munchausen's syndrome - mental disorder, in which a person invents or deliberately causes a serious illness in someone close to him in order to himself enjoy the increased attention, sympathy and help of others. For this reason, his perfectly healthy 9-year-old brother Nathan spent a year in the hospital. In the end, in order to stop this bullying and provide qualified assistance to his mother, Marshall was forced to testify against her in court, and then he began to raise his brother on his own. A difficult childhood and the trials of youth gave a strong impetus to Eminem's work.

Musical career

However, he was more interested in an individual career, and already in 1996 he recorded his first solo album "Infinite". This disc did not arouse much interest in the listeners, because Detroit at that time was already oversaturated with hip-hop.

Eminem was very upset by the failure of his debut album, but later he himself admitted that his own style had not yet developed by that time, and that record was only a test of the pen. In addition, the main lyrical theme of this work was the singer’s worries about how to raise a newborn daughter with very little money - to which he received a response: “Maybe you should go to rock and roll?” And Eminem realized that the lyrics of his compositions should become sharper, more caustic and with a touch of anger.

The new mood of the singer led to the creation of a new stage image, a kind of alter ego under the pseudonym Slim Shady (Slim Shady). Slim sang of violence, drugs, and even murder with literally sadistic pleasure, but under this outer shell, he touched on deeper topics of social injustice, poverty, love and family problems.

This mood was his new album "Slim Shady EP", recorded in the spring of 1997. The disc was ready, but lay without promotion, and Eminem went to the Rap Olympics, an annual national competition in the rap battle format, which was held in Los Angeles. In this largest battle, the artist took second place, and the organizers drew attention to a talented young man.

Eminem

One of them, Jimmy Iovine, listened to the Slim Shady EP and gave it to famed rapper and rap producer Andre Romell Young, better known as Dr. Dre. He immediately took Eminem "under his wing", and in 1999 the album "The Slim Shady LP" was successfully re-released and became a bestseller: it managed to become triple platinum before the end of the year and brought the artist his first Grammy award.

Dr. Dre later recalled: “In all my time in the music industry, I never came across anything worthwhile on demos or CDs. But when Jimmy put it on, I immediately said: Find him, now. Colleagues tried to reason with the producer and warn him against working with a white-skinned, that is, “fake” rapper, to which he replied: “Yes, I don’t care if he’s even purple. If he's good at rapping, I'll be with him."

At the end of 1999, Interscope Records provided the artist with his own record label, under which he subsequently released works not only by himself, but also by friendly artists such as Obi Trice, 50 Cent, Stat Quo, Cashis, Bobby Creekwater, Yelawolf, bands D12 and "Slaughterhouse", etc.

The next album, The Marshall Mathers LP, was released in 2000 and sold 1,760,000 copies in its first week. The disc went on to become the fastest-selling hip-hop album, breaking previous records for Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" and Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time".

The texts of some of the singles from this disc have caused serious criticism for homophobic coloring, as well as for insulting famous artists: in particular, the composition "The Real Slim Shady" contains controversial information about Christina Aguilera's sex life, and the composition and especially the video released soon " My Name Is ”Eminem harshly parodied rock singer Marilyn Manson, with whom he, however, is on good terms.

Eminem

Most controversial was the video for the song "Stan" - Marshall played on the theme of his sudden popularity, depicting a crazy fan who killed his pregnant girlfriend and committed suicide. This composition received the title of "third best rap song" according to the magazine "Q", and in the rating of "500 greatest songs of all time" magazine "Rolling Stone" she took 296th position. As a result, at the 43rd Grammy ceremony, Eminem and "Stan" won three nominations at once.

In 2001, the artist took part in the large-scale Up in Smoke Tour along with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, rappers Xzibit and Ice Cube. Following this, he focused on the release of the next album "The Eminem Show", which was released in May 2002 and again soared to the first line of the charts. And although this disc also received criticism for its "angry mood", for insulting women and for an abundance of dirty language, it has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, and it became the best-selling album of 2002.

After that, Eminem released the disc "D12 World" with the rap group "D12", and the next solo disc "Encore" was released in November 2004. By all accounts, this work was less successful than the previous one: first week sales were only about a third of those of previous albums. One of the reasons for the lukewarm reception was, perhaps, the more comical tone of the album and softer, not at all "evil" lyrics without the usual cruelty.

