Anyone who sees photos of Eminem's daughter on Instagram today will have realized that Hailie wants to be famous. Even more. If you've heard of Slim Shady's music, you've no doubt also heard of his complicated family.
?Eminem and his daughter?: inseparable
It's all too easy to get lost in Eminem's family tree: absent father (and recently deceased), drug-addicted mother, ex-troubled (Kimberly Anne Scott), rapper brother (also half wiped off the map despite having been in several music videos for Eminem) and Eminem's children. Or the daughter. Or rather, the daughters.
Hailie Jade, 24, is just one of Eminem's three children (daughters, in this case). Paradoxically, as much as Mr. Mathers has fought for their identities and lives to remain private, Eminem's daughter in 2020, Hailie Jade Scott, is a model with two million followers.
Hailie Jade Scott: Eminem's most famous daughter
Just look at Hailie's first surname: it's not her father's Mathers but her mother's Scott. Her parents did it to safeguard the privacy of the young woman and her sisters. But… Does Eminem have more than one daughter? Really? Below we try to unravel the mess and, above all, to explain the important impact of Hailie Jade Scott on Eminem's songs throughout all his albums.
How many daughters does Eminem have? Kimberly Anne Scott
Marshall Bruce Mathers III has three daughters, although only one of them is biological. Although Eminem has been linked to Mariah Carey, Cristina Aguilera, Rihanna and even Nicki Minaj, he has only ever walked one woman down the aisle. And he has done it twice.
Eminem has been married twice to the same woman, his longtime girlfriend: Kim, whose full name is Kimberly Anne Scott. The first marriage lasted from 1999 to 2001, while the second began and ended in a matter of a few months in the year 2006. Before all this, on December 25, 1995, Hailie was born, the only daughter in common of Marshall Mathers and Kim. Eminem has two other goddaughters whom he treats as if they were his daughters. Alaina is the daughter of Kim's sister who passed away in 2016, while Whitney is a daughter Kim had with another man. Eminem is the legal guardian of both.
Hailie Jade: from anonymity to Instagram model photos
Anyone who follows the Instagram of Eminem's biological daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, will have noticed that the young woman is getting a star face. Eminem's daughter opened her Instagram account about four years ago and with the main objective of erasing from the map the numerous false accounts that at that time swarmed the Internet with girls who claimed to be Eminem's daughters. Over the past two years, Hailie has gotten her act together and filled her feed of images of all kinds that seek to "represent" his life "in an aesthetically pleasing way," according to his Instagram bio.
Eminem's daughter aspires to become an influencer in the world of fashion.
At 24 years Eminem's daughter follows the patterns set by Kendall Jenner and Paris Hilton on shift, aspiring to be a whole influence. Sensual photos, images of lattes, snapshots sponsored by clothing brands... the only difference (besides the relationship with the author of Music to be murdered by) is that Eminem's daughter has a degree in psychology. Although the truth is that she does not look like she is going to use it at any time in the near future. Hailie Jade wants to be a an influencer and, for now, it already has two million followers on Instagram.
Recently, on the occasion of Valentine's Day, Eminem's daughter published an image in which she dropped that she had ended the relationship with Evan McClintock, her boyfriend for years, because the young woman appeared alone and saying that it was not necessary to have couple to celebrate Valentine's Day. That Eminem's daughter wants to be a social media star is something that attracts a lot of attention. And not just because she is the daughter of who she is.
Throughout his entire musical career, Hailie has been one of the key themes in Eminem's songs. It is possible that no other artist has fought so hard to safeguard the identity and privacy of his offspring. And, at the same time, mention it incessantly. The irony is obvious. Marshall Mathers has built two decades of success supported by his daughter. And although the phrase may sound exaggerated, at Postposmo we are going to prove it with numerous tests.

Eminem's daughter in his songs
This is just a brief selection of Eminem's songs where Hailie has a greater role. We have left out the most veiled mentions that Eminem's daughter has received in many songs. The list would be too long.
