Eminem revealed he’s about to become a grandad in his music video for latest release ‘Temporary’
Eminem has revealed daughter Hailie Jade is expecting a baby which means he’ll become a grandad.
In May, Eminem – real name Marshall Bruce Mathers II – began releasing singles from his latest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) from ‘Houdini’ to ‘Tobey’. However, the latest and third music video release for ‘Temporary’ has taken fans by surprise – and for more than one reason.
The video saw fans first start reaching for their tissues as soon as they clocked the song was dedicated to Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade as a song for her to listen to when he dies.
Eminem opens ‘Temporary’ by saying: “A lot of people ask me, am I afraid of death?
“The truth is, I think what scares me the most is not being able to say all the things I wanna say to you when I’m no longer here.
“So, this song is for Hailie, for when that day comes.”
The song sees the Real Slim Shady comforting his daughter about his future passing and also features audio of him and Hailie from when she was a toddler.
And that’s not all.
Oh no, as if the song isn’t tear-jerking enough already, Eminem used the music video to reveal Hailie is pregnant and he is set to become a grandfather.
Hailie married husband Evan McClintock in May earlier this year – footage from the ceremony included in Eminem’s ‘Temporary’ music video.
The video then moves onto a clip of Hailie coming outdoors to join her dad carrying a blue jersey, sitting down on the stairs alongside Eminem, handing the top over to him.
Eminem unravels the sports jersey to reveal it says: “GRANDPA 1.”
Another clip goes on to show Hailie handing Eminem a photograph of an ultrasound scan.
Add in further footage of Hailie as a baby, alongside her and Eminem dancing at her wedding and it’s impossible not to leak a tear or two.
Hailie even admitted herself she can’t help but ‘audibly sob’ when she hears ‘Temporary’ but also another song on her dad’s latest album ‘Somebody Save Me’.
Oh and ‘Mockingbird,’ Hailie saying on her podcast: “I can’t even listen to it anymore without crying. The older I get, the less I can listen to any of the songs.”
