Slim Shady is about to trade in his mic for a pacifier! That’s right—Eminem, the rap legend who brought you “Lose Yourself” and countless lyrical tongue-twisters, is about to start spitting bedtime stories. On Thursday (October 3), the 51-year-old rapper dropped the bombshell in the most Eminem way possible: through a music video, naturally. And yes, this one’s for his song “Temporary.”
Picture this: the video rolls, and instead of the usual beats and bars, we get a montage of Hailie Jade’s life. You know, the one we all collectively feel old about because, wait, wasn’t she just a baby like five minutes ago? The montage leads up to her very recent marriage to Evan McClintock, who clearly decided that “In-Laws: Level 100” was the ultimate achievement in life. But the real kicker? At the end of the video, Hailie’s like, “Surprise, Dad, I’m having a kid!”—you know, casual Thursday stuff.
In a heart-melting moment (or maybe a moment that made Eminem rethink his life choices), Hailie hands her dad a blue jersey with the word “Grandpa” emblazoned on it, as if to say, “Forget being a rap god, time to join the grandpa squad.” Oh, and just in case he missed the hint, she also handed him a sonogram, because who doesn’t love shocking your dad with a grainy, black-and-white baby pic? Eminem’s face? Absolutely priceless. It’s the same look he probably had when he first heard mumble rap.
Not one to be outdone by the music video, Hailie took to Instagram like any modern millennial mom-to-be, sharing professional, picture-perfect snaps of her and Evan, captioned “mom & dad est. 2025.” Cute, right? But we’re all just here thinking, “Is that baby gonna come out rapping faster than any of us can talk?”
So, huge congratulations to Hailie, Evan, and of course, Grandpa Marshall Mathers! We’re all eagerly awaiting to see if Eminem’s lullabies will rhyme—or if he’ll start dropping bars about diaper duty. Either way, we wish the growing Mathers-McClintock clan all the best on their journey from rap royalty to baby boot camp!
