Benzino Shares His Shocking Take On Eminem Becoming A Grandfather

by

When we look back at the pantheon of rap beefs, few will likely rank as simultaneously absurd and heated as Eminem versus Benzino. We’re sure that you don’t need much of an update, but their reignited spat this year resulted in a tearful admission from the latter that he wants to end this feud with the Detroit legend. However, The Source‘s former co-owner still threw some shots after that vulnerable moment, so it’s a pendulum swing. This time around, fans wondered how he would react to the news that Marshall Mathers’ daughter Hailie Jade is pregnant, and we now have an answer.

“Somebody found out that they’re going to be a grandfather and the irony is…” Benzino’s Instagram Live remarks on began. “Even though he said, ‘Nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap,’ I still wanna send out a congratulations to Eminem and his daughter Hailie on the news that she is about to give birth and he’s about to be a grandad. I think this is a good time to put this behind us and let’s try to enjoy life and try to make some type of statement right now. I’m not doing this for no joke. I truly want to congratulate him and his daughter.

Benzino Reacts To Eminem Becoming A Grandfather

“I’m not one yet but I’m sure that day will come and I’ll be proud just like he is,” Benzino continued concerning Hailie Jade and Eminem’s news. “With all the craziness that’s going on, we need some peace, we need a statement so we can move forward. There it is. Congratulations to Eminem and Hailie, and let me know what the baby’s gonna be ’cause I definitely will send a gift for the baby shower, man. I’m sure you’ll make a great grandfather. Love, bro.”

“I believe I could face-to-face battle with him and I’m willing to do so,” Benzino previously said of Eminem – or at least, that’s what he expressed most recently back in April. “I’m willing to challenge him right here on TMZ. A face-to-face battle, three rounds, and I believe I could take him.” Whether or not that happens, he’s happy for the Mathers family.

Eminem’s Daughter Reveals Her Emotional Reaction To His New Musical Tributes

by

Eminem’s new album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) is an unsurprisingly irreverent and fiery project overall, but it also has some very tender and emotional moments. More specifically, the tracks “Temporary” featuring Skylar Grey and “Somebody Save Me,” featuring a Jelly Roll sample, tribute his family and his children. The Detroit legend’s daughter Hailie Jade recently revealed her tear-jerked reaction to these songs via her Just A Little Shady podcast. While some fans might have found these and other songs on this new album to be overkill or corny, that all becomes moot when compared to how it struck a chord with who it was really meant to reach.

“I watched it in entirety and I don’t think I can do it again,” Hailie Jade said of Eminem’s new music video for “Somebody Save Me.” “I definitely cry every time I hear it at all. Between that and ‘Temporary’… I mean, I can’t. I audibly sobbed, I think, for both songs, but especially ‘Temporary.’ Watching the [‘Somebody Save Me’] video back and listening to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job growing up where I didn’t realize how bad things were.

Hailie Jade’s comments on the Eminem songs begin around the 27-minute mark.

“I think that’s why I get emotional so much just thinking that that could have happened,” Hailie Jade expressed while choking up around Eminem’s dangerous addiction and his reflections on almost overdosing. “And obviously that’s the point of the song. But I will say, if you’ve ever lost an addict or loved one, I feel for you.” But things weren’t all sad. She also said it was “fun” to see herself and her family in old footage in the “Somebody Save Me” visual.

Meanwhile, Hailie Jade admitted that she still has a hard time getting through Eminem’s 2004 classic “Mockingbird” without crying. “The older I get, the less I can listen to any of the songs,” she shared. “I’ve done enough crying and I told myself I refuse.” Sometimes, music is for a very particular person, and even those outside of this dynamic can understand the weight of the situation.
