Eminem has been open about his complicated relationship with his mother, Debbie Nelson, in his music and public statements. Following her death at 69 due to lung cancer complications, Nate Mathers, Eminem’s half-brother, was the first to publicly react. In a five-word statement on Instagram, Nate expressed “mixed emotions” after her passing.
The brothers’ relationship has been strained for years, with Eminem getting more attention in their family drama. However, they have also shared moments of connection, such as when Eminem adopted Nate at 16 and Nate became a music producer and DJ. In recent posts, Nate showed support from artists like Usher and Flavor Flav.
Eminem himself has not commented on his mother’s death or brother’s statement yet. It is unclear if he will respond publicly to Nate’s reaction. The news of Debbie Nelson’s passing comes after she was diagnosed with terminal illness in September.
