Debbie Nelson, the mother of Eminem, has reportedly passed away at the age of 69 following a battle with lung cancer.
According to TMZ, she passed away on Monday, December 2, after battling advanced lung cancer.
Her illness became public in September when several outlets reported on her condition. Debbie and Eminem’s relationship was famously complex, often chronicled in his music, though it’s believed they reconnected in recent years.
Tragically, Debbie did not live to see her great-grandchild, as Eminem’s daughter, Hailie, is currently expecting her first baby. Thoughts of all the fans are now with Eminem and his family during this difficult time.
