Eminem made headlines in the past by dissing his mother in his lyrics. Recently, he celebrated Mother's Day in a unique way.
The Detroit rapper took to Instagram to announce that they teamed up with Unfortunate Portrait to illustrate a Mom's Spaghetti T-shirt. He also encouraged his fans to show their mother how much they care.
The name of the Mother's Day tribute T-shirts was taken from the lyrics of Eminem's Academy Award-winning song "Lose Yourself." In the song, the Detroit rapper raps, "His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti."
"You only get one shot, do not miss your opportunity," the sales pitch reads, which is also derived from the "Lose Yourself" lyrics. The pitch also states that the Mom's Spaghetti T-shirt was only available for three days.
"Vomit not included," a disclaimer in the sales pitch reads. The limited edition run of shirts are available in two colorways, which are black and white, according to Hip Hop DX.
In his song "Headlights," Eminem apologized to his mother, Debbie Mathers. It is a collaboration song with Nate Ruess, who recently performed at the FestivALTAZ music festival in Phoenix, Arizona, AZ Central reported.
"I went in headfirst, never thinking about who what I said hurt in what verse," Eminem raps in the "Headlights" lyrics. "My mom probably got it the worst, the brunt of it, but as stubborn as we are."
"Did I take it too far?" Eminem continues in the "Headlights" lyrics. "'Cleaning Out My Closet' and all them other songs. But regardless, I don't hate you 'cause, Ma, you're still beautiful to me, 'cause you're my mom."
Based on Eminem's childhood and relationships and co-written by the Detroit rapper and Jeff Bass, "Cleanin' Out My Closet" was a serious yet sarcastic song that depicts the rapper venting his anger towards his mother for the way he was raised by her. Watch the music video here:
