But nobody has been a bigger target for the anger and resentment in his lyrics than those closest to him: his father, who he never met in person, abandoned him and his teenaged mother shortly after his birth. In addition to his biological daughter, Eminem is the adoptive father of two other young women, Alaina and Whitney Mathers, 29 and 20 years old respectively and the niece and daughter of his ex-wife, who has also been a regular target of his ire. But he also managed to alter stereotypes about the criminality of the rap genre in the eyes of the general public. His success shot to a new level in 2002 when he emerged as a cinematographic rebel without a cause, but with a hoodie, in the semi-autobiographical movie 8 Mile, which earned him an Academy Award for best original song. His successes at the top of the charts, and the $220 million that make up his fortune, confirm that status. He took the stage with none other than his most successful and long-lived work, the award-winning Lose Yourself, which 20 years after its release remains the most-listened to rap song of all time, far exceeding one billion views on both Spotify and YouTube.

Eminem received birthday wishes from the likes of 50 Cent, Royce Da 5'9" and Chuck D on Monday (October 17) as he celebrated turning 50 years old.
