“And if you ask me to, Daddy’s gonna buy you a mockingbird, I’ma give you the world,” including a father-daughter dance. Eminem gave away his daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, over the weekend. The event offered a chance for fans to see the rap star’s softer side, as he was seen emotionally dancing with his newlywed daughter.
Hailie tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Evan McClintock, on Saturday (May 18) at Greencrest Manor, a French-style château located in Battle Creek, Michigan, USA.
Some notable guests included 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Jimmy Iovine, TMZ reported.
On Monday (May 20), Hailie took to her Instagram page to share a carousel of photographs posing in her sumptuous white gown alongside Evan in front of the wedding venue.

Eminem, who has showcased his protective and devoted fatherly side in several songs, such as Hailie’s Song, Mockingbird, and When I’m Gone, was photographed sharing a moving moment with his biological daughter, dancing with Hailie in front of other wedding guests.
The rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, was suited and booted as he led Hailie — who looked stunning in her bridal gown — on the dance floor as tons of people looked on, TMZ reported.
While Hailie was flashing a big smile, Eminem stayed true to his Slim Shady-ness by rocking classic sunglasses.
Moreover, the bride, who hosts a podcast titled Just A Little Shady, flaunted her figure in a gorgeous strapless dress with mermaid detailing, while Marshall sported a black and chic tux paired with Nike Air Jordans.
