Hailie Jade is more than just Eminem’s daughter

Hailie Jade has spoken out about what bothers her most about being Eminem’s daughter, and it turns out that it’s being asked about being Eminem’s daughter.

The 28-year-old has for basically her entire life had a famous rapper for a father, but she’s got a life of her own.

Speaking on her Just a Little Shady podcast, she explained that the question most people wanted to ask was: “Does it bother me when I get asked about my dad?”

She said: “The best way to say this is yes and no.

“It’s to a point. I obviously expect it and there are certain things I can understand why people are just genuinely curious about as anyone would be when you’ve grown up half in the spotlight.

“Once it gets past that point though I’m like ‘I’m a person too, I think I have more to offer than just my dad’. So it becomes tricky, I get it.

“I feel like growing up when it would happen I would get more bothered by it because I was like ‘why do people care’.

“I was young and didn’t totally understand the situation. I’m just like ‘that’s my dad, I don’t ask you about your dad’.”

Hailie explained that she could understand why people would ask about ‘things that have been a little bit shared’, but said there were certain things she’d been asked were she found it weird someone would want to know that.

The 28-year-old said that looking back on her life, there were times when she thought ‘oh, everybody else does this too’ but later realised that some parts of it were ‘freaking weird, looking back on it’.

Hailie also gets mentioned plenty in her father’s new album, The Death of Slim Shady.

She’s been included in his music a lot, including the diss track ‘Hailie’s Revenge’ where he fired back at some of Ja Rule’s lyrics.

In his latest album, his song ‘Temporary’ addresses her and lets her know it’ll be okay when he dies, and it’s put a tear in many an Eminem fan’s eye.

In another track, ‘Somebody Save Me’, the rapper addresses Hailie and his family from an alternate reality where he’d died of an overdose that came very close to killing him in 2007.

He’s also evidently not afraid to poke lyrical fun at his own kids from time to time either, as the song ‘Houdini’ has him singing ‘f**k my own kids, they’re brats’.
