File this one under: "We're old."

Eminem, the prolificU.S. rapper known for hits like Lose Yourself,his former alter ego Slim Shadyand for being one of the most controversial yet best-selling artists of the early 2000s, has just revealed he'sgoing to be a grandpa.

(Cueeveryone who associated Eminem's music with their youth wading into the sea).

The rapper, 51, announced his daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, is pregnant in a new music video released Thursday for the song Temporary, which is a tribute to their relationship.The video features home videos dating back to 1999 and photos of the father-daughter duo, along with videos from her May wedding.

In one clip of a recent home video, his daughter hands Eminem a jersey with the name "Grandpa" emblazoned on the back with the number one. She also hands him ultrasound photos, and he opens his mouth but the words don't come out.

He's shocked, justlike the restof us.

"I'm not ready to be old enough for Eminem to be a grandpa," wrote a fan on X Thursday.

"The fact that Eminem is going to be a Grandpa is enough to make any millennial feel old," added another.

Even rapper 50 Cent had feelings on the matter, posting on Instagram Thursday that, "Man, the baby, is not a baby anymore."

"Man we f---ing getting old," he added.

Hailie confirms pregnancy

Eminem has always had a soft spot for his daughter, frequently mentioning her in his songs and even writing full tributes to her like Hailie's Songand Mockingbird.

OnThursday, HailieJade, a social mediainfluencer, confirmed the news in an Instagram postshowing an ultrasound photo.

"Mom & dad est. 2025," she captioned it.

Hailie Jade is Eminem's sole biological daughter, whom he had with his ex-wife Kim Scott. He also adopted two of Scott's daughters from previous relationships.

Hip-hop artists D-Sisive and Ian Kamau, along with music critic Maura Johnston, join Elamin to discuss the pop and rap legacy of Eminem, and the controversial cultural debates the Detroit emcee has sparked over the decades.

"I think Eminem, when he was younger, was really making music for teenage boys," said hip hop artist Ian Kamau. "At the beginning it was fun, but now I'm 44 too, and I was 19 when I first heard him."

"It's one of those records that because it is this kind of man-versus-himself tale, it's very messy. It's very dexterous," said Boston-based music criticMaura Johnston.
