Hailie Jade Engagement: Fiancé Recalls Asking For Eminem’s Blessing
For practically as long as Eminem has been famous, the world has heard all about his daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers Scott. The 27-year-old inspired several of her lyricist father’s early hits, and even provided the hook to his fan favourite “My Dad’s Gone Crazy.” Over the decades, many have been following along with her life via social media, as if she’s a personal childhood friend of their own.
Earlier this year, Scott revealed that she’s reached yet another major life milestone – becoming a fiancée. After her long-time boyfriend Evan McClintock surprised her with a proposal after six years together, she happily accepted. Of course, before he got down on one knee, a blessing had to be given by Slim Shady himself.
Evan Earns Eminem’s Approval
On this Friday’s (February 26) episode of the Just a Little Shady podcast, the Detroit-born entertainer invited McClintock to join her. They answered some of listener’s most burning questions, including how they first met and what it took for Evan to get his future father-in-law’s approval. He asked the “Mockingbird” rapper the big question on Christmas Day, which also happens to be Hailie’s birthday, knowing that he may not have another opportunity to speak with Eminem.
“I saw your dad go downstairs, and I’m like, ‘I gotta do it right now, or I’m not doing it today, and I’m gonna have to schedule another time,’” he explained to his fiancée. “So I just followed him downstairs, and, thankfully, he was just down there getting your cake and I made it happen.” McClintock makes it sound as though the ask was easy, but he notes that finding the perfect ring for Scott was the real challenge.
Just a Little Shady
As it turns out, Eminem’s other daughter, Alaina Marie Scott, came to the rescue with some tips for her future brother-in-law. “She basically told me what for sure not to get,” he laughed on the podcast. “That’s all I told her, so it makes sense,” Hailie responded.
Since launching Just a Little Shady last summer, the recently engaged star has consistently been releasing episodes. Early episodes saw her recalling her time in college, answering questions from fans, and telling ghost stories. More recently, she’s discussed growing up with her Uncle Nate, Miley Cyrus’ latest single, and her own music career. Check out Hailie and Evan’s full conversation above, and come back later for more pop culture news updates.

A Houston Meteorologist Dropped A Slew Of Eminem Bars In His Weather Reports
While rap fans are no strangers to their favorite artists’ lyrics finding their way onto various newscasts — hello, Ari Melber — a new contender has appeared to quote a rap fave during the news.
Adam Krueger, the chief meteorologist at CW39 Houston, snuck an Eminem bar or two into one of his recent reports after being challenged to do so by fans on TikTok. “One last dry day, but guess who’s back, back again? Rain is back, tell a friend,” he said in one, referencing the Detroit rap star’s 2002 hit “Without Me.” He also threw in a line from “The Real Slim Shady,” saying, “You’re probably thinking, ‘Oh wait, no wait – you’re kidding. He didn’t just say what I think he did, did he?’”

Meanwhile, Eminem has popped up in all kinds of random places lately, although he’s still as reclusive as ever. David Guetta used AI to add an “Eminem” verse to a song, while Jonah Hill name-dropped the rapper among his top five in a deleted scene from You People.

Jonah Hill Chooses His Top Five Rappers In A Deleted ‘You People’ Scene And Gets Flak For His Eminem Pick
Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy team up for You People, but in a scene that didn’t make the film’s final cut, more legends find their way into the movie. Specifically, a number of hip-hop icons, when Hill’s character makes his pick for the top five rappers ever and gets roasted for including Eminem.
In the clip, Ezra (Hill’s character) and Mo (played by Sam Jay) are hosting an episode of their The Mo & E-Z Show podcast when the topic of their top five rappers comes up. Ezra makes his picks: “1. Jay-Z, 2. Biggie, 3. 2Pac, 4. Nas, and 5. Eminem.”

