Eminem has remained one of the most influential rappers in history, with 15 Grammy Awards and even an Academy Award under his belt, thanks to songs that have been heard by hundreds of millions. And now, the 52-year-old has just hit another major milestone!

The Real Slim Shady is now officially a grandpa, as his daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, shared photos of her newborn baby with her husband, Evan McClintock. The baby has been named Elliot Marshall McClintock, after his iconic grandfather, whose birth name is Marshall Mathers. The news has left the internet both surprised and amused, seeing the rapper become a grandad at such a young age, and making all his fans feel hilariously old too.

Hilarious internet reactions to Eminem becoming a grandfather

People always say they hate it when their grandfathers try to act young by attempting to rap. But that’s definitely not something Eminem’s grandson will ever say, since his grandad is Slim Shady himself!

"Rap battles now include lullabies 💥🎶" a user joked.

The rapper must find himself in quite an amusing position now, having to sing lullabies to his grandson instead of rapping Billboard-topping hits.

"He gave birth?" reacted another.

While the world is surprised that Slim Shady has become a grandad, this user just topped everyone by only now finding out that he ever became a father. Hopefully, she knows the rapper has not one but three children, otherwise, she’s in for another surprise!

Fans are quite impressed with the rapper becoming a grandad at just 52. He’ll surely get to enjoy the joys of grandfatherhood for a really, really long time.

"Grandpa Eminem before GTA 6💀 " a user wrote.

We live in a time when Slim Shady has become a grandad before the release of GTA 6, as this fan points out. The makers sure are taking their time, considering how fans have been waiting since 2013, when GTA 5 first dropped.

"Grandpa Shady is here," commented another.

Wait a minute, what will the kid call the rapper when he grows up? Grandpa Em? Grandpa Shady? Or just plain old Grandpa?

While Eminem hasn’t publicly spoken about his grandson’s birth yet, fans have wasted no time flooding his social media with congratulatory messages. Now, they’re all wondering one thing - will Slim Shady drop a rap about the joys of grandfatherhood soon?