Eminem's intention to get rid of his evil alter ego Slim Shady is also emphasized by the design of the disc cover, which depicts his farewell bow. True, it still could not do without ridicule of the stars: the video for the song “Just Lose It” shines with a satire on Michael Jackson.

Eminem

While working on the Encore album, Marshall often used drugs, and then became somewhat confused in his creative plans. After recording this work, he decided to take a creative break. The lull was broken only by the re-release of past compositions in the Curtain Call: The Hits disc and the release of the Eminem Presents: The Re-Up compilation, in which the artist introduced new musicians Boby Creekwater and Cashis to the public.

In 2007, Eminem recorded the song "Peep Show" for the new album "Curtis" by the famous rapper 50 Cent, and then again disappeared from the musical life for a whole year and a half.

The silence was broken in February 2009 with the release of "Crack a Bottle" featuring 50 Cent and Dr. Dre; after that, several more singles were released, and already in May, Eminem's new full-length album "Relapse" was finally released. The key theme of this disc and its advertising campaign was the deliverance of Marshall from drug addiction. The artist himself described this work as a return to the "good old days."

Dre and I closed ourselves back in the studio like we used to. In the end, Dre will produce most of the tracks with Relapse. We're having fun again... So be it.

However, there were no less positive reviews, and the album brought the artist another Grammy Award. At the end of the year, the second part was released - "Relapse: Refill", which included both already known compositions and completely new ones, including the track "Forever", performed together with rappers Drake, Kanye West and Lil Wayne.

In June 2010, another "sequel" was released - the "Recovery" disc. It turned out to be noticeably more successful than the previous one, and critics finally recognized the return of the "old" Eminem with his "dark, dramatic beat", "acrobatic rhymes of branded chasing" and "increasing quality of anger".

After that, the artist recorded the album “Hell: The Sequel” together with his youth friend rapper Royce da 5 "9", teaming up with him in the duet "Bad Meets Evil" - with this line-up they had already worked together once in 1997, but then their joint work was not widely known. The new album instantly took off in the charts and elevated both performers to new round glory.

The next album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" was released in August 2013 and became one of the most anticipated discs in several years. It is called the most "atmospheric" of Eminem's albums - it is permeated with the spirit of nostalgia for youth. Many famous artists were invited to record it, not only rappers, but also singers of other genres, including r'n'b singer Rihanna. The disc turned out to be successful again, and even the most demanding critics did not find any flaws in it.

In 2014, Shady Records, a record label founded by the artist, released the double compilation Shady XV. The first disc contains fresh tracks by Eminem himself, as well as bands with his participation and his friends: "Slaughterhouse", "Yelawolf", "D12", "Bad Meets Evil" and others. The second disc has collected all the best hits over the 15-year history Label: Artists such as Obie Trice, 50 Cent, Bobby Creekwater, Ca$his and Stat Quo are featured here. In 2015 - 2017, Eminem released several hits: "Campaign Speech", "Kill For You", etc.

In 2017, Eminem was working on a new album, Revival, his first solo album since The Marshall Mathers LP 2, released in 2013. Earlier in 2017, he released a video of him rapping heavily against U.S. President Donald Trump.

Eminem launches his own line fashion clothes, which can be purchased through its official website. One of his latest collections "Camp Shady" also contains equipment for hiking and sports tourism.

Film career and other work

His most significant film work was the lead role in Curtis Henson's drama 8 Mile (2002) starring Kim Basinger and Brittany Murphy. This picture is about a young Detroit rapper nicknamed Rabbit, and for Eminem it is largely autobiographical.

Eminem - Lose Yourself (cut from 8 Mile)

The film was liked by the audience, and the artist’s game was especially praised: “The genius of the image of the Rabbit is that he recognizes his own weaknesses,” and Eminem’s work is “pure magic.” Eminem also wrote and performed 5 songs for the film, including the title track "Lose Yourself" for which he was awarded an Oscar. In addition, he received two MTV Movie Awards for his work on the film - in the categories "Male Breakthrough of the Year" and "Best Actor".

Eminem's personal life Haley Jade Scott was born in 1995

The couple officially married in 1999, but divorced in 2001. In one of the interviews of that time, Eminem swore: “Yes, I would rather give birth to a child myself through the penis than agree to marry again.”