Mo responds, “That’s in order? — Eminem though?” Ezra replies, “Why do I have to keep defending Shady? I mean, his sole purpose is to be on other people’s tracks and murder them. I mean, ‘Renegade?’ ‘Dead Wrong,’” he says in reference to tracks by Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G.
Mo then says, “Dog, he’s like, I don’t know the Larry Bird of rap, you know what I mean? He’s not great: He’s just great because he’s a white man in a Black man’s game.” Ezra retorts, “That is so stupid. That might be the dumbest sh*t you’ve ever said to me.”
Check out the clip above.
Jonah Hill Lists Top 5 Rappers In Unused Scene From “You People”
You People has been one of the most talked about movies to come out so far this year. The movie stars Jonah Hill, Lauren London, Eddie Murphy, Nia Long and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. In the movie, Hill’s character and London’s character get married. But, they must deal with the real-life consequences of putting together an interracial marriage. Because of this, a bit of controversy has emerged since the film’s release on Jan. 27. Critics have questioned the amount of chemistry Hill and Lauren’s characters display on screen. These conversations are fueled by the rumor that their kiss at the end of the movie was actually CGI-manufactured instead of legitimate.
Nevertheless, the movie’s earnings have been terrific, and continued coverage surrounding it has led to more discoveries. In a recently surfaced bonus clip from the movie, Hill’s character Ezra hosts a show on Complex, alongside his friend Mo portrayed by Sam Jay. In the clip, the duo discusses their top 5 rappers ever, and Mo questions Ezra’s group of favorite MCs.
Jonah Hill’s Top 5
For his “deal or alive” top 5, Ezra names Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Nas and Eminem, in that order. When asked to elaborate on his Eminem choice by Mo, Ezra does not back down. “Why do I have to keep defending Shady? I mean, his sole purpose is to be on other people’s tracks and murder them. I mean, ‘Renegade’? ‘Dead Wrong’?” To which Mo rebuttals, calling him the Larry Bird of Rap. “He’s not great. He’s just great because he’s a white man in a black man’s game,” she says. Ezra fires back, “That is so stupid. That might be the dumbest sh*t you’ve ever said to me.”
It’s not clear whether or not this is Ezra’s opinion or Jonah’s, though. Jonah has a long history of rap fandom. As a matter of fact, he put out a top 5 favorite rappers list in 2018, but none of the MCs he mentioned back then are listed by Ezra. His list in 2015 included A Tribe Called Quest, Big L, Gang Starr, Mobb Deep and Kendrick Lamar. Additionally, Jonah has helped direct a few music videos for rappers. Videos for “Ain’t It Funny” by Danny Brown and “Wake Up” by Travis Scott were both aided by Hill’s directorial skills. Being the huge hip-hop fan he is, it is not surprising he would use his latest movie to rattle off some of his favorite rappers. But, it’s still uncertain whether or not the You People list is the one he abides by in his real life.
Fredro Starr Says Sticky Fingaz Deserves Spot On Top 50 Rappers List After He “Bodied” Eminem
Fredro Starr is among those who had criticism for Billboard and Vibe’s Top 50 Greatest rappers list. Over the past month, the two publications teamed up to drop a list of the best rappers who’ve ever graced the mic. Each week, they unveiled the list in 10-spot increments, eventually leading to the top 10. Many rappers took issue with the list, even those who landed on it. Ice Cube, for instance, disregarded Billboard’s opinion surrounding the genre because they “ain’t hip-hop.”
The top 10 included names like Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj while Jay-Z held the #1 position. Though many took issue with the rankings, it seems that Eminem’s inclusion ruffled a few feathers. Billboard declared Eminem at #5, a spot above the late Biggie Smalls. As you could imagine, plenty of rappers were left off of the list, including Onyx member Sticky Fingaz. Fredro Starr recently sat down with VladTV where he aired out Billboard for their rankings.
Fredro Starr Says Eminem Would’ve Had Sticky Fingaz On A Top 50 List
Fredro Starr not only took issue with Jadakiss’ position on the list but he felt as though Sticky Fingaz deserved a spot in the rankings. Though he said he’s “nicer” than many of those on the list, he expressed disappointment in Billboard for excluding Sticky. “C’mon son. Sticky would burn half them n***as. I would burn half them n***as but Stick is that dude,” he stated. He explained that even Eminem had praise for Sticky’s skillset as an MC before mentioning the Onyx MC’s verse on “Remember Me?” “I think he bodied Eminem on that particular record,” he said.
Starr added that Eminem fueled Sticky’s competitive spirit on that track for the Onyx rapper to deliver “one of the illest verses ever.” “You saying Eminem is one of the best rappers ever? The n***a rocking the Onyx shirt in that documentary? ‘Sticky one of my favorite rappers,’ he’s always saying that,” Starr said. So if he’s part of his favorite rappers, how he not on the 50 list? We should let Eminem write the 50 list.” Check out his comments above.
Logic Recalls Eminem Agreeing To “Homicide” Collab & Calling Him To Open Show
Eminem has helped inspire a generation of rappers looking to get an inch of his success, and Logic hasn’t minced words when praising the Detroit. There aren’t many artists who can boast about landing Eminem bars on a track. However, Logic did just that when he partnered with Marshall Mathers on “Homicide.” It was a collaboration that found much success, and Logic is sharing how it happened.
“I got called that he likes the song. He’s gonna do the song,” Logic told DJ Whoo Kid for his Whoo’s House podcast. “And a week later, I get a call that’s like, ‘Yo, Em wants you to go open up for him in Hawaii at a stadium. Oh, sh*t! So hyped! You don’t understand, bro. I used to put, ‘Forgot About Dre,’ I used to have my sister put that sh*t from a radio on a cassette. She would put it back and forth, so it would be all the way on Side A and all the way on Side B.”

