Eminem Omits Notorious Lyric About Late Mother During Abu Dhabi Performance

The rapper subtly acknowledged his mother Debbie Nelson's recent death by skipping a controversial line in his song 'Without Me.'

Eminem performed at the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix on December 7, five days after his mother, Debbie Nelson, passed away from lung cancer at age 69.
During his performance of 'Without Me,' Eminem chose not to deliver the line 'F**k you Debbie,' allowing fans to sing it instead.
Eminem and his mother had a well-documented tumultuous relationship, which he frequently addressed in his music, including songs like 'Cleanin' Out My Closet' and 'Marshall Mathers.'
Nelson had previously sued Eminem for defamation in 1999 over lyrics in his debut album, winning a small settlement.
Eminem has not publicly commented on his mother's death, while his half-brother, Nate Mathers, expressed 'hatred and mixed emotions' in a social media post following her passing.
