Eminem mentions daughter Hailie in famous song he now hates and no longer performs at his shows

Eminem mentions daughter Hailie in famous song he now hates and no longer performs at his shows

Even though it's one of his biggest hits, Slim Shady leaves one certain track off his set list and 'cringes' if it comes on the radio

Eminem is an artist who isn't scared of drawing upon his own real life experiences to create a musical masterpiece - no matter how personal or traumatic those times might have been.

His toxic relationships with both his mother, Debbie Nelson, and his former wife ,Kim Scott, have provided inspiration for a lot of his hit tunes, with the rapper using his bars to detail his raw emotions about certain situations.

There's two other women in his life who have also acted as muses for the 8 Mile star's music over the year's too, but the lyrics he uses to describe this pair are laden with love, rather than resentment.

His daughter's Hailie Jade and Alaina, his niece who he adopted when she was a child, have also been the subjects of Slim Shady's songs over the years.

Tracks including Mockingbird, My Dad's Gone Crazy and Hailie's Song are dedicated to the girls.

In some of his raps, Eminem would end up referencing all of these individual ladies in his life and his conflicting emotions towards them - which can make for some pretty, er, mental music.

Take the songs '97 Bonnie & Clyde or Kim - he's spitting about killing the mother of his kid, while a young Hailie Jade is ad libbing in the background.

There's some very complicated feelings involved, but it seems that Eminem has come to regret some of his lyrical outbursts from over the years.

There's one song in his extensive catalogue which he refuses to perform ever again and even confessed that he 'cringes' if he hears it played on the radio - even though it's a fan favourite.

Most people will remember the contents of his 2002 track Cleanin' Out My Closet, mainly due to the fact it was brimming with some pretty dark bars directed at his mother - while he also mentioned his beloved daughter Hailie Jade in it too.

The little girl who we often heard giggle in the back of her dad's songs is all grown up now and has just got hitched to her partner Evan McClintock over the weekend in Michigan.

Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, was suited and booted for the big day - but there was no chance of him grabbing the mic at the reception and reciting Cleanin' Out My Closet for old times sake.

Firstly, the lyrics don't exactly scream 'congratulations to the happy couple' - as the rapper brands Debbie a 'selfish b***h' who he hopes will 'burn in hell', accusing her of having Münchausen's Syndrome and a prescription drug problem.

Eminem says in the third verse: "My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't, 'til I grew up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to your stomach, doesn't it?

He continued: "Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, ma? So you could try to justify the way you treated me, ma? But guess what?

"You're getting older now and it's cold when you're lonely and Nathan's growing up so quick he's gonna know that you're phony.

"And Haile's getting so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful. But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral."

As you have probably gathered, Eminem held onto some resentment towards his mother due to the troubled childhood he experienced. However, he seemed to have a change of heart 12 years after Cleanin' Out My Closet was released.

In his 2014 track Headlights, he apologised to Debbie for verbally attacking her.

The rapper said: "My mom probably got it the worst. The brunt of it, but as stubborn as we are, did I take it too far?

"Cleanin' Out My Closet and all them other songs. But regardless, I don’t hate you ‘cause ma. You're still beautiful to me, 'cause you're my mom. But I’m sorry mama for Cleanin’ Out My Closet, at the time I was angry.

"Rightfully maybe so, never meant that far to take it though, ‘cause. Now I know it’s not your fault and I’m not making jokes. That song I no longer play at shows and I cringe every time it’s on the radio."

Debbie sued her son for $10 million in 1999 before settling for a $25,000 sum two years later.

The mother-and-son are said to remain estranged to this day - but at least he doesn't enjoy having packed-out arenas singing that his mum's a 'selfish b***h' and a crappy parent back to him anymore.
