Eminem revealed Thursday that he’ll soon be going by a new moniker: “Grandpa,” according to published reports.
The rapper, 51, dropped a music video for his latest single “Temporary,” which rolls through decades of photos and home video footage of the famous father and daughter, Hailie, including scenes of the two dancing at her May wedding to Evan McClintock.
The clip culminates with Hailie, 28, passing her dad a Detroit Lions jersey that says “Grandpa” on the back, as a seemingly stunned and teary-eyed Eminem holds up a sonogram photo of his future grandchild who is due next year.
Hailie Jade, a podcaster and influencer, while kept largely out of the limelight as a child, has been referenced in several of Eminem’s songs over the years, including “’97 Bonnie and Clyde” from his major label debut, 1999′s, “The Slim Shady LP.”
A sample of her voice was later used as part of the chorus to “My Dad’s Gone Crazy” from the rapper’s 2002 album “The Eminem Show.”
Hailie and siblings Alaina and Stevie feature briefly in a scene from the video for “Houdini” from 2024′s “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)” album.
