Fans were not ready for this

Eminem has got his fans ‘crying like a baby’ after the rapper addressed his death in a new song written for his daughter Hailie Jade.

The rapper dropped his eagerly anticipated studio album on Friday (12 July) and hip-hop enthusiasts have since been dissecting the 19-track project.

Titled ‘The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)’, the record promised to kill off his alter ego Slim Shady once and for all.

We were first introduced to Slim back on monster hit ‘My Name Is’ in 1999 and ‘The Real Slim Shady’ a year later.

As you are probably aware, the provocative character rocked a bleached blonde haircut and a ‘idgaf’ attitude.

And throughout the new album, nobody is safe as Eminem takes shots at P Diddy and even his own kids.

While most of the project features a rejuvenated Slim Shady, in one track, Eminem issued a heartbreaking admission to his daughter in the event of his death.

On ‘Temporary’, the father-of-three attempts to put Hailie at ease, telling her that life is going to be difficult but ok after he dies.

At the beginning of the track, we hear an old recording of a conversation between a young Eminem and Hailie, when she was a kid.

The intro between the two goes: “A lot of people ask me, am I afraid of death? The truth is, I think what scares the me most is not being able to say all the things.

“I wanna say to you when I’m no longer here. So this song is for Hailie, for when that day comes

“Where is Hailie? Where is she at? This ain’t Hailie. Who is it?

“It’s a monster.”

He raps: “Look after Eleana, Stevie and Uncle Nate / And, sweetie, be strong; I know I was your rock, and I still am / Saying goodbye is just not ever easy / Why you crying? Just stop / Hailie, baby, dry your eyes, this is not forever.”

Fans have since taken to social media, saying that the ‘track should have came with a warning’.

“Crying to Eminem’s new album was not something I thought I’d do today but holy f**k. Was vibing to the music until ‘Temporary’ came on and I just started crying holy f**k. Such a beautiful song,” one person commented.

“Eminem’s track ‘Temporary’ is actually a tear jerker man,” penned a second.

As a third wrote: “Why did you do this, Eminem? You got me crying like a baby. ‘Temporary’ is so beautiful…”

The rapper shares three children with his ex-wife, Kim Scott: Hailie Jade Scott, Alaina Scott and Stevie Laine Scott.

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old recently got married to her partner Evan McClintock, as her dad, 51, wore a tuxedo, dark glasses and Nike Air Jordans for the nuptials.

He also shared a touching moment with Hailie on the day.
