The daughter missed: Eminem cried to overdose

Published on August 14, 2025

Eminem (52) shared a very moving chapter of his life in the new documentary "Stans", which has been running in cinemas since August 7.The rapper talks about a near -death experience after an overdose in 2007. This had not only physical but also emotional consequences for him.He hit him particularly hard when he found out that he had missed his daughter Hailie Jade McClintock's first guitar appearance."I had a video of it and when I saw it I cried," he says in the documentary."The feelings of guilt were overwhelming. It was as if I had to ask myself: 'Do you really want to miss everything?'" This moment became a turning point for the rapper in his life. The overdose was part of a vicious circle.In the documentation, Eminem describes how he turned into the painkillers in his depression, which led to an increased tolerance and finally overdose.At that time he consumed up to 20 pills a day.This was followed by days of recovery in the hospital and a long way to sobriety, which he finally successfully followed in 2008.Two years later, he published the album "Relapse" in which he processed what had happened.Today the rapper can proudly look back on many years of abstinence, which he celebrated with an Instagram contribution in April last year.He wrote on a photo of his abstinence chip: "16 years!" The documentary "Stans", named after Eminem's hit from 2000, illuminates the singer's complex life, his relationship with himself and his fans - the famous "Stans".This mixture of interviews, archive material and stylized scenes not only shows Eminem's career highlights, but also his human moments.During the difficult time after the overdose, the love for his daughter was helping him to take a fresh start.Hailie, who is 29 years old today and is now a mother herself, is often the focus of his music and was also an anchor for him privately."If you can't do it for yourself, at least do it for you," the artist recalls his thoughts at the time.A clear sign of how important family is for the superstar.