However, in January 2006, she and Kim re-married, but in April of the same year they broke up again and finally divorced in December. The former spouses agreed to jointly raise their common daughter, Hayley, and in addition, Marshall took under the sole custody of two other children whom he adopted: Alaina Scott (Kim's niece, her sister's daughter) and Whitney Scott (Kim's daughter from another man).

After breaking up with Kim, the rapper does not get along well with girls

After the final divorce, he repeatedly stated that he no longer wanted to enter into a love relationship with anyone, because he could not fully trust anyone. Marshall fears that women may have some ulterior motives for relationships, they will not be completely honest with him and will not be able to remain faithful. In 2008, he briefly dated Tracy McNew, an employee of Shady Records, nothing is known about his subsequent relationship.

Eminem's half-brother Nathan Kane, over whom he had custody, followed in his footsteps and also became a famous rapper. With his mother, the artist is still complicated relationship: she repeatedly sued him, and then published a book about him, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem, in which, in particular, she said that he had been suffering all his life bipolar disorder psyche.

Eminem now

In parallel with the work on his material, he helped the singer Nicki Minaj with the recording of her album "Queen". Around the same time, Eminem broke his record for the fastest recitation by reciting 123 syllables in 12 seconds. On Nicky's "Majesty" he rapped faster than on his own track "Rap God".

Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on October 17, 1972. He went from an unknown rapper from the crime streets of Detroit, Michigan to the best selling artist in the US in the 2000s. Eminem's success cannot be underestimated. He has sold over 172 million albums worldwide, making him one of the elite artists to do so. Eminem is a dynamic rapper and an even better songwriter.

Eminem's career took off after the release of his debut album Infinite in 1996. Then came "The Slim Shady LP" in 1999, which was met with a bang by fans, and the rest is history. Now Eminem is playing stadium shows around the world that sell out in seconds. He also collaborated with many other artists, including Dr. Dre (Dr. Dre), 50 Cent (50 Cent), Kid Rock (Kid Rock), Drake (Drake) and other popular and talented rappers and singers. In addition to his talent as a rapper/songwriter, Eminem is also involved in recording music. The talented performer opened the record company Shady Records with his manager Paul Rosenberg.

Despite his talents, Eminem has recently caused a lot of controversy. He even caught the attention of the US government in 2008 with his song We As Americans. Words: "To hell with money! I don't rap for dead presidents, I'd rather see a dead president. This has never been said, but I'm setting precedents", made the security service worried. Inexplicably. Whether you love him or hate him, Eminem is a very talented and interesting person and a powerful force in the entertainment industry. Below we will tell you about some little known facts about him.

10 Discovery - Evan "Kidd" Bogart

Many people know that Dr. Dre discovered Eminem and helped launch his career. While this is true and Dre did wonders for Eminem by taking the young rapper under his wing, it was actually an obscure white rapper who discovered him. Evan "Kidd" Bogart, who at the time was an intern at Interscope, was the first to discover Eminem. Bogart (son of legendary music producer Neil Bogart) was in a rap competition that featured Eminem. He went back to Interscope and brought with him an Eminem tape, which eventually ended up in the hands of Dr. Dre. As soon as Dre heard the tape, he asked to find Eminem immediately, and the rest is history.

9. Childhood - Coma


Eminem grew up in a very disadvantaged area. He was a "kid from the streets" who lived in a predominantly black neighborhood. He was constantly beaten up for being one of the few single white kids who lived there. When he was 9 years old, one of the bullies was so hard on Eminem at school that he ended up in a coma for a week. The stay in the hospital proved to be a very frightening experience for the poor white child and would not be the last as he was constantly finding adventure.

8. Childhood idols - Comics


When Eminem was a child, his attention was not occupied by music and rap. As a child, he had completely different hobbies. He cherished the dream of drawing comics. Due to the fact that he was constantly surrounded by problems and troubles, Eminem dreamed of living in other worlds. His fascination with comics helped him in part to develop his alter ego, Slim Shady, as well as the characters that Eminem comically portrayed in music videos.

7. Opposite sex - marital problems


Eminem is not the only person in a world that had marital problems. Most of them were well covered in the lyrics of his songs. Eminem constantly raps about the hardships of his life and his two marriages to the same woman, Kimberly Anne Scott. He mentions Kim in his songs along with his daughter, Hailie. However, the greatest number of marriages was his grandmother Betty, who went down the aisle 5 times. Eminem, who has only been married twice, must marry more than once to keep up with his granny.

