Eminem shared how proud he is of his 24-year-old daughter during his appearance on Mike Tyson's podcast, "Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson."
Hailie Jade Mathers, the rapper's daughter, graduated from a psychology course with a GPA of 3.9 from Michigan State University. She was also a Dean's lister. Eminem, or Marshall Mathers, said that Hallie did well to make her father proud.
Another thing that made Eminem proud of his daughter is that she graduated without having babies, and she only has a boyfriend of whom he approves. Hailie is currently in a relationship with Evan McClintock, who is a fan of Eminem.
Hailie is the only biological daughter of Eminem with Kimberly Anne Scott. The famous rapper married Kim twice, and they separated in 2006. His fans know Eminem's ex-wife and the younger Mathers well because of his song lyrics.
Eminem Proud to be Able to Raise Kids
The 47-year-old rapper said that "it's definitely crazy" that he has a daughter who is a big girl now. He adopted his daughter's two half-sisters, Whitney and Parker, and helped raise a niece who is now all grown up.
According to Eminem, of all his accomplishments, what he is most proud of, is being able to raise kids. He added that it is vital to keep the kids "grounded" when they have famous parents.
Hailie Turned 24
Hailie turned 24 on Christmas Day last year. They celebrated with a disco-themed photoshoot in a skating rink.
She captioned her photos with "got groovy to celebrate 24" where she got 100 thousand likes. Followed by several posts that said, "it's my birthday and I'll post if I want to."
As a social media influencer, Hailie Jade Mathers has more than 1.9 million followers on Instagram.
Hailie is Very Close to Eminem
Hailie is very close to her dad. She did not hesitate giving Daily Mail an interview. The Michigan State University graduate has little interest in the music though, unlike her father, who is a famous rapper. She is more into cosmetics, showcasing her makeup skills on her social media account.
Hailie is Eminem's Inspiration
Eminem said that Hailie is his biggest inspiration when he was broke and was starting as a rapper in run-down Detroit. In 2002, the 47-year-old rapper said that Hailie had been his source of drive and motivation, especially when he first held her in his arms. He did not have a career, money, and house at that time. Hallie is what pushed him to fight because he thought of how he will raise her.
He added that his daughter is his driving force to stay busy and focused. She is the reason why he is afraid of failure; he wants his daughter to think that her dad "succeeded."
Finally, Eminem said that the reason he talks about Hailie a lot is that she is the only thing that he has in this world. If the world suddenly ends, she will be his everything.
