"Lied" About Childhood Says Mom
12/19/07
Rap star Eminem lied to his fans about life growing up on a trailer
park, according to his mother.
The Without Me hitmaker shot to fame singing about his childhood in a
poor area of Detroit, Michigan.
But the star's mother Debbie Nelson refutes the claims in her tell-all
book My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem.
She says, "After his first album, Infinite, flopped, he reinvented
himself as white trailer trash with a crazy welfare mom.
"I was shocked when I first heard the lyrics... but he constantly
reassured me it was all a big joke... I went along with it for Marshall's
sake."
