Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade, 25, poses in crop top while wishing for 2021 to be better after the ‘worst week’

, 48, made a name for himself in the '90s by rapping about intimate details of his personal life, including his rise to fame from poverty, with an abusive mum and absent father, and his rocky relationship with ex-wife Kim Scott.

And while fans of the lyrical genius are well-aware of his daughter Hailie Jade, many were unaware that he actually has two other children. 

He began referencing a second little girl, Lainey; most notably in his 2004 hit Mockingbird, which was an ode to his two girls.

He says in the song: "Lainey, uncle's crazy ain't he, yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it", later adding: "Daddy's still here, Lainey I'm talking to you too, Daddy's still here. I like the sound of that, yeah, it's got a ring to it, don't it?"

Lainey, full name Alaina, is actually Eminem's niece, who he adopted as a child because her mother - Kim's twin sister Dawn - was unable to cope.

Alaina and Hailie grew up together, with Dawn battling drug addiction before sadly passing away in 2015.

Eminem also adopted Alaina's sister Whitney, who was born in 2002.

Speaking in 2004, Eminem said of his relationship with Alaina: "My niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born.

"Me and Kim pretty much had her, she'd live with us wherever we was at."

And it's easy to see that Alaina, now 27, has flourished under the rapper's care, now living a wholesome life in Detroit with her boyfriend Matt Moeller.

On her glossy social media page, the proud dog owner regularly shares an insight into what she's up to with her modest 7,500 followers.

She also opens up about her relationship with her mum Dawn, as well as her battle with depression and anxiety.

Alaina was the family's first generation college graduate, graduating Michigan's Oakland in 2017.
