Debbie Nelson, Eminem’s mother, whose difficult relationship with her son was reflected in much of his earlier music, has died at the age of 69.
The rapper’s representative, Dennis Dennehy, confirmed his mother’s death to US media.
The cause of death has yet to be confirmed but Nelson was known to have lung cancer.
Eminem is yet to comment publicly on his mother’s death.
The fraught relationship with his mother was most starkly laid bare on one of his biggest hits, Cleanin’ Out My Closet.
In the 2002 song, Eminem furiously accuses her of drug abuse and neglect.
