In a surprising development, Eminem’s legal team has disclosed that the rap icon is planning to transfer a substantial portion of his fortune to his newborn grandson, Elliot Marshall McClintock, born March 14, 2025, to his daughter Hailie Jade Scott and her husband Evan McClintock. The proposed trust, described as “massive” by sources close to the matter, includes assets from Eminem’s $250 million net worth, as well as a deeply sentimental item that Hailie once coveted—a vintage Detroit Pistons jacket from the rapper’s early career. The revelation, reported by The U.S. Sun on April 17, 2025, has sparked widespread discussion among fans on X, who are moved by Eminem’s commitment to securing his grandson’s future while honoring his bond with Hailie.

Eminem, 52, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, has long prioritized family, raising Hailie, adopted daughters Alaina and Stevie, and half-brother Nathan amidst a turbulent rise to fame. His lawyer, speaking anonymously to The Mirror, outlined the trust, which includes real estate holdings, such as his 8,900-square-foot Clinton Township home, and a portion of royalties from his catalog, including hits like “Lose Yourself” and “Stan.” The trust aims to provide Elliot with financial security, covering education and future ventures, reflecting Eminem’s own struggles as a young father working minimum-wage jobs, as he detailed in a 2004 Rolling Stone interview.

The most poignant inclusion is the Detroit Pistons jacket, a relic from Eminem’s pre-fame days when he and Hailie attended games together. Hailie, now 29, borrowed it for a 2022 Pistons game, calling it a cherished memory in a TikTok post, saying she “stole it from my dad” because it tied her to their shared past. Sources say Hailie had hoped to keep it as a memento, but Eminem’s decision to pass it to Elliot symbolizes a generational bridge, with the jacket—valued for its sentimental rather than monetary worth—intended to remind Elliot of his family’s roots. “It’s not about the money for Marshall; it’s about legacy,” a source told Daily Mail. “Hailie gets it, even if it stings a bit.”

Fans on X have praised Eminem’s generosity, with posts calling him “the ultimate grandpa” for ensuring Elliot’s future while honoring Hailie’s influence. The trust’s details remain under negotiation, with Eminem’s team ensuring tax efficiency, per The U.S. Sun. This move follows Eminem’s emotional embrace of grandfatherhood, seen in his “Temporary” music video, where Hailie gifted him a “Grandpa” jersey, a moment that left him teary-eyed. The video, released in October 2024, also featured home videos of Hailie, underscoring Eminem’s devotion to her, which he echoed in songs like “Mockingbird” and “Hailie’s Song.”

Some speculate the transfer reflects Eminem’s desire to step back from the spotlight, especially after his 2024 album The Death of Slim Shady and a relatively private life in Detroit. Others see it as a response to his own absent father, Marshall Mathers Jr., whom he rejected, as noted in a 2023 Daily Mail report. Regardless, the inclusion of the jacket has touched fans, with one X post reading, “Em giving Elliot that jacket Hailie loved shows he’s thinking generations ahead.”
As Eminem prepares for Elliot’s future, the trust and the jacket stand as testaments to his evolution from a struggling rapper to a family patriarch, ensuring his grandson inherits not just wealth but a tangible piece of the Mathers legacy.
