Eminem's music company 'sues Meta for $109,000,000 over 243 of his songs'
Eminem's music company Eight Mile Style has sued Facebook's parent company Meta for $109 million, it is reported. The 52-year-old rapper's publishing company has filed a lawsuit over alleged copyright infringement to the tune of $109million (£80.6m), arguing Meta Platforms violated the copyright of 243 of his songs. The filling, obtained by E! News and made by Eminem's music company Eight Mile Style, alleged Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, published a range of tools that 'allow and encourage its users to steal' Eminem's recordings to use in video content 'without proper attribution or license'. The lawsuit also accused Meta Platforms of not only 'rampant infringement' of Eight Mile Compositions, but also of 'knowing infringement', according to reports. Specifically, the lawsuit cited Meta's Original Audio and Reels services, which it argued knowingly facilitated the 'unauthorized storage, reproduction and exploitation' of Eminem's original music. Subsequently, Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers – sought to recoup monetary losses driven by 'the diminished value of the copyrights by Defendants' theft of them, lost profits, and Defendants' profits attributable to the infringement'. If that value could not be agreed on, the lawsuit requested Eminem receive the maximum statutory damages: $150,000 (£111,000) for each of the 243 songs across all three of Meta's platforms, totalling more than $100 million. This comes as Eminem celebrated 25 years since his third studio album The Marshall Mathers LP, which was released on May 23, 2000, after his debut Infinite in 1996, and The Slim Shady LP in 1999. Since, the rapper has sold over 100million albums worldwide, and is still making music, with his latest album The Death of Slim Shady, which dropped in July last year. While the album landed to mixed reviews, it saw the Lose Yourself hitmaker earn his 11th number one album, joining the likes of Taylor Swift, U2 and David Bowie.

The music video, released in October, showed him holding up his daughter Hailie's baby scan photo, looking chuffed. More Trending The emotional song took the form of a message for his daughter to help her grieve when he is gone. Born in Missouri, Eminem has three half-siblings called Michael, Sarah and Nate and he lived with his mother Debbie as they moved to a number of different cities before eventually settling in Detroit, Michigan. At the age of 15, the musician met his e-wife Kimberley Anne Scott in high school. They started a relationship and welcomed daughter Hailie together in 1995. Metro has contacted Meta for comment.

Eminem is surprise guest as he joins Jelly Roll onstage at Ford Field in Detroit
Eminem ignited a near-deafening roar at Ford Field when he emerged to join Jelly Roll onstage Sunday night. The Detroit rapper strode from the wings to pick up the next verse of "Lose Yourself" as Jelly Roll performed his own cover of the Eminem hit. More: How many Detroit artists are in the R&R Hall of Fame? After some dispute, here's an answer More: Eminem stalker convicted by jury after second invasion at rapper's Clinton Township home It was similar to an Eminem cameo made at Ford Field in 2023, when he joined Ed Sheeran for the same song. Sunday's sold-out crowd seemed ready for the possibility, eyes trained on the stage as Jelly Roll headed toward the end of his hour-long set opening for Post Malone. Eminem and Jelly Roll met for the first time nearly a year ago at the concert celebrating the reopening of Detroit's Michigan Central. Eminem then tapped Jelly Roll's "Save Me" for an emotional song on his album "The Death of Slim Shady" -- which Jelly then closed with Sunday after triumphantly pumping his fists. This has just become, he said, the "greatest show" of his life. This article originally appeared on Detroit Free Press: Eminem is surprise guest as he joins Jelly Roll onstage in Detroit

Eminem Fans Push Several Of His Biggest Albums Back To The Charts
Eminem's music floods the U.K. charts, as Curtain Call climbs and The Eminem Show and The Marshall ... More Mathers LP return to the hip-hop tally.

Cox/Getty Images) Eminem sees three different albums return to charts in the United Kingdom this week. That's quite the performance from a hip-hop superstar who rarely needs to bounce back onto these lists. He is far and away one of the most successful rappers of all time across the globe, and his domination of the U.K. rankings is near-unparalleled. Following a busy frame, which was flush with Record Store Day offerings, multiple collections by the Grammy and Oscar winner find their way back — some, interestingly, to more than one tally. Eminem sees a pair of projects return to the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart. Coming up first is The Marshall Mathers LP, which reappears at No. 34. Just a few spots beneath that title, The Eminem Show returns at No. 37. Curtain Call: The Hits is also back, but on a different list. While The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show are only present on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart, Curtain Call reenters the Official Album Downloads tally, landing at No. 96. Eminem's massively popular greatest hits set also appears on a trio of other tallies at the same time. Curtain Call maintains its placement at No. 23 on the Official Albums chart, the most competitive album ranking in the country. It dips a few slots on the Official Albums Streaming list, settling at No. 20, while rising five positions to No. 25 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums tally. In addition to this trio of charting efforts that reappear somewhere, Eminem also sees two other full-lengths appear on U.K. rankings this week. Curtain Call 2 dips on both the Official Albums chart and the Official Albums Streaming ranking. Meanwhile, his latest full-length, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), climbs on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart. On that tally alone, Eminem occupies four spots, thanks to two comebacks and a pair of rising winners. All four of Eminem's collections that currently appear on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart have hit No. 1 in the past, as have many of his other efforts. The Death of Slim Shady is the shortest-running winner of the bunch, with just 41 stays on the list so far — a number that's sure to grow as more time passes, since it's still relatively new – at least when compared to his earlier sets, which are still charting. The other Eminem efforts on the tally have spent more than a decade on the roster. The Eminem Show is now up to 661 weeks, while The Marshall Mathers LP has racked up 834 stays somewhere on the roster. Curtain Call stands as one of the greatest successes of all time, as it recently passed 900 appearances on this genre-specific ranking.

