New
York
(ANI):
Rap
star
Eminem's
mother
Debbie
Nelson
has
rubbished
her
son"s
claims
in
his
songs
that
he
had
a
very
difficult
childhood.
She
writes
in
her
tell-all
book
'My
Son
Marshall,
My
Son
Eminem" that
her
son
resorted
to
all
that
crap
only
to
become
famous
as
a
rap
star.
"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," the
New
York
Post
quotes
her
as
writing
in
the
book"s
introduction.
She
also
says
by
way
of
the
book
that
years
of
verbal
and
physical
attacks
by
her
son"s
fans
have
now
got
her
through
pretending.
"This
book
is
my
way
of
setting
the
record
straight,"
she
writes.
The
book
also
reveals
that
as
a
child,
Eminem
was
a
shy
boy
who
was
so
jealous
of
his
mother's
new
man
that
he
would
not
let
him
sleep
with
her
on
their
wedding
night.
Written
through
ghost-scribe
and
top
British
author
Annette
Witheridge,
the
book
further
reveals
that
the
singer
beat
his
mother
up
on
his
23rd
birthday,
and
that
he
does
not
remember
1999
when
he
first
married
his
childhood
sweetheart
Kim
Mathers.
However,
despite
all
these
sufferings,
Nelson
does
not
condemn
her
son.
"My
son
never
intended
for
me
to
become
an
object
of
hatred,"
she
writes
in
the
book.
Representatives
for
Eminem
