Eminem Is Going To Be A Grandfather, He Reveals In ‘Temporary’ Music Video

With his latest album, Eminem killed off his alter ego Slim Shady, but he’s replaced him with a new nickname: Grandpa.

The rapper announced his daughter Hailie Jade’s pregnancy in a heartfelt music video that respects their bond. Home movies dating back to 1999, images of the father-daughter combination, and videos from her May wedding are highlighted by the sad song “Temporary” in the video released on Thursday.

In one clip from a recent home video, Em’s daughter offers him a jersey with the name “Grandpa” and the number 1 on the back. She also provides him with ultrasound photographs, and he looks surprised.

The social media star revealed her pregnancy with an Instagram post just hours after the video was aired on Thursday. “Mom & dad estimated 2025,” she captioned the photo.

Representatives for Em, 51, did not immediately respond to demands for comment.

“Temporary,” from Em’s most recent album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” is written as a soothing message to his daughter following his death. “I’m watchin’ you right now, baby girl, I vow/I will protect you, your guardian angel,” he says in the song, which came out in July.

The “Lose Yourself” singer has always had a sweet place for his daughter, constantly addressing her in his songs and even writing whole tributes to her such as “Hailie’s Song” and “Mockingbird.”

In “Mockingbird,” a fan favorite, Eminem sings, “What does Daddy always tell you?” Straighten up, little soldier,” a song he returns to in “Temporary.”

Eminem has only one biological daughter, Jade, whom he had with his ex-wife Kim Scott. He also adopted Scott’s two daughters from previous relationships.