6. Oscar Winner - "8 Mile" (8 Mile)


Few expected Eminem to star in a feature film. Yet less people thought he would do well. The film "8 Mile" is based on the childhood of Eminem. The film was a resounding success due to great game great actors, including Eminem himself. Eminem was just amazingly good in the film, which earned him a lot of positive reviews. In addition, the film was very successful financially. In addition, his hit "Lose Myself" was used in the film and nominated for an Oscar. Despite Eminem not attending the ceremony (not his style), the world was shocked and delighted when he was awarded the Oscar. He got it, starring in just one film, to the envy of Leonardo DiCaprio (Leonardo DiCaprio), Glenn Close (Glenn Close) and Robert Downey Jr.

5. What is "Daddy Warbucks"?


Many people have heard about Eminem's difficult and troubled childhood. But did you know that Eminem's mother, Debbie Nelson (Debbie Nelson) and father Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. (Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr.) musical group called "Daddy Warbucks"? The music-loving family nearly fell apart when Bruce's father moved to California, leaving Eminem and Debbie behind. Debbie was an avid music fan and took Eminem to gigs with bands such as Talking Heads and Stevie Nicks. However, it was Eminem's uncle, named Ronnie, who instilled in the future star a love for hip-hop. Ronnie played Ice T's "Reckless" to then 12-year-old Eminem in 1984, which started it all, and the rest is history.

4. Shady Records - Would you like to record here? Fight the owner


Eminem opened his record company Shady Records in 1999 with his manager Paul Rosenberg. The company signed a contract with 10 performers, and on this moment there are five groups. Eminem began his career on the streets of Detroit, fighting in "Rap Battles" with other rappers. In order for you to have a chance to sign with Shady Records, you will have to fight the master himself. Newcomers to the music world have to participate in rap battles against Eminem during the signing process. I would like to hear such battles!

3. Charity work - Generous Eminem


Many people who see and hear Eminem for the first time immediately think that he is evil and self-centered. However, despite the fact that Eminem is constantly busy resolving personal problems, he found time to set up foundations and support some charitable organizations. Eight Mile Boulevard Association, Marshall Mathers Foundation, ninemillion.org and Small Steps Project are just a few long list charities supported by Eminem. The Marshall Mathers Foundation is especially dear to his heart, as it focuses on working with underprivileged teenagers in Michigan.

2. Courts - Your mother

Eminem often uses aggressive and offensive language in his lyrics. Some people like it, while others hate it. Some of his lyrics go too far and can be vulgar and offensive. Eminem's unapologetic style has offended some people close to him, including his mother. A woman who almost died giving birth to Eminem for 70 hours is suing her son over the words of his songs, which she felt portrayed her in a negative light. In 2001, she received $1,600 in damages in a legal battle. Debbie Nelson wrote the biography because of the public's somewhat negative attitude towards her. In her biography, she tried to describe her side and role in Eminem's childhood. Recently, Eminem apologized to his mother through music, so apparently they decided to bury the hatchet.

1. Drugs - The Dark Side


Eminem is a fantastic performer who travels and works tirelessly. Because of this, he is subjected to a very large mental and emotional stress, which can devastate a person. He suffered from prescription addiction

Even if you don't like Eminem's music, there's a good chance you know a lot about the man behind Marshall Mathers' music. After all, he is one of the biggest names in rap and one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world. Eminem has been telling the world his story for decades, and people have listened. Over the years, fans have even come to know about Eminem's family through his music. We heard about his volatile relationship with his ex-wife, Kim Scott/Mathers. We also learned about his biological daughter, Hayley Scott Mathers.

If you first heard of her in “Just The Two of Us” on the 1997 Slim Shady EP, in the eponymous track “97 Bonnie & Clyde” on the 1999 Slim Shady LP, or in one of the many subsequent songs in which Eminem rapped about his daughters, do you have an idea who Hailey is. While a lot is known about Hailey, little is known about Eminem's two daughters, Whitney and Alain. You may have just now learned that Eminem had two more daughters.

Well, it really is. There are only three of them. While Alena Marie Mathers, 25, and Whitney Scott Mathers, 16, don't get as much attention as Hailey in Eminem's music, they aren't completely absent either. However, the details of their lives are not always available, and there is a good reason for this. In fact, there are several good reasons why we don't hear about them.

