Eminem recalls crying after missing daughter's guitar recital in 2007 due to drug overdose in his new documentary Stans
Popular American rapper Eminem is revisiting one of the darkest periods of his life in his recently documentary Stans. The rapper, known for hits like Mockingbird and Without Me, gets personal about his struggle with addiction, the overdose that nearly ended his life in 2007, and the emotional moments that finally pushed him to seek help. Eminem saw the video of his daughter's first recital 'I got into this vicious cycle of, 'I'm depressed so I need more pills,' and then your tolerance gets so high that you end up overdosing,' he recalled in the film. Reflecting on the aftermath, he says, 'I woke up in the hospital and I didn't know what the f**k happened. It seemed like I fell asleep, and I woke up with tubes in me and s**t. I wanted to get up. I couldn't move.' Once back home, he found himself slipping again. 'After the overdose, I came home going, 'Yo, bro, I need something.'' He explains that he reached a terrifying conclusion: 'I felt like I was going to die if I don't do something.' But the moment that truly broke him came when he missed an important event in his daughter Hailie Jade's life. 'I had this video that they brought me because I missed Hailie's first guitar recital,' he says. 'The amount of guilt that I felt, I cried when I saw it because I was like, 'Oh my God, I missed that.'' That regret led to a powerful reckoning, 'Do you want to miss everything? If you can't do it for yourself... then at least do it for them,' Eminem says in the documentary. Eminem has been sober since April 2008, and he chronicled the beginning of that journey in his 2009 album Relapse. In April this year, he marked 16 years of sobriety with a celebratory Instagram post showing his recovery chip.

Eminem Details Past Overdose, Addiction Struggles in New Documentary
Originally appeared on E! Online Eminem's ability to lose himself in his addiction prompted a major change. In his new documentary Stans, the 'Mockingbird' rapper reflected on his past habit of abusing prescription pills—including Vicodin, Valium, Ambien and Xanax—starting in the late '90s until around 2008, resulting in a dangerous health scare. 'I got into this vicious cycle of, 'I'm depressed so I need more pills,'' Eminem said in the doc, per Us Weekly. 'Then your tolerance gets so high that you end up overdosing. I woke up in the hospital and I didn't know what happened. I woke up in the hospital with tubes in me and s--t and I couldn't get up, I wanted to move.' The 52-year-old (real name Marshall Mathers) noted that when returned home, he felt like he 'needed something' and that he was 'gonna die' if he didn't make a change. Beyond the health scare, he was compelled to fight back against his addiction after missing the birthday party of his and ex Kim Scott's daughter Hailie Jade, now 29. More from E!

'I kept saying to myself, 'Do you want to f--king miss this again? Do you want to miss everything? If you can't do it for yourself, you f--king p---y, at least do it for them.'' As a result, he recalled, 'I realized I'm never doing this again.' While the 'Lose Yourself' rapper has now been sober for 17 years, he explained that at the beginning of his journey he needed to 'relearn how to walk, talk and for the most part had to relearn how to rap again.' 'My writing had gotten terrible,' he said in the doc. 'When I started to get it back, it was exciting. Because I felt it. It would be conversations, just having conversations with people or the TV.' Eminem—also dad to Alaina, 32, and Stevie, 32, with Kim—added, 'It was hitting me really fast and I was writing songs really quickly.' And while working on his 2009 album Relapse, which detailed his experience with sobriety, he felt empowered by his ability to leave his addiction behind. 'It did something. It turned the light on,' Eminem explained. 'I realized I'm not embarrassed anymore about [sobriety]. I started treating sobriety like a superpower and I took pride in the fact that I was able to quit.' Read on for more stars who have gotten candid about their struggles with addiction.

Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade reveals his secret 'struggle'
Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade McClintock, revealed that her father privately struggled with raising his children in the spotlight. Just two months after welcoming her first child, a baby boy named Elliot Marshall McClintock, with husband Evan McClintock, the influencer, 29, opened up about relating to her dad more than ever. 'Having been in the spotlight for so long, I've learned the importance of balancing what I share publicly with what I keep private,' the Just a Little Shady podcast host told People. She continued: 'Over time, I've come to understand the struggle my father faced — wanting to protect our privacy while also feeling proud and wanting to celebrate his kids.' As a parent herself now, the Michigan State College graduate explained she has mixed feelings about exposing her child to fame. 'I feel the same way now,' Hailie said. 'I want to share the proud, joyful moments that mean a lot to me, especially as a parent, but I'm also intentional about keeping certain parts of our lives just for us.' For now, she's working on 'about finding that balance between openness and privacy' and her career as a content creator. 'That balance has become even more important to me as I navigate parenthood,' she stressed. Hailie is one of three of Eminem's adult children, who he shares with ex-wife, Kim Scott. The former couple also share Alaina Marie Scott, 32, and Stevie Laine Scott, 23. On March 14, 2025, Hailie welcomed her little boy, a year after walking down the aisle. Hailie announced she was expecting in her dad's music video for Temporary (feat. Skylar Grey), which included footage of him walking her down the aisle and the moment she told him of his pregnancy. Toward the end of the video, Hailie could be seen gifting her father a Detroit Lions jersey, which had 'Grandpa' written across the back as well as an ultrasound picture of her baby-to-be. As he processed the news, the 15-time Grammy winner looked shocked as he did a double take of the ultrasound image as Hailie giggled by his side. 'Having been in the spotlight for so long, I've learned the importance of balancing what I share publicly with what I keep private,' the Just a Little Shady podcast host told People The exciting update came just five months after Scott and McClintock tied the knot in Battle Creek, Michigan. They invited close friends and family to watch them exchange vows in a 'modestly sized' ceremony held at the Greencrest Manor, according to TMZ. For her big day, Hailie wore a gorgeous white wedding dress complete with romantic tulle skirt with sheer veil topping off her elegant hairstyle. Hailie and Evans have been dating since 2016 and became engaged in February 2023. Hailie works as an influencer. She grew up in Detroit with dad Eminem - real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III - and mom Kim Scott. She studied at Chippewa Valley High School (2014) and Michigan State University. Hailie studied psychology at Michigan State University. In August, Hailie admitted on her podcast Just A Little Shady that her father's tracks, Temporary and Somebody Save Me, make her 'cry every time' she hears them. In Somebody Save Me, Eminem raps: 'Sorry that I chose drugs and put 'em above you / Sorry that I didn't love you enough to give 'em up.' In the video, footage from Hailie's childhood with her siblings flash by as Eminem watches them. Eminem raps: 'Hailey, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for your first guitar recital,' he raps as she's shown playing a pink acoustic guitar as a teen. In the song lyrics, he also shares his regrets about not walking her 'down the aisle' when she got married and missing the birth of her first child, which are things he would have missed had he died during his 2007 overdose. Eminem, who battled prescription pill addiction in the past, has been sober for 16 years. She continued, 'Between that and Temporary, I mean, I can't. I audibly sobbed I think for both songs but especially Temporary. The Slim Shady artist dedicated Temporary to his daughter and addresses his eventual death in the song and urges her to move on from it and be happy.
