The pair did not have a particularly stable relationship

Eminem’s younger half-brother Nathan ‘Nate’ Mathers has shared a raw and unforgiving reaction to his mother Debbie Nelson’s death.

he rapper – real name Marshal Mathers – is yet to comment publicly about his mother’s death, however his younger half-brother Nate hasn’t held back when it comes to sharing his opinion.

Taking to Instagram stories, the 38-year-old shared a brief statement following the news of his mother’s death, writing: “Hatred and mixed emotions today.”

What was Debbie Nelson’s relationship with Eminem and his younger brother like?

Fans of the rapper will be more than aware that Eminem and Nate didn’t have the most stable of relationships with their mother.

Several of Eminem’s tracks feature brutal digs towards his childhood and parents, with one diss track aimed towards Debbie now considered so scathing that the rapper refuses to perform it live at shows.

When it comes to the relationship between Debbie and Nate things appear to be even more complicated, as he was ultimately placed in foster care at the age of eight.

Nate’s father Fred Samra was also said to not be around during his childhood.

Eminem, who was 23 at the time, attempted to gain custody but was unable to and vowed to try again if he ever had the means to do so.

“When he was taken away I always said if I ever get in a position to take him, I would take him,” the rapper said in a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone.

“Man, if I get in position, I’m gonna stop all this s***.’ And I got in position and did”

He would later gain custody of his Nate when he was 16 years old and has since been a positive role model to his younger brother.

Nate spoke about his relationship with his older brother in an episode of his niece Hailie Jade’s podcast Just a Little Shady, praising the rapper for the positive influence he had in his life.

“He was the best role model I could have had to help me be the dad that I am today,” he said of their relationship.

Eminem hated one song written about his mum so much he no longer performs it at shows Published 09:07 4 Dec 2024 GMT Eminem hated one song written about his mum so much he no longer performs it at shows Eminem’s mum Debbie passed away this week from cancer Brenna Cooper Brenna Cooper Here is the reason why Eminem refuses to perform one of his old songs which features particularly scathing lyrics about his late mother Debbie Nelson. Last night (3 December) it was announced the rapper’s mother had passed away at the age of 69 due to complications of lung cancer on Monday, according to TMZ. A representative for Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers – later confirmed the reports to PEOPLE. Mathers is yet to issue a statement regarding his mum’s death, however his younger brother Nathan ‘Nate’ Mathers shared a candid reaction on his Instagram story, writing: “Hatred and mixed emotions today.” The 38-year-old is known to have had a difficult relationship with his mother, with Eminem eventually taking custody of his younger half-sibling.

Long-term fans of the rapper will be more than aware of the fact that Eminem had quite a tumultuous relationship with his mother, with the 52-year-old often sharing bitter reflections in regards to his poverty-stricken childhood. However there is one song which is specifically targeted towards Debbie, which the rapper now appears to regret creating. Take a listen below, but note that the track contains some very strong language: Play Released back in 2002, diss track ‘Cleanin’ Out My Closet’ paints a pretty dire picture of Eminem’s home life, including allegations of abuse and drug taking. For those unaware with the brutal lyrics, he refers to Debbie as a ‘selfish b***h’ and says that he hopes she will ‘burn in hell’. Other lines see Mathers accuse his mother of ‘poppin prescription pills in the kitchen’, him being a ‘victim of Münchausen’s Syndrome’ and saying she will never see his daughter Hailie Jade. Debbie filed a lawsuit against the rapper accusing him of slander and deformation. She originally sued for $10 million (£7.7m) but eventually settled for $25,000 (£19.4k) in 2001. However the rapper has since had a major change of heart over the song, later releasing an apology track titled ‘Headlights’ on his 2013 album The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
