She's been the subject of many of his most memorable songs, and now Eminem's daughter, 17-year-old Hailie Scott, is all grown up and the newly crowned winner of Homecoming Queen at her Michigan high school, US Weekly reports.
On Oct. 4, Scott was voted Homecoming Queen by the student body and faculty along with self-described nerd and Homecoming King, Tyler Knepp, at Chippewa Valley High School. Her superstar father reportedly stayed out of public view while watching his daughter receive her crown, as parents told the Macomb Daily.
"Hailie came out with her mother Kim [Scott] when she was introduced with all the other kids but her father watched from inside the school because he didn't want to cause a scene - he wanted Hailie to have her own moment," one parent told the local newspaper.
Several other parents told the Macomb Daily that Eminem watched the school's football game, which they won, and homecoming proceedings from a classroom inside the building.
"I heard our people had him in the cafeteria so he could see what was going on outside, but I can't confirm that," George Sobah, president of the Chippewa Valley Board of Education, told the Daily.
Another parent reported that Eminem was "beaming with pride" after his daughter was crowned and popped his head out of the door with a look that said, "That's my daughter!"
Word of Scott's accomplishments soon became a hot topic on Twitter after a screengrab of her win began circulating the internet. Scott has been described by parents of her peers as an intelligent, athletic and caring young woman. She is Eminem's only biological child with his ex-wife, Kimberly Scott, the couple having divorced in 2001, remarried in 2006 and divorced again that same year. The rapper also adopted Kimberly Scott's daughter from a previous relationship, Whitney, and Kimberly Scott's sister's daughter, Alaina.
"I think all of the kids in the district have shown respect to their family and just let her live a normal life here out of the spotlight," one parents told the Daily. "I think that speaks very highly of the Chippewa Valley community to not try to take advantage of their fame."
Eminem has frequently spoken about his love and devotion to his daughter, having included her voice on his 2002 track, "My Dad's Gone Crazy," and rapped about her in his Grammy-nominated hit song, "Mockingbird." Em's new album, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," a sequel to his third studio album, will be released on Nov. 2.
