Eminem's Grandson Rocks Rapboy Outfit: A Family Tradition Continues!
GRANNY'S GOT GAME! Eminem's Adorable Four-Month-Old Grandson Elliot Steals the Show as Rapboy
In a move that's got everyone talking, Eminem's 15-time Grammy-winning daughter Hailie Jade McClintock has shared an Instagram story that's left fans of the rap legend in awe. The 29-year-old mom has posted a snap of her four-month-old son Elliot dressed up like his grandfather's iconic superhero alter ego Rapboy - and we can't get enough!
The adorable onesie-clad tot is rocking the same Robin-inspired costume Eminem first debuted in his Grammy-winning music video for Without Me back in 2002. The rap legend, who originally wanted to become a comic book artist, has been repping the character on-and-off over the years, including in his recent Houdini music video.
But what's got everyone talking is that this isn't just any ordinary Rapboy cosplay - it's Elliot's official debut as the mini-me! And judging by the comments on Hailie's post, fans are loving every minute of it. "The grandfather is grandfathering!" exclaimed one Instagram user, while another chimed in, "You know his grandson inspired this!"
So, what inspired Eminem to bring out Rapboy for his grandchild? Well, sources close to the rapper reveal that Elliot was the driving force behind the onesie - and we can't help but wonder if Eminem's own experiences as a father had something to do with it. After all, the rap legend has been open about his struggles with parenthood in the past.
In fact, just last year, Eminem announced the impending birth of Elliot on his 2024 music video for Temporary (feat. Skylar Grey) - and fans were overjoyed! The rapper even shared a snap of an ultrasound picture, proudly holding up the news to the world.
But what's most heartwarming about this story is Hailie's thoughtful decision to give her son Elliot the middle name Marshall in honor of his famous grandfather. It's clear that she wants her child to have a special connection to Eminem - and we can't blame her!
As fans of the rapper know, Hailie has been open about her complicated relationship with her mother Kimberly Scott, who has struggled with mental health issues in the past. In fact, Kimberly was rushed to the hospital after taking a bunch of pills and cutting herself just days after her own mother's funeral back in 2021.
Despite the challenges she's faced, Hailie has been working hard to build a life for herself and her family. She's even started a podcast called Just a Little Shady and has collaborated with brands like Revlon, NutriBullet, and Watersquare Residencies on paid partnerships.
And speaking of Eminem's family drama, it's no secret that he's had his fair share of high-profile feuds over the years - including with his ex-wife Kimberly Scott. The two were married twice before calling it quits in 2001 and again in 2006 after less than three years of marriage.
But despite all the ups and downs, Eminem has remained dedicated to his children, even adopting Kim's nonbinary child Stevie Laine and her late sister Dawn's daughter Alaina. And now, with Elliot by his side, it seems like the rap legend is reliving his superhero glory days - and we couldn't be more thrilled!
STANS: THE DOCUMENTARY
For fans of Eminem, there's even more reason to celebrate. A fully-authorized documentary called Stans, directed by Steven Leckart, is set to hit theaters worldwide on August 7-10. The film centers around Eminem's relationship with his superfans - affectionately nicknamed after his iconic song Stan - and promises to be a must-watch for anyone who's ever been obsessed with the rap legend.
So, there you have it - Eminem's adorable grandson Elliot is stealing the show as Rapboy, and we couldn't be more excited! Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story - and don't forget to check out thescholarlynote.com for all your Eminem news and gossip needs!
