Eminem's Mother Debbie Nelson Passes Away at 69

Eminem's mother, Debbie Nelson, has died at 69 after battling advanced lung cancer. Known for their turbulent relationship, Eminem often referenced their struggles in his music, including the 2002 hit "Cleanin' Out My Closet." Despite a past defamation lawsuit Nelson filed against him, she expressed hope for reconciliation in a 2008 interview. It's unclear if they reconciled before her death, though reports suggest Eminem provided financial support.
