The relationship between Eminem and his mother, Debbie Nelson, has always been complex and conflictual, strongly influencing the rapper’s musical career.
Debbie Nelson, now 69, was recently diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, a story that could potentially change the dynamic between her and her son.
Eminem has often expressed his anger at his mother in songs, including "Cleanin' Out My Closet", where he tackles accusations of emotional and physical abuse suffered during his childhood.
These words helped shape the public image of their difficult relationship, and Debbie Nelson has consistently denied these allegations.
She has published a book, "My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem," in which she recounts her version of the events and defends her position against her son’s criticism.
Despite the lack of reconciliation, Eminem continues to support his mother financially, showing a sense of responsibility and respect.
The severity of Debbie’s illness raises questions about the possibility of a rapprochement between them in these difficult times.