It's a long story

While even casual fans know Hailey through Eminem's music, Alena and Whitney are only known to a more exclusive group. One of possible causes This is because their stories are more complex. Alaina (born Amanda) is the daughter of Kim's twin sister, Dawn Scott. Due to Dawn's struggle with drugs, Eminem and Kim took on Alaina. “My niece has been a part of my life since she was born,” the rapper told Rolling Stone in 2004. “Me and Kim pretty much had her, she lived with us wherever we were.”

After adopting Alena in 2002, Eminem introduced her to fans in the 2004 song "Mockingbird", writing, "Lainey Uncle is crazy, isn't he? Yes, but he loves you girl, and you better know that.” Later in the song, Eminem would refer to her as his daughter, stating, “You're almost like sisters now. Wow, looks like you're almost here and dad is still here. Lainey, I'm talking to you too. Daddy is still here.”

Fans might not have known it back then, but Eminem also took care of another little girl during those years. Whitney Scott was born to Kim in 2002 while she was with Eric Hartter. With Hartter and Kim out of jail, Eminem also raised Whitney. Through his music, Eminem introduced the youngest of the Mathers family as “ younger sister” Hailey in 2005, “When I'm Gone” and named for the first time in 2009 in “Déjà vu.”

Hailey is his muse

While Eminem certainly loves and adores all three of his girls equally, we can't expect him to talk about Whitney or Alaina as much as he does about Hailey. After all, Eminem started using Hailey in his lyrics very early, before he adopted Alena and before Whitney was born. But Hailey's connection to Eminem's music goes much deeper. After Eminem's first album, Infinite, flopped and he was fired from his culinary job, his fear of Haley's failure propelled him to new heights. “She was my main source of drive and motivation,” he said in a 2002 interview (via MTV). “I talk about her a lot… the truth is, she is all I have in this world. If it all ends tomorrow, she is all I have.”

From the very beginning, among the rapper's venomous, sadistic and often hated personas, there has always been loving father. This caring side of Eminem showed up in his music and kept him from going too far on dark side. In many ways, Haley became a useful musical device - the light and love of his life. For his devoted fans, Eminem could evoke very specific images and emotions through no more than Hailey's name. Years later, he simply stuck Alaina and Whitney to Hayley's functions in his songs, merging them all into a three-headed metaphor.

Eminem learned from his mistakes

In another 2017 song, “In Your Head,” he claims he didn’t want to do Hailey “80 percent of what he rapped about.” Although it was too late in his career for Hailey at this point, these feelings and regrets give us a glimpse of why Eminem might not include his other daughters. The rapper is so pushy that he keeps his superstardom at bay in his kids' lives that when Hailey was named homecoming queen in 2013, he calmly watched from another room "because he didn't want to cause a scene," according to another parent .

Other rappers have sent Haley off

While it may seem like a stretch to suggest that Ja Rule was an influence on how Eminem goes about his work, it's likely that the 2002 diss track "Loose Change" helped shape how much Eminem would involve Whitney and Alaina in his music moving forward. . After all, it was the same year that Eminem adopted Alayne, and hearing Ja Rule publicly insult his daughter, Hailey, is not light. In addition to several other offending tracks he made in response, Eminem addressed Hailey's animosity and insult in the "Like Toy Soldiers" rap, "I heard him say Hailey's name in a song and I just lost him."

Unfortunately, Ja Rule isn't the only rapper to insult Hailey in a song. In 2013, rap trio Hotstylz rapped about Hailey on their track "Rap Fraud", stating, "I see Hailey with knee pads - is that C**ch clean?" And she's the prom queen. The king was fat, so congratulations. I think your daughter just became a rat.” When asked about their decision to abuse a young girl, Hotstylz told Rolling Stone that they “don’t think it’s below the belt because we basically imitated him and that’s what he is will do it himself.” It's true. Indirectly, Eminem put his Hailey in the line of fire by incorporating her into his music. He may have shrugged it all off, but it's possible that Eminem decided to keep Whitney or Alaina away from any such cheap shots.

