Eminem visited Kim’s father, Casimer Sluck, who had abandoned Kim since birth and was now on his deathbed. Emm came with a bouquet of flowers, on Father’s Day, Eminem wanted to send his ex-wife a final message to the father before he passed away.

In a quiet and unexpected moment this Father’s Day, Eminem — known offstage as Marshall Mathers — made a deeply personal and emotional visit to a hospice facility just outside Detroit. The man he came to see was not a family member, a friend, or even someone he knew well. It was Casimer Sluck, the estranged biological father of his ex-wife, Kimberly Scott — a man who abandoned her as an infant and remained absent for nearly her entire life.

Sluck, now in his late 70s, has spent his final days in hospice care, having been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer earlier this year. According to sources close to the facility, he had not received any visitors — until Sunday.

At around 2:15 p.m., Eminem arrived quietly, unaccompanied and dressed in plain clothes, carrying a modest bouquet of white lilies. Staff members initially didn’t recognize him. “He wasn’t there as a celebrity,” said one nurse. “He was just a man with something on his heart.”

The visit, confirmed by both a family spokesperson and staff at the hospice (who requested anonymity), lasted less than 20 minutes. But for those present, it was unforgettable.

According to those briefed on the moment, Eminem entered the small, dimly lit room where Casimer lay unconscious and breathing faintly. After placing the flowers beside the bed, he sat down and remained quiet for several minutes, simply staring at the man who, by many accounts, had left emotional scars in the life of Kim — Eminem’s ex-wife and the mother of his daughter Hailie.

Then, in a calm but steady voice, Eminem reportedly spoke directly to the unconscious man.

“He didn’t come to argue, didn’t come with anger,” said one staff member. “He came to deliver something he felt had to be said — for Kim.”

According to sources, Eminem’s words were clear and deliberate:

“She didn’t need you to become who she is. But maybe you needed to know she made it anyway — stronger, better, and full of love. That’s your daughter.”

He then added:

“This isn’t forgiveness. It’s closure.”

Though no one expected him to show up, those who know Eminem best say it fits his character more than it may appear.

“He’s always wrestled with pain and the past,” said a longtime friend. “This wasn’t about Casimer. This was about Kim. About saying something she couldn’t — or wouldn’t — say. And doing it on Father’s Day? That was intentional.”

Sources say Kim was informed of the visit afterward and was “surprised, but deeply moved.”

“She didn’t ask him to go,” said a close family friend. “But she understood why he did. Marshall has a way of expressing emotions that most people run from. That day, he carried something for her — a final message.”

Casimer Sluck passed away early Monday morning, just hours after Eminem’s visit.

The white lilies Marshall left remained at the bedside, with a small card that simply read:
“For what never was — and what she became.”

Though Eminem has made a career from raw expression, rarely has he invited the public into moments this private. His complicated relationship with Kim Scott has been both publicly tumultuous and, in recent years, quietly respectful. They share custody and remain in contact, co-parenting their daughter Hailie and maintaining a fragile but matured understanding of their shared past.

Fans on social media reacted with shock and admiration as the story emerged. One user posted:
“Only Em would turn a visit to a dying man into poetry and closure. That’s growth.”

Another wrote:
“He didn’t do it for headlines. He did it for peace — and for her.”

While there has been no official comment from Eminem or Kim, sources close to the rapper say the act was “never meant for the world to see,” but became known after a hospice staff member shared the story anonymously, inspired by what they called “a moment of humanity from a man known for his storms.”

As Father’s Day passes, it leaves behind this rare glimpse into Eminem’s quieter side — not the rapper, not the icon, but the man who walked into a room of silence and left behind something louder than any song: a message of strength, truth, and unexpected grace.
