“Congratulations This is the best WOW,” 50 wrote to X on April 5 alongside a photo of Hailie Jade’s baby boy.

Elliot will carry his grandfather’s legacy with his middle name, which is Em’s real first name.
Fans were ecstatic to find out Elliot’s middle name ties to his grandpa, along with his initials being EMM. “When he’s 10 he’ll be saying “my Grandpa is Eminem” .. coolest flex ever,” one person wrote.
Another added: “You’re gonna be an awesome gruncle!”
Hailie Jade married Evan McClintock in May 2024 after getting engaged a year prior. 50 Cent was among those in attendance at the private ceremony.
50 Cent and Eminem remain close friends after meeting over two decades ago and teaming up on tracks like “Patiently Waiting,” “Crack a Bottle” and more.
50 praised Em’s The Death of Slim Shady album last summer and remains open to the long-rumored joint album fans have been clamoring for.
“That would be great,” Em told SiriusXM’s Shade 45 in December of the project. “We just gotta stop bulls–tting and just do it. I would never say it’s not possible, what the f–k?!”
The Queens icon felt inspired after hearing Em’s words. “Looks like I’ll be back in the booth after all ! Just gotta do this residency in Vegas first,” he wrote to X.