Infinite – Never 2 far
I got a baby on the way, I don't even got a car
Already in his first musical work (not even a studio album), we hear an Eminem very worried about the future that is upon him. Even though Infinite dates back to 1996 and Hailie Jade was born a year earlier, in the intro of the song never 2 far we listen to a broke Marshall Mathers who doesn't even have enough to pay for the bus and announces that he has a baby on the way.
The Slim Shady LP/EP – '97 Bonnie & Clyde
Mama's too sweepy to hear you screaming in her ear (ma-maa!)
That's why you can't get her to wake, but don't worry
Da-da made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake
Here, you wanna help da-da tie a rope around this rock? (yeah!)
This song is a formidable example of the layer of magic that the Dr. Dre production applied to Eminem's first songs from his second demo, The Slim Shady EP. The album version is much more revamped, although the lyrics are identical to the EP. Just the two of us It inaugurates a genre in which Eminem will repeat frequently throughout his career: that of the songs dedicated to his daughter.
In addition to professing his unconditional love, in this first chapter of The Adventures of Eminem & Hailie we can hear the most brutal of father-daughter collaborations; the golden dream of a lawyer specializing in divorce litigation: Hailie Jade (who still can't even speak) helps his father to throw a car containing his mother's body in the trunk into a lake. How it sounds.
The Marshall Mathers LP – The way I am
But at least have the decency in you
To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter
In the most personal song from Eminem's best album, we find a brief allusion to his daughter when he asks the "crazy people" who assault him on the street to at least have the decency to leave him alone when they see him giving him eat Hailie.
The Marshall Mathers LP–Kim
How did you get so big?
Can't believe it now you're two
Baby you're so precious
Daddy's so proud of you
It is perhaps the most brutal song of Eminem's more than 20-year musical career and one of the most brutal songs of all time. hip hop history. In Kim we hear how Marshall murders Kim while her baby sleeps next door. The baby, of course, is Eminem's only daughter, Hailie. We heard the knife, the stab wounds, and Kim herself bleeding to death. Too.
The Eminem Show – Hailie's song
If you ever need anything, daddy will be right there
Well guess what, daddy's here
And I ain't goin' nowhere baby
I love you
Without a doubt, the title of the song says it all. Although it is not the only Eminem song in which we hear him address his daughter, Hailie's song It is the most remembered of all. For quality, content, catchy chorus and degree of emotion. "If you ever need anything, Daddy will be here. And he guess what: daddy is here. And I'm not going anywhere. I love you".
Hailie's song is easily one of the absolute best Eminem songs. In it, he addresses his daughter to remind her how much he loves her, how much her existence helps him cope with everyday life, and to literally confess how glad he is that his ex-girlfriend, Kim, didn't have an abortion. Hailie's song It was not only released in what we could call the last phase of its first stage (the best stage, why fool ourselves), but it is also the song that closes The Eminem Show.
In a certain way, it is a farewell song, because after The Eminem Show nothing would ever be the same. Only one song will equal Hailie's song in quality in the near future: When I'm gone. Its translated title says it all: when I'm gone.
The Eminem Show – My dad's gone crazy
I'm goin' to hell!
Who's comin' with me?
Somebody please help him!
I think my dad's gone crazy
New double by Eminem's daughter on her third album, although it is true that this song is somewhat silly, playful and irrelevant. So much so that Eminem's own daughter participates in it to say that her father has probably gone crazy and needs help because he says he is going straight to hell. This song gave Hailie (who was six years old) the Guinness World Record for the youngest person to participate in a rap or R&B song. More information in Guinness website.
Doe Rae Me (Hailie's Revenge)
Hailie, come here, baby! Bring Daddy his Oscar!
We're gonna shove it up Ja Rule's ass
Eminem responded to Ja Rule (throwing the Oscar for 8 Mile in the ass) after he questioned the kind of life that awaited Haile ("Eminem, you say your mother is a drug addict and Kim a whore, what will become of Hailie when she grows up). The song is not part of any Eminem album. As he has shown with the rest of his rivals (Benzino, MGK or Lord Jamar), Eminem does not usually include beeftracks on their studio albums.
