Nathan ‘Nate’ Kane Mathers, the musician Eminem’s younger half-brother, released a five-word statement after years of separation when their mother Debbie Nelson passed away.
Eminem representatives revealed that Debbie died this week at the age of 69 after being diagnosed with severe lung cancer.
The connection between Eminem, whose true name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, 52, and his younger half-brother has been tumultuous.
The rapper was born into poverty; his father, Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr., left the family when he was one and a half years old.
In the years that followed, Debbie started dating a guy called Fred Samara Jr. while he and his mother tried to make ends meet by working at many jobs to pay the bills.
Samara Jr. also departed the scene when Eminem’s younger half-brother Nathan, who his loved ones call “Nate,” was born when he was 14.
But when Debbie said she couldn’t take care of her kid, Nate, who was just eight years old, was put into foster care. He was formally adopted by his elder brother eight years later, at the age of sixteen.
The boys avoided their mother, and throughout his career, Eminem made references to their broken relationship in a number of his songs.
Nate, 38, reportedly responded to the news of his mother’s death making headlines yesterday night (3 December) by posting a five-word remark on his Instagram Story.
He remarked, “Hatred and mixed emotions today,” while displaying a black screen with a white text message.
The Grammy-winning artist Eminem has not yet made a public statement on his mother’s death. He claimed in his 2002 song “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” that his mother mistreated and neglected him for a significant amount of his early years.
Debbie decided to go to the media about her ties with her boys six years later, saying she’s “not ever gonna give up on” them.
She said to Village Voice in 2008, “I won’t give up on anybody.” “Everybody has hope. It essentially comes down to swallowing your pride.
It is comparable to a cashed cheque. “It’s finished and over. You must go forward. The lyrics of Eminem’s 2013 song “Headlights,” which read.
“I went in headfirst, never thinking about who what I said hurt / My mom probably got it the worst,” appeared to hint at the rapper’s desire to patch fences with his mother.
“I’m mad that I didn’t get the chance to thank you for being my mom and my dad,” he said in the song.