Eminem the Recluse

Despite the fact that Eminem is one of the most famous rappers and recognizable stars on the planet, he is a very private person. He is considered a recluse, and people close to him express concern about how he is forced to live his life. Friend and collaborator Skylar Gray said: “I feel sorry for them. It is sad. I see a lot of isolation.” She added, “I think he's afraid to go out the front door because someone is always waiting for him. Everyone wants something from him… seeing him so isolated behind so many protectors, I feel sorry for him.”

However, Eminem is very secretive when it comes to his children. In 2011, when Eminem sat down with Rolling Stone to discuss his return to superstardom after the release of Recovery, he stated that while he no longer lives on the downsides of fame, there are negatives. For example, he cannot “take [his] children to a haunted house.” But Eminem doesn't even like to talk about his kids in interviews. In this part of Rolling Stone, Eminem made it clear that he “prefers not to discuss his family.” Describing his overdose in 2007, he said that there are some details I should leave out because they involve my children.” No wonder we we know so little about children.

A life of glory has consequences

Perhaps no one knows better than Eminem what the consequences could be. loud life for a person. He was sued by several people he rapped about, including his mother. His ex-wife tried to commit suicide after he sang a song about abuse with her and him best friend Deshawn Dupree Holton was shot, killed and allegedly robbed in 2006. Eminem's fame rippled through almost everyone in his life.

In addition to attempting suicide, Eminem's ex-wife and occasional target in his music, Kim, has experienced the challenges of living in the public eye. “[People think] just because we have money that it makes us happy,” she said in a radio interview (via the Daily Mail). “Yes, I can pay bills. Yes, I can give my children whatever they ask for, and it's great to see them happy. But you're losing friends, you're losing family, you don't have anyone you can trust to talk to. Eminem also shares these sentiments. “I have trust issues,” he told Rolling Stone. “With women, friends, anyone. You always wonder what their real motives are.”

Since both Whitney and Alaina's parents are open about the complexities and dangers of fame, it makes sense that they would grow up sheltered from it. Not only will their privacy be protected by their parents, but they themselves are likely to be more careful with a public persona.

Girls live a different life from Hailey

In addition to getting the public's attention from a very young age, Hailey is more visible than her sisters because now she wants to be. She is currently aiming to become a social media influencer, which is why it is important for her to be seen and heard, especially online. However, even Hayley isn't very approachable. According to the Daily Mail, she "avoided" social media until 2016, when she created an Instagram account. As soon as she signed up, Hailey was overwhelmed with offers to work with big brands. “People contacted through because I don't have [management],” she said in an interview.

According to a Daily Mail source, "Haley wanted to test the water by sharing part of her life on Instagram, but isn't ready to fully expose herself there yet." That's probably why she still keeps her Twitter account private.

Alaina's Twitter account is not private and has been active since 2009, but she seems to be less interested in promoting herself than just using the account as an emotional sound board. Also, Alena can hide in plain sight a little easier than Hailey since Eminem didn't make her a spectacle. Whitney may also keep a discreet profile online, but that's likely more to do with her young age than any personal choice.

Girls don't live with Eminem.

One of the main reasons the world doesn't hear about Eminem's daughters as much as we think is because they don't live with a star. Even if they lived together, it's unlikely that Eminem's privacy rules would allow them to be seen and heard. However, Eminem, Kim and Hailey live very close to each other. Alena, now a 25-year-old college graduate, likely lives on her own (although she hasn't made the location of her residence public), while Whitney, at just 16, lives with Kim. The distance from dad, although small, keeps a little wall in front of Alena and Whitney.

However, the girls are not hiding. In June 2018, while Eminem was performing at the Governor's Ball in New York, Whitney, Hayley and her boyfriend Evan McClintock were spotted in New York to see the show. The visit didn't make much of a fuss because the girls just went shopping, watched their father perform in front of a sold out crowd, and then went home. Good behavior does wonders for keeping the tabloids quiet, especially since the world is simply not interested in inconsistent celebrity children. In the past, Eminem and Kim's tumultuous relationship has made them almost constant headlines, which is why Hayley's name has popped up here and there. The family works like a well-oiled machine these days. “He was really supportive,” Kim said of the rapper. “We are really close. We're just trying to raise our kids together and make it as normal for them as possible.”