Logic recalled what I was like going to open for a Rap goat. He said he ran into Royce Da 5’9″, who he called “the homie,” and The Alchemist was also there. “And then here comes f*ckin’ Eminem with a beard that’s new… And he was so f*cking cool, bro. He’s the biggest Rap nerd.” Em apparently pulled out a CD and plays Logic’s track to the DMV star’s surprise.
“I was like, is he gonna have a verse?!” Logic also said. “And he killed it! Me and him were like ‘this’ on the record.” Logic motioned his hands to show that they were even. “I didn’t get son’ed… It just felt like it was our record. It wasn’t anybody trying to one-up” anyone else.

Last year, during an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Logic spoke on being amazed that Eminem was familiar with him. “I didn’t even know Eminem knew who I was when I met him couple of years ago,” Logic shared at the time. “He shouted me out on a record. And I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing! And the next day, we are on a song together. He’s one of the illest dudes.”

David Guetta Uses A.I.-Generated Eminem Voice In New Song
David Guetta is now the latest proponent of an incredibly provocative trend that has been going around the music scene: artificial intelligence. Whether it be FN Meka, the A.I. rapper who inked a deal with Capitol Records and subsequently lost it due to cultural appropriation concerns, or Drayk.it, the website that allows people to use an A.I.-generated replica of Drake’s voice and make it sing any song they desire, A.I. has gained many fans and critics.
Most recently, the cover art for Lil Yachty’s latest studio album Let’s Start Here (Jan. 27) sparked conversation among listeners, considering he employed an A.I. generator to craft the whimsical album art. After a Twitter user brought attention to this decision, saying it “sucks so much,” Yachty succinctly replied “shut up,” emphasizing even more the line in the sand drawn between A.I. lovers and haters.
David Guetta Loves A.I.
obviously I won’t release this commercially
— David Guetta (@davidguetta) February 4, 2023
On Feb. 3, Guetta uploaded a video to Twitter of his recent concert, where he debuts a new track that features an appearance from an A.I.-generated Eminem voice. Before an epic beat drop, the Eminem voice repeats the phrase “This is the future rave sound. I’m getting awesome and underground.” After the clip of this performance, Guetta is seen explaining this decision and the process of making the Eminem replica, where he appears to be ecstatic about his newfound love for artificial intelligence.
“Eminem, bro! There’s something that I made as a joke, and it worked so good I could not believe it,” he said. “I discovered those websites about A.I. Basically, you can write lyrics in the style of any artist you like. So I write a verse in the style of Eminem about Future Rave. And I went to another A.I. website that can recreate the voice. I put the text in that and I played the record, and people went nuts!”
In the thread underneath Guetta’s Twitter post, he elaborates that he will not release the song for commercial use: “obviously I won’t release this commercially.” But, the main argument against A.I. from its dissenters is that it takes away the efforts of artists or uses them as reference points and does not credit them and compensate them financially. And even though Guetta does not plan to add this song to streaming platforms, he already used it in a concert setting that he got paid for.
