Eminem becomes grandpa as Hailie Jade welcomes baby boy

Hi, his name is … Elliot Marshall McClintock.

Rap icon Eminem has become a grandfather to a baby boy born March 14, his daughter Hailie Jade revealed Friday on Instagram.

“3 weeks earthside little e,” she wrote in a post that included a pair of pics of Elliot in a knit hoodie with bear ears.

The baby’s middle name is a nod to his famous rapper grandpa, born Marshall Mathers, 52.

Jade documented her pregnancy for her 3.9 million followers on Instagram. Elliot is her first child with husband Evan McClintock. The couple married in May.

Eminem and Jade unveiled the news of her pregnancy in the rapper’s October music video, “Temporary,” which included images of her ultrasound scans and a customized Detroit Lions jersey labeled “GRANDPA.”

Jade, 29, is the daughter of Eminem and his ex-wife Kim Scott

The “Just a Little Shady” podcast host has been the inspiration for a handful of her father’s early songs, including “My Dad’s Gone Crazy,” for which she voiced the hook. The song debuted when Jade was 6 years old, and she was later awarded a Guinness World Record for Youngest R&B Chart Entrant.

Eminem also rapped about her in “Hailie’s Song” in 2002: “My baby girl keeps getting older/ I watch her grow up with pride … My insecurities could eat me alive/ But then I see my baby / Suddenly I’m not crazy / It all makes sense when I look into her eyes.”