He makes no distinction

Barring a strange interview from Eminem's more talkative past, everything we've learned about Hailey has been through his music. Although the rapper mentions each of his daughters by name in his songs, he rarely gets into the details. He doesn't even rap about Hailey as an adult very often, except for a weird passing remark. While he still reflects on Hailey's childhood, as he did on "Castle," Eminem seems to actively avoid making distinctions between girls. Sure, he may be looking at a specific point in time when neither Whitney nor Alena were in attendance, but he mostly stays fairly balanced. True parent.

After all, if he started explaining who Whitney's father is, or if he got into the finer details of her childhood, it would set her apart as something different from Hailey. The same goes for Alaina, whose biological mother died of a drug overdose in 2015. Not only will digging up his girls' past give public access to private information, but it will create distance between his daughters, making Thanksgiving rather uncomfortable around Mathers' house.

Haley Jade Mathers, the only natural daughter of rapper Eminem, can be called a real Christmas present, because she was born on December 25, 1995, when Catholics and Protestants just celebrate Christmas.

Not much is known about Hailey's childhood, yet in the 90s stars could still have a private life. However, we do know that at the time of her birth, her parents, Kim Scott and Marshall Mathers (future Eminem), were in very tight quarters and lived in a dangerous neighborhood.

With cousin

During this period, Eminem began to seriously pursue his musical career.

Relations in the family were tense, Eminem and Kim diverged and converged more than once, and even officially married twice (the same number of divorces).

Parents' wedding in 1999

Subsequently, for the sake of the children, they decided to maintain friendly relations. Despite the fact that Hailey is their only common daughter and generally the only native child Eminem, the girl has two more sisters, an older and a younger one, and a younger brother.

Fun fact: in his songs, Eminem is often rude and uses obscene language, but no one was allowed to swear in his house, and Hayley grew up to be a very well-mannered girl. And in general, despite the image of a “bad guy”, the rapper turned out to be an excellent father, attentive and caring.

With mom

Most often, the children of stars in the United States study in private schools or at home. However, Hailey attended a regular public school in Michigan. Everyone, of course, knew who her parents were, although she always used and still uses maiden name her mother - Scott, but nevertheless, she managed to lead the life of an ordinary child.

Haley was an excellent student at school and graduated with the best. She received an award for excellence. At the same time, the girl showed herself as an activist and athlete: she was a member of the student council of the school and played volleyball.

After school, Haley chose in which area to receive further education - her priorities were psychology and entrepreneurship. But psychology still won, it was she who studied at the University of Michigan, which she graduated in 2018 and also with excellent grades.

In university

Now Hailey lives with her beloved dog Lottie in a small house near her mother.

She says she's not ready to launch her career yet and isn't sure she wants to be famous. She is not going to study music following the example of her father, she is more attracted social networks, and she wants to become someone influential in this field.

She has an excellent relationship with her parents. She is often referred to as "daddy's girl" and says she is very close to her famous father. Eminem himself devotes songs to her throughout his career - he has more than a dozen tracks with her mention - and calls her his inspiration. She also constantly communicates with her mother and often visits her house, where Kim lives with her children.

Hailey thinks her parents are the most influential people in her life and believes that thanks to their support she has achieved everything she has.

Personal life

The fact that Hayley seems to have a boyfriend, everyone learned from Instagram, in which, three days after her 21st birthday, she posted a photo with a handsome guy.

His name was not mentioned. But the ubiquitous journalists unearthed that the young man's name was Evan McClintock, and he studied economics at the University of Michigan. The couple has been dating for over two years.

Eminem approves of this relationship, and Evan is a fan of his work.

Haley herself is not very active on social networks and does not flaunt her life. But on her behalf, fake accounts were created more than once. One day, a Twitter user began to write insults against Taylor Swift on her behalf. At that time, Eminem had to step in to protect his daughter and make an official statement that this account has nothing to do with the real Hailey.

Who is Eminem? Producer, actor, musician or composer? No "or". The rapper is fluent in all these professions and specialties. You can also add - father and husband. Although family life while the singer cannot boast, he managed to sign two times with his wife Eminem and divorced twice in his life. But here's how to build your career, how to become global famous celebrity and one of the greatest musicians of our time - it is worth learning from him.

A few facts from the life of Eminem

The rapper opened his own charitable foundation, which is named after his real name. The foundation's activities are aimed at helping children in Michigan who grow up in dysfunctional families.

Eminem has two alter egos - Slim Shady and Ken Caniff. It is worth noting that Kaniff is a homosexual.

