Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade discusses her 'botheration' about relationship

Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade does not want to be consumed by her father's celebrity fame.

Hailie Jade recently hosted a Ask Me Anything episode of her podcast, but she shouldn't be limited to questions about the famous rapper.

In response to questions about the Slim Shady artist, Hailie discussed how it feels to be asked just about her father.

"Does it bother me when I get asked about my dad?" Hailie said on her Just a Little Shady podcast on September 16.

"Because a lot of questions were about my dad."

As she put it, "The best way to say this is yes and no… Honestly, it's to a point. I obviously expect it. And there's certain things I can understand why people are just genuinely curious about, as anyone would be when you've kind of grown up half in the spotlight."

"Once it gets past that point, though, I'm like, 'I'm a person too,'" she said of growing up in the public glare.

The 26-year-old stated that she is more than just Eminem's daughter.

"So, it becomes tricky because I get it," Hailie added. "But then, after a certain extent, I'm not going to speak on behalf of anyone. I'm not going to answer stuff that I don't specifically have the answers to."

Hailie explained how the attention paid to her father affected her life.

"I feel like growing up, when it would happen, I would get more bothered by it because I was like, 'Why do people care?'" Hailie noted.

"I was young and I didn't totally understand the situation so I was like, that's my dad. I don't ask you about your dad."

Though certain inquiries were OK to respond to, Hailie noted that others might be inappropriate.

"And there are certain things that, yeah, that's just weird that you want to know that, but then things that have been a little bit shared I understand why people are like, 'OK is this true?'" Hailie added.

"Some stuff it's just like, that's weird. Let's move on."
