Eminem‘s mother Debbie Mathers is reportedly terminally ill after being diagnosed with lung cancer.
According to a report from In Touch Weekly, Debbie, who famously has a troubled relationship with her son, does not have long left to live.
A source tells the publication: “There are not many options [for Debbie]. She is currently staying between the cancer center and with family members. She has a very limited amount of time [left].”
The report adds that while Eminem has been taking care of his 69-year-old mother financially for a number of years, the rap legend has not had contact with her for a long time.
“People around her aren’t even sure if Eminem is even aware of what is happening to his mother. He’s good to his mom. He makes sure he takes care of her, but they don’t really talk,” the source says.
“It would be good for both of them [to communicate]. This could give them the chance to reconcile.”
Debbie was previously diagnosed with breast cancer, telling The Village Voice in 2018: “I’m still under doctor’s care, which I probably will be for a while. Basically a lot of the stuff is hereditary, but that happens. Cancers and heart disease and all that, and all the genetic things … I worry about my boys, having high blood pressure and things.”
The two have had a publicly complicated relationship for years, with Eminem making his mother a subject in many of his songs.
Debbie would later sue her son for insinuating that she took drugs, attempting to win $11 million in damages though she was only awarded $25,000.
After Eminem was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, Debbie paid tribute to her son.
“Marshall, I want to say, I could not let this day go by without congratulating you on your induction into the Hall of Fame,” she said. “I love you very much. I knew you’d get there. It’s been a long ride. I’m very, very proud of you.
“And also I’m very proud of Hailie Jade, my big girl. I want to tell you Hailie, great job on your podcast and God bless you guys. I love you very much.”
69? She was really young when she had Shady.
She was probably 18. You making sound like she was 14
Yeah Em is like 60 i think 🤔
Or you could take 2 seconds to google it dumbass
@Wurt 69 minus 51 equals 18. It’s not difficult to understand.. You took the little bus to school, huh?
18 is young tho. Most 18 year olds live with parents and don’t earn enough for a decent living. So its the same shit.
She was 14 you fuckin idiot.
This is eminems fault. Doctors have found that being depressed, angry, upset, etc are terrible for your immune systems ability to fight off diseases. Eminem caused all this grief, when in reality, he was raised as a little rich kid in a gated community. Look it up. His whole story is 100% fake. Dr dre wrote it for him.
Even if all of that is true, who the fuck cares? Lying about your life worked fine for drake, cause his fans don’t give a single fuck.
What a judgemental and self-righteous asshole you are. To solely put all the blame on her son because they had a fractured relationship shows just how heartless and stupid you are. Now if someone has a terminal illness but gets along GREAT with family, friends , coworkers etc. then who and/or what is to blame? I guarantee you would be the last person anyone would go to for comfort. Here’ s an idea- why don’t YOU drop dead. I’ll take the blame.
@older and wilder, woah, you want someone to die because they said something mean about Eminem? Yall take Em dick riding to a whole other level!
@D rider it’s not dick riding dickhead. It was showing that asshole what an asshole he is for blaming someone for someone else’s misfortune. And too many of you overuse the term ” dick riding”. Seriously.
To be able to say such messed up things about his family life and mother literally proved how broken his childhood was
He had no motive to damage her reputation for nothing, why would he? He’s said crazy shit but he won’t say this with no motive. Besides, his mom is literally nearly 70 and you talk about depression to her immune system? it’s called old age
Imagine being such an Eminem hater that you have to diss him on such a sad and sensitive topic
That’s tough news. May Debbie and Marshall enjoy and appreciate their remaining time together.
