AceShowbiz - Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade Scott said sometimes it's tough to listen to some of his songs. On the reason why, Hailie claimed she was often brought to tears by the emotional lyrics.
The 28-year-old made the confession on her "Just a Little Shady" podcast. She explained, "I can't even listen to ['Mockingbird'] anymore without crying."
"The older I get, the less I can listen to any of the songs," she continued. "But it is fun to see [old family] clips [in the videos], just not in that context."
While addressing Eminem's new song, "Somebody Save Me" Hailie said its music video was so rough. She said after watching it "in entirety" once, she's not sure if she "can do it again."
"I definitely cry every time I hear it at all," she said of the song and video, which feature Jelly Roll. "Between that and 'Temporary' ... I audibly sobbed I think for both songs but especially 'Temporary'."
Hailie then praised her parents for raising her well despite their past addictions. "But I will say, watching the video back, and listening to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job growing up where I didn't realize how bad things were," she reflected.
"But, now like, as an adult in hindsight, it's so scary to think about... And I think that's why I get emotional so much, like just thinking that could have happened," she further elaborated. "Obviously that's the point of the song, but if you've ever lost an addict or loved one, I feel for you."
"Somebody Save Me" and "Temporary" appear on Eminem's latest album, "The Death of Slim Shady". Released on July 12, the set debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and has generated over 700 million streams on Spotify alone.