Encore–Mockingbird
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
Hailie I know you miss your mother and father. Well I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life I never had. I see that you are sad, even when you smile, when you laugh, I see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry.
Despite the fact that on the previous album Eminem told his daughter that he was not going anywhere, it seems that he has changed his mind. Joking apart, Mockingbird It is by far the best song from one of Eminem's most regrettable albums (with several songs written in a hurry and without any care, as the Detroit rapper himself acknowledged).
Mockingbird compete directly with Hailie's song in the section of best intimate song of the entire catalog of Eminem. Again, a theme addressed to his daughter in its entirety. And, this time, video clip included. The video of Mockingbird it is exactly the opposite that someone who intends to safeguard the privacy of his family should launch, as it is made up exclusively of home recordings from the childhood of Eminem's daughter with her sister Alaina.
Curtain Call: The hits – When I'm gone
Daddy where's mommy?
I can't find mommy, where is she?»
«I don't know, go play, Hailie baby, your daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gon' write itself
Despite being a greatest hits compilation album, curtain call includes for the third time in a row a song in which Eminem addresses his daughter, this time to apologize for all the times he was absent. We have no doubt that Eminem has been and is an exceptional father, although it seems clear that there were times when he did not see him in the same way.
It is an interesting song dominated, once again, by a very cozy and nostalgic intimate atmosphere, this time starring a mellifluous violin that seems to anticipate the five years of silence that followed this album. The video stars an actress who plays Eminem's daughter and who goes so far as to sneak into a rapper's concert in Sweden.
Relapse – Deja Vu
Look at my daughter's face
"Mommy, something is wrong with dad I think
He's acting weird again, he's really beginning to scare me
Recovery – Going through changes
Hailie, this one is for you, Whitney and Alaina too
I still love your mother, that'll never change
Think about her every day, we just could never get it together, hey
Going through changes (going through changes) is without a doubt one of Eminem's most personal and emotional songs. Released in 2010 as part of his second post-barbiturate overdose album, Eminem reviews his current life and the way in which he has had to change certain habits. The fragment in which he recalls how he was about to die deserves special mention. In addition to dedicating the song to Hailie, Whitney and Alaina, we can listen to the very biological daughter of Eminem Screaming Daddy! Daddy! in an interesting fusion between his screams and the beeping of the machine that records heart rhythms.
Later, we hear that Eminem wakes up in a hospital bed surrounded by tubes, so it can be concluded that Eminem's daughter was calling her father when he was passing out. This is an episode that we will hear again in subsequent works and, very especially, in revival, where Eminem makes a very interesting experiment of temporal duality.
Revival–Castle
December 1st, 1995, dear Hailie
This is your song
In addition to being the best song on what is, without a doubt, his worst album, Castle It's a great exercise storytelling at the height of the mythical Stan. in Castle We hear three letters from Eminem to his daughter, each written at different times in their lives. The first is written when Eminem is poor and Hailie is not yet born; the second dates from 1997 (Eminem is about to sign with Interscope); and the third, from 2007, tells us about an Eminem drunk with fame who is thinking of leaving the world of music.
It's a fascinating trilogy where we hear a pre-star and post-star confessional Eminem. We find ourselves with an ultra-sincere Eminem in which there is hardly any room for the positive while, in the background, we heard the sound of pills shaking in the bottle. In the last fragment, fed up with his pace of life, Eminem says goodbye to his daughter because he says he feels sleepy. Then we hear how he breaks down.
Kamikaze- Not alike & Killshot
And I'm talking to you but you already know who the fuck you are, Kelly
I don't use sublims and sure as fuck don't sneak-diss
But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie
The mention in not like It's short, just one line, and it's directed at rapper Machine Gun Kelly, who spoke of Hailie in somewhat disparaging terms during a radio interview years ago. It will be after his response with the remarkable theme Rap Devil when Eminem will unleash all the artillery on killshot, a song that was worked on in a matter of a few days and that will be remembered as one of the best beef tracks of Eminem's entire career.
