Eminem Gives Heartfelt Tribute to His Mother in Abu Dhabi Concert
Eminem subtly acknowledged the death of his mother, Debbie Nelson, during his performance at the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix on December 7, 2024.
In a poignant gesture, he omitted the controversial line “F**k you, Debbie” from his song “Without Me,” though the crowd sang it anyway.
This was a notable change, as Eminem’s relationship with his mother was tumultuous, often referenced in his songs.
His more recent works, like “Headlights,” indicated a reconciliation, and his absence of the line could be seen as a respectful tribute.
