Eminem’s half-brother, Nathan “Nate” Kane Mathers, has reacted to their mother Debbie Nelson’s death.
One day after the “Mockingbird” hitmaker’s mother died, following a battle with advanced lung cancer at the age of 69, his sibling shared how he is coping with the news.
“Hatred and mixed emotions today,” the 38-year-old wrote via his Instagram Story on Tuesday.

After Nelson died on Monday following a battle with lung cancer, the 38-year-old said he was feeling “Hatred and mixed emotions today.”

Eminem — born Marshall Bruce Mathers III — hasn’t yet publicly commented on his mother’s passing after TMZ reported her death earlier this week.
Nate’s reaction also comes following his and Eminem’s years-long estrangement from Nelson, who welcomed her sons with two different men.
At eight years old, Nate was placed into foster care. Eminem later adopted his younger brother when Nate was 16 years old.

Their late mother welcomed Nate with Fred Samara Jr., about 14 years after she gave birth to Eminem during her relationship with Marshall Bruce Mathers, Jr.
The 52-year-old is known for using his tumultuous relationship with his mother as inspiration for his songs, including his 2002 hit “Cleanin’ Out My Closet.”
Nearly two decades before her death, Nelson spoke about her rocky relationship with her sons during a 2008 interview with the Village Voice.
“I’m not ever gonna give up on my kids. I won’t give up on anybody,” Nelson said. “There’s hope for everybody. It’s a matter of just basically swallowing your pride. It’s like a cashed check. It’s over, it’s done. You need to move on.”

Although it’s unknown where Eminem and his mother’s relationship stood at the time of her death, he previously rapped about wanting to make amends with her on his 2013 song titled “Headlights.”
“I went in headfirst, never thinking about who what I said hurt / My mom probably got it the worst,” he rapped.
The father of three also went on to add that he was “mad I didn’t get the chance to thank you for being my mom and my dad.”

In September, a source told InTouch Weekly that Eminem helped his mother financially. However, it’s unknown if Nate did the same.Instagram/nathankanemathers
Three months before Nelson’s death, InTouch Weekly reported that she had “very limited amount of time [left].”
“There are not many options [for Debbie],” the outlet’s source said in September. “She is currently staying between the cancer center and with family members.”
The source also claimed that Eminem was likely unaware of his mother’s rapidly declining health as he had not communicated with her for “years” leading up to her death.
“He’s good to his mom. He makes sure he takes care of her, but they don’t really talk,” the insider alleged. “It would be good for both of them [to communicate]. This could give them the chance to reconcile.”
