Eminem s father interviews

Marshall Bruce Mathers is Eminem’s biological father. He died in June 2019 after suffering a heart attack.

TMZ was the first to report on June 26 that Mathers had died at the age of 67. Mathers is alleged to have abandoned Eminem when the rapper was an infant, something that is spoken about in his song, “Cleaning Out My Closet.” While in Eminem’s breakout song, “My Name Is,” he rapped, “When you see my dad, tell him I slit his throat in this dream I had.”

At various points during Eminem’s career, Mathers had publicly tried to reconnect with his son. While Eminem has maintained that he has never spoken to his father and that he never wants to.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. Mathers Was in a Band Named Daddy Warbucks With Eminem’s Mother Debbie When the Rapper Was Born

Mathers had been in a band named Daddy Warbucks with Eminem’s mother, Debbie, prior to the singer’s birth. When Eminem was three, Mathers moved to San Diego, California where he had two other children, Michael and Sarah. Eminem’s parents officially divorced in 1975. Eminem was raised on the east side of Detroit.

In an April 1999 interview with Rolling Stone, Eminem said that he attempted to contact his father via letters during his teenage years. Eminem said his mother told him the letters came back “return to sender.” In the interview, Eminem mentioned that he’d heard his father was trying to contact him as the rapper’s career had just taken off.

2. In 2001, Mathers Began Giving Interviews in an Attempt to Talk to His Son

Mathers gave an interview to the Daily Mirror newspaper in February 2001 in which he issued a plea for his son to contact. Mathers said told the tabloid that he didn’t want money from his son.

Mathers said, “I desperately want to meet my son and

Eminem has said that there is 'no excuse' for his dad to not know him.

The rapper, real name Marshall Mathers III, opened up about the relationship he had with his estranged father, whom he shares a name with, Marshall 'Bruce' Mathers, Jr.

The 'Slim Shady' icon has regularly rapped about his dysfunctional upbringing in several of his tracks, alongside how he has handled fatherhood himself after becoming a dad to Hailie Jade, 26, alongside his two adopted children, Alaina, 29, and Stevie, 21.

Eminem’s mum, Debbie Nelson, revealed in her 2008 memoir, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem, that she was only 15 years old when she married Bruce, who was a whole seven years older than her at the time.

Just two years later, when she was 17 and Bruce was 24, the pair welcomed their son to the world.

The marriage quickly broke down after Bruce allegedly became physically abusive towards Debbie and they split up soon after the 'Lose Yourself' rapper was born.

"He never knew his father, and I did all I could to make up for it," she wrote. "I wanted Marshall to have a relationship with his father… but Bruce didn’t want to know."

But it's clear that this wasn't going to hold the future star back as he has since acted as one of the major modern figureheads of the rap scene and took the world by storm in the late 1990s through to the 2000s.

Speaking on an episode of 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper about his father, who left when he was just six months old, Eminem revealed: "I never knew him. Never met him, never knew him."

When asked by the host if he had any desire to, the 'Mockingbird' hit-maker explained: "I don't know.

"I don't know, some people ask me that. I don't think I do."

Eminem has become a family man. During two long conversations over two days in Detroit in October, he constantly mentions the kids he’s raising, as any proud father would: His daughter, Hailie Jade, will soon be nine, his niece Alaina is eight, and his half brother, Nate, is eighteen. In October, Marshall Mathers turned thirty-two. He grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, and Detroit without a father figure, but he has grown into a committed parent who goes to school plays and everything. He schedules most of his recording in Detroit and has put his movie career on hold so he can be home with the kids at night.

He has slowed down his drinking and his drug use since two 2000 gun charges that he feared would take him away from Hailie, but his ex, Kim Mathers, has slogged through her own legal morass. In June 2003 she was arrested for possession of cocaine, then failed to show up in court and for a short while hid from the police. Eminem says that explaning the situation to Hailie and Alaina “was one of the hardest things I ever had to go through.” At the time of our first interview, Kim was in jail. At the time of our last interview, she had been released. “She’s out right now,” he said. “We’re hoping that stays kosher.”

Encore is Eminem’s fifth solo album, and he remains one of the most skilled, compelling, audacious, obnoxious and important MCs in hip-hop. He thanks his mother for the troubled childhood that still fuels his anger in “Never Enough”; he tells Kim that he hates her in “Puke” and that he still loves her in “Crazy in Love”; and he declares his devotion to Hailie on “Mockingbird,” which he calls his most emotional song ever. He also attacks President Bush for the Iraq War in “Mosh” and says, “Strap him with an AK. . . Let him impress Daddy that way.”
