Debbie Nelson, the mother of rapper Eminem and a central figure in his early music, has died at the age of 69.
The news was confirmed by the artist’s representative, Dennis Dennehy, to US media.
Nelson’s cause of death has not been disclosed, though she was known to have been battling lung cancer.
Eminem has not yet issued a public statement regarding her passing.
Nelson and Eminem’s tumultuous relationship was a recurring theme in the rapper’s earlier music, with one of the most notable examples being his 2002 hit Cleanin’ Out My Closet.
In the song, Eminem leveled harsh accusations against his mother, rapping: “Witnessin’ your mama poppin’ prescription pills in the kitchen” and later adding, “Keep telling yourself that you was a mom.”
Their conflicts also played out in the public eye. In 1999, Nelson sued Eminem for defamation over his lyrics in My Name Is.
She later revealed the lawsuit was her lawyer’s idea and eventually settled out of court for $25,000 (£19,000).
Eminem has also connected his own struggles with prescription drug addiction to his mother’s experiences.
On the 2009 track My Mom, he rapped: “That’s why I’m on what I’m on, ’cause I’m my mom.”
In 2008, Debbie Nelson published a memoir titled My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem, in which she expressed sadness over her son’s portrayal of her, saying she was “heartbroken” by his allegations.
Nelson’s death marks the end of a complex chapter in Eminem’s life, one that has been both deeply personal and widely publicized through his music.

Popular TikTok streamer, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has announced attendance rules for his white wedding with his wife, Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, popularly known as Jarvis, saying bloggers and excessive camera coverage will not be allowed at the ceremony scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2026.
Speaking in a video shared on social media on Sunday, August 2, 2026, Peller said he wants a more private atmosphere for the church wedding after his experience at the traditional ceremony.
According to him, there were more bloggers than invited guests at the traditional wedding, with some people allegedly buying aso-ebi just to gain access to the event and record videos.
“My white wedding is on August 8. I don’t know who brought those bloggers to my wedding. I don’t know how bloggers will be more than the guests. Some people bought aso-ebi just to come and record us. I want only 80 to 100 people at my white wedding,” he said.
Peller said the white wedding would be an intimate event with only 80 to 100 guests.
He also claimed that some people who attended the traditional wedding appeared to be more interested in creating content than celebrating with them.
Despite his concerns about the crowd and media presence, Peller said the traditional wedding was successful.
“Anyway, the traditional wedding was a success,” he said.
Nigerian artist Cynthia Ikponmwenosa Morgan, popularly known as Cynthia Morgan, has called out her former record label boss, Jude Okoye, describing herself as a living witness to what he is capable of.
The dancehall and rap artist, while speaking up via her Instagram page, fueled the heat between the Okoye brothers, claiming that Jude has the power to make the truth disappear.
Morgan also claimed she is a living witness to some of the things Jude Okoye is being accused of by Peter.
”If there is one thing I know about judeengees. I know for a fact that he can make the truth disappear either in front or behind the cameras. I am a living witness of his. So our only hope of getting the truth this time is the judiciary.
“So help them God wickedness. But the difference this time is he came with chats and emails. You see how he quickly said Peter is crashing out because he is going down. That is how toxic and divisive he is. In a real sense, even if I don’t listen to secular music anymore, I saw Peter trending with his new song recently. Jude is not a good human being,” she stated
Big Brother Naija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has criticised the Season 11 housemates for their lack of energy and initiative during their first week on the reality show.
Ebuka delivered the assessment during Sunday night’s live show, saying many of the contestants appeared to be waiting for events to unfold instead of creating memorable moments.
He said he initially believed the housemates were still adjusting to their new environment but became concerned after watching their preparations for the wager task.
“Too many of you were just not there. I thought it was just day two and you all were trying to acclimatise,” he said.
“Then the wager task happened, but the build-up to it was lackadaisical, especially from the ladies. I did not want to think too much of it.”
Ebuka said the pool party also failed to produce the level of excitement expected from the contestants.
“But then, I watched the pool party. It was more like I did not watch it because I went to bed at some point. It was not just it,” he said.
The host urged the housemates to become more proactive and take greater control of their experience in the house.
“I have been trying to find the word to describe the week, and I think the right word to use is that there are so many of you waiting for things to happen, and not many of you are making things happen,” he added.
His remarks served as a wake-up call to the contestants as the reality show entered its second week.
