Eminem’s teenaged child Stevie appears to have called out their father for not revealing that they were adopted.
In a TikTok video posted a week ago, Stevie — who came out as non-binary shortly afterward and alternates between they, he and she pronouns — seemed to recount a conversation with the 48-year-old rapper about being adopted.
The clip featured repeated denials that they were adopted, before they learned that their biological father had died last year.

Family grievances: Eminem’s teenaged child Stevie appears to have called out their father for not revealing that they were adopted, after coming out as non-binary
Stevie is the biological child of Eminem’s ex-wife Kim Scott and the late tattoo artist Eric Hartter, whom she was linked to during a period when she had separated from the musician. He died in 2020.
