Eminem’s mom, Debbie Nelson, dead at 69
Debbie Nelson, the mother of rapper Eminem, has died. She was 69.
A representative for the rapper confirmed the death to multiple publications, including Variety and People, saying she died from complications of lung cancer.
Nelson and her son were known for their turbulent relationship over the years. While she was the subject of one of her son’s most famous song lyrics — “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy / There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti” from 2002’s Lose Yourself — plenty of his lyrics directed at his mother weren’t quite so innocuous.
In fact, at one point, Nelson sued her famous son, reports Variety, winning US$10 million after arguing she had been defamed in the 1999 hit My Name Is (“I just found out my mom does more dope than I do,” Eminem rapped.)
