Eminem’s daughter has stirred up a bit of controversy surrounding her upbringing in a popular TikTok post. Specifically, she has brought up her adoptive status and how the news was broken to her about her biological father. But, what did she say that got Eminem fans riled up?
Stevie is Eminem’s daughter, and she maintains an active presence on TikTok. However, one of her posts sent her father’s fans into an uproar.
According to Daily Mail, Stevie posted a lip sync clip, referring to her finding out about her biological father a full year after he had passed away. His name was Eric Hartter, and he was a tattoo artist who suffered an overdose back in 2019.

Daily Mail reported that Stevie’s biological father had a rough history of substance abuse and criminal activity. If her TikTok post is legit, and she really was unaware of who her birth father was, then it could mean Eminem might not have wanted her exposed to his dangerous behavior.
He’s reported by the Daily Mail as having said: “You can never let a child feel like it’s her fault for what’s goin’ on. You just gotta let her know, ‘Mom has a problem, she’s sick, and it’s not because she doesn’t love you. She loves you, but she’s sick right now, and until she gets better, you’ve got Daddy. And I’m here.'”
Stevie was born only six months after her mother and Eminem got divorced (2001). But, Eminem and her mom would briefly reunite before calling it quits again. At that point, Eminem ended up adopting Stevie and raising her.
Stevie Was Sent an Article About Her Dad’s Death
According to Daily Mail, Stevie’s lip sync TikTok clip features a conversation in which someone claims “He’s not your real dad. You’re adopted.”
The clip includes her asking her dad what’s up, stating, “You’re my real dad right? Am I adopted?” “I am your real dad,'” is the response Stevie gets in the clip at that point.

The clip continues with Stevie being sent an article about her biological dad’s death, which she asks her grandmother about. Her clip then quotes her grandmother saying, “I’m sorry they wouldn’t tell you about him.”
It ends with lyrics from an Adventure Time song called “Remember Me.” The lyrics were, “That must be so confusing for a little girl.”
Stevie Faced Backlash on the Daily Mail’s Site
According to the Daily Mail, Stevie’s sister, Halie Jade, ended up liking the clip on TikTok. However, some Eminem fans were upset with how Stevie had blamed Eminem for the situation.
One commenter on the Daily Mail had the following to say about it all. “I don’t like how they only put Eminem on blast, as old social media sites Stevie used when they were younger showed they even asked Kim about Eric and Kim lied to them too.

“Both parents lied, but Stevie never indicated they were mad about being adopted and raised by Em. They never said a bad word about that, but when your biological father passes away in 2019 and that’s how you find out about the guy…. and your own grandmother is the one to break the truth to you…. that is going to be hard on a person.”
Although several Daily Mail commenters lashed out at Stevie for posting the clip, a few called for people to be more compassionate about her complicated relationship with her parents.
