After more than 20 years since Eminem rapped about taking care of his cherished daughter Hailie Jade, the iconic rapper is set to embrace a new role as a grandparent. This exciting news was revealed in a heartfelt music video for his song “Temporary,” which is featured on his latest album “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).” The emotional track serves as a letter from Eminem to Hailie, intended to offer her comfort after his passing.
Although the album dropped in July, the music video was released on Thursday and highlights the deep bond between Eminem and Hailie. It weaves together nostalgic home video clips from over 25 years ago with footage from Hailie’s recent wedding to Evan McClintock. This includes the touching father-daughter dance and Eminem’s emotional reaction upon seeing Hailie in her wedding dress for the first time.
Towards the end of the video, Eminem is sitting on a porch when Hailie gifts him a Detroit Lions jersey. Instead of a player’s name, the jersey reads “Grandpa.” A surprised Eminem then holds up a sonogram, confirming that Hailie is expecting a child.
The announcement quickly gained attention, with the music video garnering nearly five million views within just 24 hours. While representatives for Eminem have not commented, Hailie Jade took to Instagram to share the news with a caption reading “Mom & dad est. 2025.” Further details about the baby’s due date or the couple’s knowledge of the baby’s sex have not been disclosed.
