Eminem’s half-brother Nate reacts to his mother’s death in a devastating post

Eminem’s half-brother Nathan “Nate” Kane Mathers has reacted to the death of their mother Debbie Nelson.

A day after the “Mockingbird” hitmaker’s mother died from advanced lung cancer at age 69, his sibling shared how he’s dealing with the news.

“Hate and mixed feelings today,” the 38-year-old wrote in his Instagram story on Tuesday.

Eminem – born Marshall Bruce Mathers III – has yet to publicly comment on his mother’s death after TMZ reported her death earlier this week.

Nate’s reaction also follows the years-long estrangement between him and Eminem from Nelson, who welcomed her sons with two different men.

Nate was placed in foster care when he was eight years old. Eminem later adopted his younger brother when Nate was 16 years old.

Her late mother welcomed Nate to Fred Samara Jr. some 14 years after she gave birth to Eminem during her relationship with Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr.

The 52-year-old is known for using his turbulent relationship with his mother as inspiration for his songs, including his 2002 hit “Cleanin’ Out My Closet.”

Nearly two decades before her death, Nelson spoke about her difficult relationship with her sons in a 2008 interview with Village Voice.

“I will never give up on my children. I’m not going to give up on anyone,” Nelson said. “There is hope for everyone. Basically, it’s about swallowing your pride. It’s like a cashed check. It’s over, it’s done. You have to keep going.”

Although it is unknown what the relationship between Eminem and his mother was at the time of her death, he had previously spoken about wanting to make amends with her in his 2013 song “Headlights.”

“I went in headfirst and never thought about who what I said hurt. My mom probably got it the worst,” he rapped.

The father of three also added that he was “angry that I didn’t have the opportunity to thank you for being my mother and father.”

Three months before Nelson’s death, InTouch Weekly reported that she had “very little time left.”

“There aren’t many options (for Debbie),” the outlet’s source told the outlet in September. “She is currently living between the cancer center and with family members.”

The source also claimed that Eminem was likely unaware of his mother’s rapidly deteriorating health, as he had not communicated with her for “years” before her death.

“He is good to his mother. He makes sure he takes care of her but they don’t really talk,” the insider claimed. “It would be good for both of them (to communicate). This could give them a chance to reconcile.”
