Eminem’s Daughter

Eminem’s daughter has watched her dad’s latest music video — and she never will again.

Hailie Jade, the 28-year-old daughter of the “Without Me” rapper, shared on her “Just a Little Shady” podcast on Friday that she cried watching the video for her father’s song “Somebody Save Me” and finds it too emotional to ever revisit.

“I watched it in (its) entirety, and I don’t think I can do it again,” she said. “I definitely cry every time I hear it at all.”

In the track from Eminem’s latest album “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce),” the Grammy winner references his children by name and apologizes to them, saying he doesn’t “even deserve the father title.”

“Hailie, I’m so sorry / I know I wasn’t there for your first guitar recital / Didn’t walk you down the aisle / Missed the birth of your first child / Your first podcast, looking down sweetie / I’m so proud of how you turned out,” he raps.

In reality, Eminem and Jade shared a father-daughter dance at her wedding in May. The song appeared to imagine a scenario where the rapper, who has been open about his past struggles with drug addiction, never got sober.

Eminem goes on to tell Hailie in the song that he’s “sorry that I chose drugs and put ’em above you” and “didn’t love you enough to give ’em up.” He also apologizes to his children Alaina and Stevie, rapping, “Alaina, sorry that you had to hear me fall in the bathroom,” and “Stevie, I’m sorry I missed you / Grow up and I didn’t get to / Be the dad I wanted to be to you.”

The music video, which dropped last week and features Jelly Roll, intersperses home video footage of Eminem’s kids. He shares Hailie Jade with ex-wife Kim Scott and adopted Alaina and Stevie.

Jade shared on the podcast that she “audibly sobbed” while listening to both “Somebody Save Me” and another one of her dad’s new songs, “Temporary,” which he says is for her to listen to after he dies. “Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song / To help you cope with life now that I’m gone,” he raps on the track.
