Eminem appears to have removed controversial lyric from song in live performance after mum's death

Eminem appears to have removed controversial lyric from song in live performance after mum's death

Eminem's mum, Debbie Nelson, passed away last week from complications of lung cancer at the age of 69 and it appears that the rapper is already trying to signify his remorse.

If you know anything about Eminem, you'll know that his relationship with his mother was fraught.

In fact, the star has dissed Nelson in several songs over the years, including 2002's Without Me.

However, during a recent concert at Abu Dhabi's F1 Grand Prix, his performance of the song took out a line directed at his mother.

Whilst his fans continued to sing it, his decision to refrain said a lot about his intentions.

The line in question?

A simple 'F**k you, Debbie.'

To say that the two of them had a strained relationship over the years would be putting it mildly.

At one point, Nelson even sued him for defamation after he called her out in one of his songs.

When she won $10 million in compensation, their divide deepened.

The offending line was from Eminem's song My Name Is, in which he sang: "I just found out my mom does more dope than I do (Damn). I told her I'd grow up to be a famous rapper. Make a record about doin' drugs and name it after her."

In Cleanin' Out My Closet, he went even further with his disdain for her, saying he hoped she would 'burn in Hell'.

He also accused her of spiking his food with Valium as a child.

Reconciliation seemed to be possible after 2010, when Nelson was diagnosed with breast cancer.

He even released a song in 2013, in which he apologized to her.

Unfortunately, the truce didn't last long and the two were back to feuding within a decade.

It's not clear whether or not they made amends before her recent passing.

Nelson gave birth to Eminem, whose birth name was Marshall Mathers, when she was only 18 years old.

Due to her age, she struggled to keep a job.

This meant the family were constantly moving between Missouri and Michigan.

Nelson had repeatedly denied many of the accusations hurled at her by her famous son, including her alleged drug use.

At one point, she even tried her hand at musical messaging with the song 'Dear Marshall'.

In it, she sang: "Dear Marshall, I just wanted to start by saying I still love you.

"Marshall, I did the best I could. I went without so you could have."

However, it wasn't all sweetness and light, as she made reference to creating a 'spoilt and angry young man'.

It was a rocky relationship, but it has now come to an end.
