In the music video, Eminem issued a heartbreaking message to his daughter in the event of his death
Eminem has often talked about how he regrets not being there for his daughter Hailie Jade Scott while she was growing up.
The 51-year-old rapper had a tough time with drug addiction and wasn’t really in a good place to take care of her.
Since getting sober in 2008, he has really worked hard to create a strong and healthy bond with Hailie, who is now 28 years old.
In the latest music video for ‘Temporary’, fans were really emotional after Eminem shared a touching message for his daughter, just in case something happens to him.
The track is from his latest album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), which was first released in July.
In the beginning of the song, Eminem shows a video of a conversation between a dad and his daughter from when they were kids.
Many people wonder if I’m scared of dying. Honestly, what really frightens me is the thought of not being able to share everything I want to say to you when I’m gone, he starts.
“So this song is for Hailie, for when that day comes.”

Eminem then asks: “Where is Hailie? Where is she at?”
“This ain’t Hailie,” she says, before her dad asks: “Who is it?”
“It’s a monster,” the girl replies while.
The music video features alternating clips of a young Hailie as she grows up, all the way to her wedding day that happened earlier this year.
She got married to her long-term partner Evan McClintock.
The video captures the special moments between a father and his daughter as they share heartfelt embraces on her wedding day.
All while, Eminem raps: “Yeah, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song to help you cope with life now that I’m gone.
How do I begin? I just want to say, take care of Alaina, Stevie, and Uncle Nate. And remember, be strong, because I know I was always there for you.
“And I still am, saying goodbye is just not ever easy. But why you crying? Just stop Hailie, baby, dry your eye, this is not forever.”
The legendary rapper had Hailie with his ex-wife Kim Scott, who gave birth to Stevie Laine Scott, 22, with her then-boyfriend, Eric Hartter.
In the early 2000s, Eminem took in Alaina Marie, who is now 31 years old. She was adopted from Kim’s sister, Dawn Scott, who sadly passed away in 2016 from what is believed to be an overdose.
He is now a loyal father to all three children.
When ‘Temporary’ first came out, fans said they were ‘crying like a baby’, as one person commented: “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.”
“Eminem’s track ‘Temporary’ is actually a tear jerker man,” penned a second.
And a third wrote: “Why did you do this, Eminem? You got me crying like a baby. ‘Temporary’ is so beautiful…”
