It’s official—Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, is about to drop his most anticipated collaboration yet: becoming a grandpa! His daughter, Hailie Jade, revealed her pregnancy in the most Mathers fashion possible: handing her dad a blue jersey that read “Grandpa.” Cue jaw drop, watery eyes, and the moment we all collectively felt a little older.
Eminem has been rapping about Hailie since the beginning. From “Mockingbird” to “Hailie’s Song,” it’s safe to say we’ve all had a front-row seat to his fatherhood journey. And now, Hailie’s expanding that story, which means… is it too much to hope for “Grandpa’s Song” or an entire Slim Grandaddy album? Eminem’s already gone from Slim Shady to Responsible Dad, so Grandpa Mathers is just the natural progression of his lyrical evolution.
But seriously, imagine the next rap single. Something like:
You're insane if you thinking I'm dropping lyrics lol.
OK, maybe we’ll leave the rapping to Em, but one thing’s for sure—he’s about to have a whole new muse to inspire him. With Hailie and Evan McClintock starting their own family, it’s like we’re getting the deluxe edition of Eminem’s life story. And we are here for it.
The real question, though: Will the grandkid be bumpin’ to “Lose Yourself” while bouncing in their high chair? Probably. And we can’t wait for the inevitable Twitter meltdown when that first picture of Baby Mathers in a tiny hoodie hits the internet.
