Eminem's grandmother dies at 87: Was lyricist close to her?
Eminem has lost another close family member, with his maternal grandmother Betty Kresin dying on Tuesday, 10th March at her home in Missouri at the age of 87. But the relationship seems to be in question.
Sources close to the family confirmed to TMZ that she died from complications related to breast cancer.
The lyricist, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, was not present when she passed.
The loss comes just over a year after the death of his mother, Debbie Nelson, who died in December 2024 following a battle with advanced lung cancer.
In an August 2000 content conversation with London's Mirror , Kresin spoke candidly about the painful distance that had grown between them as her grandson's fame, and notoriety, grew.
