Eminem's Mom Belies Trailer Trash Background

New York, NY (CNS) - Hip hop wonder Eminem had some not so nice things to say about his mom through his songs. Now, the mom fights back through a book.

Debbie Nelson says her son's trailer trash background is a lie. In her "My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem" tell-all book, she confesses going along with the whole falsehood just to help her son jumpstart his career.

"After his first album, Infinite, flopped, he reinvented himself as white trailer trash with a crazy welfare mom. I was shocked when I first heard the lyrics... but he constantly reassured me it was all a big joke... I went along with it for Marshall's sake," Nelson writes in the book.

She claims her book is one way of stopping the verbal and physical attacks by her son's fans that went through for years.

"This book is my way of setting the record straight."

Top British author Annette Witheridge ghost-scribed the book, which reveals a lot of things starting with Eminem as a shy child who was so jealous of her new man that he wouldn't let him sleep with her on their wedding night. It also divulges on certain claims that the rapper beat his mother up on his 23rd birthday and he does not remember when he first married his on-again, off-again wife Kim in 1999.

Still, Nelson does not blames his son. "My son never intended for me to become an object of hatred," the book continues.

Eminem was unavailable for comment.
