Eminem's daughter says she cried while watching a music video

Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade gets surprisingly emotional when she hears her father's music.

The 28-year-old shared this weekend on her “Just a Little Shady Podcast” that she “refuses to[s] to watch the music video for his newly released song “Somebody Save Me” again and also listen to his other song “Temporary”.

“I don't think I can do that again. I've definitely cried. Every time I hear all of that…” she said. “Between this and 'Temporary'… I can't. I was audibly sobbing, I think on both songs, but especially on 'Temporary,'” she added, referring to another song from the rapper's latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).”

“Somebody Save Me,” whose chorus is sung by Jelly Roll, addresses Eminem's past struggles with addiction and includes home videos of Hailie Jade as a child, as well as apologies for the emotional pain he caused her in the past.

JELLY ROLL: EMINEMS REQUEST FOR A DUET IS THE “COOLEST” MOMENT OF HIS CAREER

“When I watch the video again and listen to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job growing up that I didn't realize how bad things were. But now, as an adult looking back, it's so scary to think about it and I think that's why I get so emotional. Just the thought that that could have happened and that's obviously the point of the song,” Hailie Jade said on her podcast.

She continued, “But I'm telling you, if you've ever lost an addict or a loved one, I feel for you, and I feel that way too. But it's a great video. It's fun to see clips like that of us when we were younger, even 'Mockingbird,' but I can't even listen to that anymore without crying, the older I get the less I can listen to the songs. But it's fun to see those clips, just not in that context.”

In Eminem's other song, “Temporary,” the Detroit-raised rapper looks to the future and offers his daughter support after his death, saying, “You're gonna get over me and move on/You can put me on repeat in a song/But don't you dare shed a tear, what did I tell you?”

“I feel like my parents did such a good job growing up that I didn't realize how bad things were.”

The “Lose Yourself” rapper celebrated his 16th anniversary of sobriety in April and shared a photo of the chip he received on Instagram.

In 2007, he suffered a near-fatal overdose of sleeping pills and later told the New York Times that at the height of his addiction, he took 20 pills a day.

He thanked Hailie Jade and her siblings, Alaina Marie from his ex-wife Kim's sister, and Stevie Lane from another relationship with Kim, as well as his younger half-brother Nathan, all of whom he adopted, for helping him get sober.
