Debbie Nelson passes away at 69

On December 2nd, it was confirmed by Eminem’s representative, Dennis Dennehy, to TMZ that his mother, Debbie Nelson, had sadly passed away in St. Joseph, Missouri. She had been fighting a severe form of lung cancer for some time, and the intricacies of her illness eventually led to her passing.

This year in September, news emerged about her battling lung cancer. A source shared with InTouch Weekly that Nelson’s treatment options were running low, and she was given a short time to live. The source also mentioned that Eminem has been providing financial aid but hasn’t reconciled with her or her family for years.

Over time, Eminem and his mother have had a complex relationship that’s been strained, marked by significant difficulties. In particular, Eminem frequently criticized her in his music, notably on his debut album “The Slim Shady LP,” which has led to legal action against him for libel.

Despite their ups and downs, Nelson continued to admire his son’s achievements at a distance. Two years ago, she too expressed her congratulations in a public manner following his entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as reported by People).

Nelson was born on a military installation in Kansas, and afterwards, the family moved to Saint Joseph. It is said that her early life was challenging as her parents divorced while she was still a child. At the age of 16, she tied the knot with her long-time high-school sweetheart, Marshall Bruce Mathers.