50 Cent congratulates Eminem on becoming a grandfather after Hailie Jade welcomes baby boy
Eminem has officially entered grandpa mode — and 50 Cent is here for it. Over the weekend, 50 Cent took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate Eminem's latest milestone after the rapper's daughter, Hailie Jade, announced the birth of her son. Posting a sweet photo of the newborn, 50 wrote, 'Congratulations This is the best WOW.' Hailie Jade, 29, shared the news on Friday, revealing her baby boy's full name — Elliot Marshall McClintock — and his birthday, March 14. Fans quickly noted that the middle name, Marshall, is a nod to Eminem's real name, Marshall Bruce Mathers III. One fan commented, 'When he's 10 he'll be saying 'my Grandpa is Eminem' .. coolest flex ever.' Congratulations 🎈👏👏👏 😏This is the best 🤦WOW! — 50cent (@50cent) April 5, 2025 Another chimed in with praise for 50 Cent, saying, 'You're gonna be an awesome gruncle!' — a mashup of grandpa and uncle, fitting for the rapper who has known Em for more than two decades. Hailie Jade tied the knot with Evan McClintock in May 2024, a year after getting engaged. The wedding was a low-key affair attended by close friends and family — including, of course, 50 Cent. The G-Unit mogul and Eminem have remained close collaborators since the early 2000s, working together on hits like 'Patiently Waiting' and 'Crack a Bottle.' Last year, 50 even hyped Em's latest project, 'The Death of Slim Shady,' and expressed interest in finally making their long-rumored joint album a reality. 'That would be great,' Eminem said in a December interview with Shade 45. 'We just gotta stop bullshitting and just do it. I would never say it's not possible, what the f–k?!' 50 replied with enthusiasm, posting, 'Looks like I'll be back in the booth after all! Just gotta do this residency in Vegas first.' With a new baby in the family and longtime friends cheering him on, it looks like Eminem's next chapter is shaping up to be a heartwarming one.

Eminem now a grandfather as daughter welcomes baby named after the Rap legend
ALBAWABA - The Real Slim Shady, best-selling rapper Eminem, is now officially a grandfather as daughter Hailie Jade Scott, 29, and her husband, Evan McClintock, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Elliot Marshall McClintock, born on March 14, 2025. Hailie shared the sweet news with fans on Instagram, posting an adorable photo of baby Elliot dressed in a knit hoodie, lying peacefully in front of a name sign that reads 'Elliot Marshall McClintock.' She captioned the post, 'happy due date // 3 weeks earthside little e 🤍.' Fans were quick to point out that the baby's initials (E.M & M) also appear to be a clever nod to Hailie's father, Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, as noted by the Rolling Stone. Elliot Marshall Mcclintock baby photos, son of Hailie Jade Scott, and her husband, Evan McClintock and grandson of infamour rapper Eminem (Instagram @hailiejade) Although Eminem hasn't made public comments on the birth, his 2024 music video for "Temporary" gave fans an insight of his emotional response to the news of his daughter's pregnancy. At the end of the heartwarming video, his daughter gives him a blue baby jersey with the words "Grandpa" and a sonogram. The rapper's look of shock and tears said it all. As a profoundly personal message to Hailie, the song, which is included on Eminem's most recent album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), incorporates rare and tender videos from family occasions that have taken place over the years. Though Hailie kept much of her pregnancy private, she opened up on the final episode of season three of her podcast Just a Little Shady, recorded shortly before giving birth. 'It's so weird to think about… I can't even wrap my head around it,' she said, as reported by Yahoo. 'I have to meet this human that I've created. What's he gonna look like? What's his personality gonna be like? It's strange but super exciting.' Also Read Eminem's mother Debbie Nelson, passes away at 69 The couple previously revealed they were expecting a baby boy during a November 2024 podcast episode, complete with a joyful blue-confetti balloon pop. 'When we found out, Evan was like, 'They're going to hunt with me. They're going to go golfing with me. I've got a little buddy,'' Hailie shared.
