Hailey Jade Scott Mathers opens up about the whirlwind of emotions she experienced while listening to her father Eminem’s new album «Death of Slim Shady».
The 51-year-old rapper was candid about his difficult past, both in his career and personal life. Once known as one of the most controversial artists through his alter ego Slim Shady, Eminem now reflects on the importance of life and leaving that persona behind. His new songs «Temporary» featuring Skylar Grey and «Somebody Save Me» featuring Jelly Roll deeply touched the 28-year-old podcast host.
Both songs address his struggle with addiction, which he has now overcome, marking 16 years of sobriety. In «Somebody Save Me», - Eminem directly apologizes to Hailey, rapping, «Message to my daughters / I don’t even deserve the title of father / Hailey, 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, baby».
He continues, «I'm so proud of how you’ve grown / Sorry I chose drugs over you / Sorry I didn’t love you enough to / Quit them, what the fuck, I don’t love you more than a pill?» While in «Temporary» he talks to Hailey about what life could be like after he’s gone.
During an episode of her podcast «Just a Little Shady», - Hailey shared her reaction: «Talking about what I watched last week — which, I guess I’ll say I watched but refuse to watch again — the music video for 'Somebody Save Me' came out, and I watched it… I don’t think I can do it again. I definitely cry every time I hear it».
Growing up, Hailey acknowledged that her parents, Eminem and Kim Scott, «very well» shielded her from the darker aspects of their lives when she was young. However, as she grew older and realized the reality, she admitted, «It's so scary to think about. I think that’s why I react emotionally so often, just thinking about what could have happened».
The memory of Marshall Bruce Mathers III’s songs evokes deep emotions in Hailey: «The older I get, the less I can listen to any of the songs», - she confessed
