You may have seen him performing live or on social networks but not know more about him. This article gives details about Eminem’s early life, spouse, age, height, and awards. Let’s start. 

The Early Life of Eminem

Eminem was born on October 17, 1972, at a place called Saint Joseph in Missouri. His parents were called Deborah Nelson and Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. He was solely brought up by the mom as the father abandoned him while still young. He has two brothers and a sister from his mom, namely Sarah, Nathan, and Michael.

They kept moving from town to town because his mother lacked a permanent job. As a result, Eminem was forced to attend more than two schools in a year, which affected his education. His lifestyle consequently made him a loner because he had no friends.  

 The rapper schooled his 9th grade at Lincoln High School and failed several times thus, dropping out. He faced rejection from his fellow black artists, which made him grow up in anger- seen in what’s depicted in most of his songs. For instance, at age nine, he was beaten up by Bailey until he entered a coma for a week while nursing a brain hemorrhage. After that, the mom filed a case against the school, but it was dismissed. Bailey has been featured in Eminem’s song titled Brain Damage. 

There’s a time when Eminem alleged to be dating Mariah Carey. Nevertheless, the pop artist denied the claim, which resulted in a musical fight between them. Since high school, his true love and girlfriend was called Kimberly Anne Scott. He wrote several intimate songs exclusively to her, most of which reflect hate and passion. Their dating relationship plus marriage has been on and off for long. They got married twice but, their love was too passionate to last.

Eminem has a daughter with Kimberly called, Hailie Jade. On the other hand, Kimberly has two daughters, namely Whitney Scott Matters and Alaina Marie Mathers, who got adopted by Eminem. As it’s evident in her songs, Kimberly has frankly accepted that she cheated on Eminem.

Eminem has significant growth seen in the past few years through his songs. Earlier, his songs mainly criticized his mom, gays, and other social looks. Presently, he has done songs that apologetically express and show his regrets.

Something interesting about Eminem is, he writes better lyrics as likened to many other people in the rap community. He possesses knowledge in expressions and their rhythm. Expect Eminem to rap on anything anytime. Again, he’s left-handed. Could this be the reason why he’s successful? Like the former US president Barrack Obama, it’s said that left-handed people are successful, and Eminem isn’t an exception.
