Eminem released the heartwarming music video for his track “Temporary” on October 3, starring his daughter Hailie Jade. The emotional video features nostalgic home footage of Hailie’s childhood, showing moments from birthday parties and recitals to her recent wedding. The video culminates in a touching scene where Hailie surprises Eminem with the news that he is going to be a grandfather. She presents him with a Detroit Lions jersey labeled “Grandpa” and the number one, prompting an emotional reaction from the rapper.

The video continues with a moving daddy-daughter dance at Hailie’s wedding, followed by a flashback to a Father’s Day card she wrote as a child, expressing her love and gratitude: “You truly are the best dad in the world. Love you forever + 100 million dollars forever and always.” The Skylar Grey-assisted “Temporary” was featured on Eminem’s July album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) and debuted at No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100.
