Eminem’s Sacrifice for Hailie: How the Rapper Put Fatherhood Above Fame and Touring
50 Cent said that Eminem was one of the people who propelled him to success. His debut album sold 13 million copies while Eminem’s Marshall Mathers album sold 23 million albums.
50 Cent said that despite Eminem’s record breaking albums’ sales, he toured sparingly because he didn’t want to miss Hailie’s formative years.
Hailie’s mother Kim wasn’t a regular person who could raise a child very well. She was always having drug problems while Hailie was growing up.
Eminem decided to put some aspect of his career on hold in order to give his daughter the life that he never had while growing up. Eminem could have easily sold out stadiums across the world like Taylor Swift is doing if he had gone on tour but he refused to miss his daughter growing up while he is on the road.
Eminem is almost like a recluse. He hardly grants interviews, attends award ceremonies or mingles with other rappers. He is always huddled up in Detroit.
Eminem’s sacrifice paid up because he raised Hailie very well. She is a graduate and doing well. She recently got married.
I will love to see Eminem go on tour and sell out stadiums and arenas now that Hailie is all grown and married.
The sacrifice of fathers are rarely talked about. Eminem is a good dad.
