Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade McClintock, paid homage to her dad by dressing up her first child as the most hilarious alias from the rap god's iconic career.
On Wednesday, July 16, the podcaster celebrated her newborn son Elliot's fourth month of life by dressing him up as his grandpa's comical character from his 2002 music video for "Without Me." In the video, Em portrays "Rap Boy," who rides around the city as Dr. Dre's sidekick. He wore a red and green jumpsuit with a black cape and a matching mask over his eyes. 23 years later, Baby Elliot wore an adorable onesie inspired by Eminem's superhero costume.

Hailie Jade gave birth to Elliot in March. She announced her pregnancy last October in Eminem's music video for "Temporary" featuring Skylar Grey. The heartwarming video features home movies of Em and Hailie when she was a little girl. At one point in the video, Hailie brings her dad a jersey that says "Grandpa" on the back. Em looked stunned as he held up the sonogram of Hailie's first child. The video instantly cuts to a scene of Em dancing with Hailie at her wedding. A few weeks after the music video dropped, Hailie Jade and her husband, Evan, revealed the baby's gender in an episode of her podcast, Just A Little Shady.
"We're so excited too," Hailie said at the time. "When we first found out, Evan was like ‘They’re going to hunt with me. They’re going to go golfing with me.’ I was like, ‘OK, well, they’re still going to Target with me.'"
As of this report, Eminem hasn't publicly reacted to his grandson's homage to "Rap Boy," but we're sure he was thrilled to see it.
