Eminem’s Mom, Debbie Nelson, Dies at 69
Eminem's mother, Debbie Nelson, whose turbulent relationship with her son was often documented in his rap songs, has died. She was 69.
In a 1999 Rolling Stone interview, Eminem spoke about fighting with his mother and accused her of stealing his paychecks and taking drugs, which Nelson denied. A lyric from Eminem’s 1999 hit “My Name Is” (“I just found out my mom does more dope than I do”) caused Nelson to file a $10 million defamation lawsuit against her son, which she won. Eminem’s relationship with his mother in recent years is unknown, though Nelson congratulated him on Twitter in 2022 for his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
