In his tear-jerking video for his new single “Temporary,” Eminem reveals that he’s going to become a grandfather.
The song, included on the rapper’s latest album “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce),” is dedicated to his daughter Hailie Jade, who surprises her father at the end of the video by gifting him a jersey that reads “Grandpa” with the number one on it and a photo of her ultrasound.
The video itself is a montage of footage of Eminem and Hailie together over the years, interspersed with footage from her wedding in May. In the clip, he chokes back tears as he sees her for the first time in her white dress, and dances with her as attendees look on.
