Early Childhood & Life
Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on October 17, 1972, in St. Joseph, Missouri, to Marshall Bruce Mathers, Jr. and his wife Deborah Rae “Debbie” Nelson.
 
The band Daddy Warbucks, which used to play at the Ramada Inns hotel, included Marshall’s parents. His mother Debbie and father Bruce later divorced & went on to engage in various relationships.
The three half-siblings of Eminem are Michael, Sarah, and Nate. Marshall shared a home with Debbie, his mother. Before deciding to settle in Detroit, Michigan, they moved to a number of cities.
 
He grew up in a neighborhood with a high concentration of black people, where he was frequently bullied by African-American children. He demonstrated an early interest in rap music and comic books.
 
He never got along well with his mother, who was the cause of his rough upbringing. But he was close to Ronnie, her half-brother. Because of their ongoing arguments, Marshall’s grades plummeted and, at the age of 17, he left “Lincoln High School.”
 
Career
 
Marshall teamed up with his friend Mike Ruby to learn rapping when he was just 14 years old. The names of the two friends were Manix and M&M; M&M later changed to Eminem.
 
Alongside his friend DeShaun Dupree Holton, who subsequently rose to fame as the rapper Proof, Marshall also participated in rap competitions at the “Osborn High School.” The two rappers attended all of these music competitions in Detroit at West 7 Mile. Eminem practiced crafting lengthy rhymes in order to become a master of the craft. He started off rapping with a group named the “New Jacks,” but then joined the band “Soul Intent,” who released a single in 1995 with Eminem and Proof on it.
 
Later, the 2 buddies split from “Soul Intent” and in 1996 started their own band called “D12” or “The Dirty Dozen.” Famous rappers Kon Artis and Bizarre were a part of this crew. Record-breaking singles by the group include “Fight Music,” “Shit on You,” and “How Come.”
 
Eminem released his debut album, named “Infinite,” in 1996. Songs on the album, which was released under the label “FBT Productions,” discussed the difficulties he encountered in raising his daughter at the a time when his finances were precarious.
 
By 1997, he and his family were compelled to move into his mother’s home due to his deteriorating financial situation. He developed the antisocial alter persona “Slim Shady” during this time in order to let go of the distress that was festering within of him. In the same year, he even recorded his debut extended play under the same moniker.
 
He participated in the “Rap Olympics” in 1997 and finished in second place. Aftermath Entertainment’s founder Dr. Dre heard his “Slim Shady EP (Extended Play).” He was very taken aback by Eminem and expressed a strong desire to collaborate with the gifted rapper.
 
Dr. Dre assisted Eminem in releasing the “The Slim Shady LP” record in February 1999, which quickly made him famous. It was one of the popular albums of the year thanks to hits like “My Name Is,” “97 Bonnie and Clyde,” and “Guilty Conscience.” Along with buddy Paul Rosenberg, he established the record company “Shady Records” in the same year.

The rapper is honest about how dependent he is on pharmaceuticals like Ambien, Vicodin, Valium, and Methadone. His dependence on it became so severe that he once went on a fast-food binge, which caused him to gain a lot of weight. Another time, he overdosed on methadone and passed out in the bathroom, necessitating hospitalization.
 
The singer’s songs have gotten him into controversy numerous times and are frequently accused of having homophobic lyrics, but he insists that they are only music and that he does no problem with homosexuality.
