Eminem is a famous and iconic rapper who drops tracks that have serious subject matter. He is also known for dissing other artists, as well as celebrities and politicians. However, there is a soft side to Eminem and it shows when he talks about his only biological daughter, Hailie Jade Scott Mathers. Hailie was born on Christmas Day in 1995 and she became the light of Eminem's life. She gave him something to live for when he was going through hardships before achieving fame and fortune.
Hailie has been the subject of numerous Eminem songs, from "Mockingbird" to "Hailie's Song," Eminem's love for his daughter is limitless. He's not shy about letting the world know how blessed he feels because he is her father. Hailie has quite the social media presence, but what else is there to know about the daughter of the 'Rap God' himself?
Here are 15 lesser known facts about Eminem's daughter, Hailie.
15 Adores Pop Stars Her Father Dissed
Eminem may have dissed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, but he can't help but be amused by how much Hailie enjoys their music. In a VH1 interview, he discussed how Britney Spears had a big influence on her when she was only five years old! However, Hailie grew up to be her own person, rather than a Britney wannabe.
14 Volleyball Star In High School
Hailie was socially active in school. She was a star student, and she excelled academically (she had a 4.0 GPA). She was also part of her school's volleyball team.
What's also interesting is that she went by her mother's maiden name during school, mostly to be anonymous due to her father's fame.
13 Attended Michigan State University
After graduating with honors from Chippewa Valley High School, she went to Michigan State University for post-secondary education. She majored in psychology and got her degree in 2018. She was one of the top students in her university class and we know that Eminem couldn't be more proud of his daughter.
12 Captivating Social Media Starlet
Her status as the daughter of Eminem makes many social users curious about her. Hailie's Instagram has two million followers.
She is active on Insta and aspires to be a social media influencer. She's a great role model, as she's risen up from hardship, including her not-so-easy upbringing.
11 Has A Guinness World Record
Eminem brought Hailie to the recording studio all the time when she was young, and she even got a chance to be a part of one of his songs, "My Dad's Gone Crazy." Thanks to this, she obtained a Guinness World Record for being the youngest person credited on the R&B charts.
10 Beautiful Homecoming Queen
With Hailie's beauty and likability, who wouldn't vote for her as homecoming queen? In 2013, she won that temporary (but highly memorable) title at her high school.
Eminem and former girlfriend, Kim, who is Hailie's mom, were both there for their daughter on her special night. It was definitely a blissful moment for Hailie and her parents.
9 No Swearing Allowed
Eminem is known for blasting out inappropriate language on the music charts, so it would not be a surprise if Hailie were to grow up swearing a blue streak. However, Hailie, her half-sister Whitney, and her adopted sister, Alaina, were not allowed to swear.
8 Some Tried To Pose As Her
There are many sad people who try to impersonate famous people for their own selfish gain. A Twitter user who used to go by @Angry_Blonde tried to pose as Hailie, but Eminem's representative confirmed that Hailie does not have a Twitter account.
7 Went To Record Instead Of Chuck E. Cheese's
Eminem is definitely a loving father, but he can be mischievous at times. He told Kim that he was going to take young Hailie to Chuck E. Cheese's, but instead took her to record the song, "97 Bonnie and Clyde." So, you can imagine Kim's reaction when she found out about this.
6 Her Father's Inspiration
Eminem's greatest accomplishment might seem to be music, but that is actually far from the truth. One of the greatest things a man can be, regardless of career, is a father. Considering that more than 20 of his songs were influenced by Hailie, it is evident that she is a very important part of his life.
5 Owner Of Adorable Dogs
Social media influencers like Hailie love showing off adorable furry friends. She has two Shiba Inus named Lottie and Wolf and these dogs are very adorable and loving. They were chosen by her because of their cuteness - they are great companions who live with her in her apartment.
4 Her Special Beau
Hailie currently has a handsome (and lucky) boyfriend named Evan McClintock, and they met while attending Michigan State University. The great thing is that Eminem actually approves of Evan. This fact must make Hailie's life a lot easier. It looks like Hailie picked a great guy that she was proud to introduce to her dad!
It is implied that they are engaged, based on photos Hailie posted on Instagram. If that's the case, then these two will be a gorgeous bride and groom.
3 That One Special Song About Her
There are many, and we mean, many songs that reference Hailie, but there is one specific and recent song that Eminem dedicated to her. The song in question is "Castle" and the lyrics, according to Genius, share Eminem's fears about being able to support Hailie shortly before she was born, as well as his concerns about how she would be affected by his fame. To his and our relief, she grew up to be selfless, kind, and influential.
2 Participating In Many Activities
As stated earlier, Hailie was very active in her high school. She was a part of the art club, student council, and key club. Great marks and extracurricular activities made her a really well-rounded student. Looks like Eminem and Kim did something right when it came to bringing up their daughter!
1 Rose Above Tough Times
Given the circumstances that Eminem was dealing with before Hailie's birth, he did his best to make sure that she would have a good life. She was raised in poverty, but would eventually live a very different lifestyle once her father became famous. Along with having a great relationship with her parents, she turned out to be an incredible woman.
