Eminem's father reading a magazine about his son in 2001.
‎
‎He last saw Eminem in 1974 when he abandoned the family and left Eminem's mother to raise him in poverty.
‎
‎He died in 2019 in Indiana without meeting his son as an adult.
‎
‎It Was The Page He Couldn't Turn:
‎
‎When Eminem’s Father Met His Son Through a Magazine
‎
‎Imagine opening a glossy magazine in 2001. Flip past the fashion trends, the advertisements for flip phones, and the pop culture gossip, until you hit a massive, multi-page feature on the biggest, most controversial rockstar on the planet: Eminem.
‎
‎For millions of readers, it was just another look into the chaotic world of Marshall Mathers.
‎
‎ But for one older man sitting in Indiana, looking at that face was like looking into a rearview mirror that had been shattered decades ago.
‎
‎That man was Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. And the rap god dominating the charts was the son he hadn't seen since 1974.

Have been a strong fan of Eminem for decades, it's painful they didn't meet in person as adults.
I won't even forget his song, HEADLIGHT,a tribute to his mumm.
I which he did the same for his Dad. Even tho he f**kud up.

Headlights hit different once you actually process what he was apologizing for.

Wild that a man who built his whole career on brutal honesty needed a whole album to say sorry to his mum.

You think Hailie ever gets a song like that, or is she too private for that kind of exposure?

Hailie won't ever get a song like that. Besides he knows what he went thru, and made sure such didn't happen with her.

My boss.. That's actually the point though — he broke the cycle instead of repeating it, and that's rarer than people give him credit for.

Most people who grow up in chaos either become their parents or spend a lifetime pretending it didn't affect them.

He did neither, he made an album about it and then made sure his own kid never had material for one. That's the real glow up, not the bars.

Absentee fathers should learn from this. You run away and try to wall your way back when your son made it big.

The first real white rapper was Vanilla Ice followed by Eminem

na werey papa eminem get. gaddam it

Imagine if some man had married his Mom and helped raise him to be a good person, and encouraged his musical career.

That "simp" would be celebrated today as a good man, while the idiot sperm-bank of a "biological father" died without ever seeing him again.

Before y'all come here and write rubbish, lemme just tell you that Eminem himself has done the same thing!

His Dad abandoned him, but he adopted another man's child by his ex-wife Kim, and is raising her as his own.

This post just got me to listen to one of his greatest hit "Cleanin Out My Closet"

Eminem nwoke oma.... Rapper like no other

Never a good way to have an absent parent. It seldom goes well. But one thing for sure. If his dad had been around he certainly won't be what he is or what he will become. For better or worse. That is the irony of life. A good number just do well inspite of adversity.

After Tupac Amaru Shakur, then Eminem Slim shady

Lose yourself in tha music the moment you hold it you better never let it go!!!!..........Eminem(2003)

The real slim shady...pls stand up

How time flies, this is great

The most ouching thing about eminem is is undieing love for his (ex) wife , kim.

Keep chase him awy from.their home because he spends so much time on music nf dont really comtrinut much to home.economy...she was paying alone for all hailes bills..

Emenem went away to become a supersar. Rapped so much about her, later got back with her but it didnt last.

She later got trapped in drug addiction nd emenem has to adopt her child and also kims sister's chid .that was in a bid to give haile company and also help train thr othe girls through good life..

Emenem nerr gave up on haile' mom, kim, twice he paid for her rehabilitation n continues to pay he rent when she became homeless...

Inshort Emenen bought. House for her on th same street as him so he an keep watch over her drugs issues till date..he send he monthly upkeep...till date

He made that song when he was emotionally matured. Guess he understood better and saw things differently at that point

Was Tupac batter than him in anyway? I doubt. Pac had passion and you could tell from his voice. But punchline, lyrically and artistically. Em is way better

To me, the greatest rapper ever.

which kind useless house be this one. abeg better pack go face me I face you.

Some men don't intend to abandon their kids, they may just be trying to avoid the mothers they've now grown to hate. But there are still many ways nowadays you can get across to a child even if you don't want to have any thing to do with the mother. The same goes for a woman whose kids are with the father.