• The rapper released his autobiography, a memoir called "I am who I am", where he openly spoke about his path to fame and the problems he faced and overcame. His mother also released a biography about her and his life.
• The film "8 Mile", in which Eminem played the main role, is considered autobiographical, but the actor has repeatedly said in interviews that only half of the events unfolding in the tape actually happened in his life.
• Eminem recorded his first album in 1995, but he went completely unnoticed, as in Detroit music life got fed up with hip-hop. Moreover, it was very difficult for a white guy who raps to break through in a city where most of the population is African American.
• The track "God of Rap" was listed in the Guinness Book of Records - this is a hit, the text of which contains the most words. Namely 1560. "God of Rap" is six minutes of non-stop recitative.

A family

The future King of Rap was raised in solitude by his mother Deborah R. Mathers-Briggs, who did everything possible to ensure a decent childhood for her son. Deborah married Eminem's father Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. when she was just 15 years old. Three years later, during a difficult birth that lasted 73 hours, a beautiful boy was born, who was named after his father - Marshall Bruce Mathers III. The father left the family, went to California and never saw his son.

The mother, who devoted her life to raising her son, was not hindered by anything, and in 1999 she filed a lawsuit for $ 10 million because her son allegedly slandered her in his album The Slim Shady LP . Upon completion litigation the mother nevertheless received compensation for moral damage, which was estimated at $ 1,600.

Today, Eminem is raising children alone, and behind him are two failed marriage with the same woman.

First marriage

Despite the fact that Eminem began a relationship with his future wife as a teenager, the couple decided to legalize them only in 1999, when the singer was already 27 years old. According to the singer himself and his family, the couple met at school, when the future rapper was only 15 years old, and his lover was 13.

Eminem's future wife Kim and her Native sister ran away from home and settled in Marshall's mother's house.

The relationship of the couple before marriage lasted a little over 10 years. But the official union did not last long - in 2000 they already filed for divorce, which ended in 2001. The reason for the divorce was the behavior of Kimberly Scott, Eminem's wife. The woman allowed herself to drive while intoxicated and was detained twice at that time. Kim also suffered from other bad habits.

Second marriage

In 2006, the former spouses decided to renew their relationship and re-entered into an official marriage. But, like the first time, happiness did not last long. The marriage lasted several months, followed by a second divorce. The divorce process took a little time, and in the same 2006, Eminem's wife became an ex for the second time.

The official reason for the divorce was not announced, but judging by the fact that over the years outside of marriage, Kim's addictions have not changed, you can guess that it was she who again became the culprit of the divorce.

Further relationship with his wife

Rumors periodically arise in the press that Eminem's ex-wife again decided to renew relations, but the singer categorically denies everything. He clearly and confidently indicates that this relationship has come to a final and unconditional end. But the spouses in joint custody are raising a common daughter, born before the conclusion of the first marriage.

Kimberly Scott also said in an interview that ex-husband She is very helpful and supportive. Judging by the photo, Eminem's wife is not going through better times. A few years ago, she even tried to commit suicide - in a state of alcoholic and drug intoxication, she crashed into a tree in a car.

Surviving, she went to rehab and later regretted her momentary weakness. Apparently, problems with drugs and booze haunt Kimberly Scott all her life and can often subdue her. In a constant struggle with temptations, Kim often loses.

Children

Without a doubt, Eminem is very fond of children and is a good, caring father. The rapper has three daughters: Haley, Alina and Whitney. He also acts as the legal guardian of his half-brother Nathan.

Of all the singer's children, only Hailey is his biological daughter. Her celebrity was born by his first love Kim Scott in 1995.

Alaina is Kim's sister's daughter. Eminem's wife's sister suffered from a drug addiction that ruined her life. As soon as she began to have serious drug problems, Kimberly and Eminem took the baby, adopted and raised her as their own. Alaina's biological mother died of an overdose a couple of years ago.

Whitney is Kim herself's daughter from another relationship. Eminem considered it necessary to adopt her as well, as his wife suffered from constant depression and alcohol addiction. The singer successfully overcame his addictions, and everything indicates that he became a wonderful father of three wonderful girls.

The life of the best-selling musical artist of our time is seething with events and achievements. Eminem has achieved unprecedented heights in musical career and is not going to stop there. The whole world is looking forward to new creations from the king of hip-hop, both in the music world and in the world of cinema.
