5. What’s Daddy Warbucks?
Many people have heard about Eminem’s rough and troubled past. But did you know Eminem’s mother, Debbie Nelson, and father, Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr., were in a band called Daddy Warbucks together? The music-loving family was about to be broken apart when father, Bruce, took off for California, leaving Eminem and Debbie behind. Debbie was a huge music fan and took Eminem to see acts like the Talking Heads and Stevie Nicks in concert. It would be Eminem’s Uncle Ronnie, however, who turned the future superstar onto hip hop. Ronnie would play the-then 12-year-old Ice T’s “Reckless” in 1984 which got the ball rolling. The rest is history.
