Do we know what Drake did for Eminem’s daughter?
Introduction
In the 1990s, when a little-known white rapper from Detroit, who called himself Eminem, entered the world of rap, it’s safe to say that he was not taken seriously, and that’s putting it mildly.
Rap and Hip Hop were music genres predominantly consisting of black men and women.
Sure, there were a few exceptions to the rule, but generally, that’s how it was and is.
This Eminem character, as people called him, was expected to be just another Vanilla Ice and was expected to fade into obscurity before too long.
All that changed when he was discovered by legendary Rapper and Hip Hop producer Dr Dre, previously known for his work with the group NWA (N***as With Attitude).
Dre introduced the world to the music of Eminem, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Eminem helped pave the way for more modern artists such as Drake, and to show his appreciation for this, Eminem recently revealed in an interview that Drake did something very special for his daughter, Hailie.
So, what did Drake do for Eminem’s daughter?
Let’s try to find out, shall we?
Who is Eminem?

Unless you happen to have been living under a rock for the last two and a half decades, you will almost certainly know who Eminem is, or at the very least, you’ll have heard of him.
Just in case you aren’t familiar with Em, however, here’s a quick refresher.
Eminem, or Marshal Mathers, as is his full name, is an American rapper, songwriter, music producer, and actor who was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, but raised in poverty on the mean streets of Detroit, Michigan.
His mother, Debbie, was reportedly an alcoholic and drug addict, which had a detrimental effect on his childhood.
Marshal was repeatedly in trouble with the law, was the victim of crime, and tried to commit suicide on multiple occasions.
Raised in a predominantly black neighborhood, Marshal began showing a keen interest in rap music and freestyle rap music.
In the early stages of his music career, he called himself MC Double M, and in 1986 he made his demo tape.
The tape was well received, but he still had a long way to go.

In the 1990s, Marshal now went by the name Eminem, and after sending the Slim Shady EP (Extended Play) to Jimmy Lovine, the EP found its way to Dr Dre.
Dre listened to the EP and told Jimmy to find Eminem immediately.
Dre stated he had never heard of a rapper with such talent and natural ability before.
Despite being criticized for hiring a white rapper, Dre backed Eminem all the way.
Earlier, Eminem had created the alter-ego Slim Shady, who was a more extreme, violent, and controversial version of himself.
In 1999, he released the Slim Shady LP, which was very well received, though it attracted a lot of controversy due to the lyrics and subject matter of some of the tracks.
One of the biggest hits of the LP was ‘My Name Is,’ which helped introduce the world to Eminem.
Eminem would collaborate with Dr Dre on numerous tracks and albums over the years, becoming one of the most successful rappers in the history of the industry.
Many consider Eminem to be one of the greatest rappers to have ever lived, and considering he has so many multiple-time platinum albums to his name, has won an Academy Award, and has collaborated with some of the biggest names in rap, it’s easy to understand why Eminem gets so much praise.
Who is Eminem’s daughter?

If you’re a fan of Eminem’s music, especially in his early days, you’ll be familiar with the name ‘Hailie Jade.’
Eminem would regularly rap about his daughter and was, and still is, fiercely protective over her.
Eminem wanted to give Hailie, who he had with his ex-wife Kim, the life that he never had growing up.
Born on Christmas Day, 1995, Hailie is Marshal’s only biological daughter, although she has two adopted siblings, Alaina and Whitney.
Hailie graduated from Chippewa Valley High School with Honors back in 2014 and primarily now works as an influencer on social media, primarily on Instagram, where she has more than 3.1 million followers.
In early 2023, she announced her engagement to her long-time boyfriend, Evan McClintock.
She is reportedly a big name in Canadian rapper Drake and his music, which could be why the rapper was so kind to her in the past.

Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, was born on October 24th, 1986, in Toronto, Canada.
He is a Canadian rapper and singer and is considered one of the most influential R&B artists in the industry today.

Drake pursued a career in music, and his first three albums, entitled: Thank me Later, Take Care, and Nothing Was the Same, were all critical and financial successes.
Drake has collaborated with some huge names in the music industry, including Rihanna, Chris Brown, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, and many more.
Some of his biggest hits and tracks to feature him include ‘Work, Hotline Bling, and God’s Plan.’

What did Drake do for Eminem’s daughter?

Eminem has made no secrets about the fact that he is a big fan of Drake’s music and Drake as a person.
In an x Sway interview, however, the rapper revealed that Drake will always be in his good books because of something he did for his daughter.
So, what did Drake do for Eminem’s daughter?
Well, nobody knows for certain.
Despite much speculation, nobody other than those closest to Eminem, Drake, and Hailie, know for certain what Drake did.
Some people believe he hooked Hailie up with VIP tickets to one of his shows because she is such a huge fan, whereas others believe he may have performed for her at a private party perhaps.
The truth is, we don’t know for certain, but hopefully, one day, all will become clear.
