Eminem donates ‘Mom’s Spaghetti’ meal pots to hospital workers in Detroit

Gulf Today Report

Rapper Eminem gave Detroit health care workers this week by distributing "Mom's Spaghetti," infamously referenced in his hit song "Lose Yourself."

The tubs of spaghetti had labels that read "Thank you frontline caregivers." They were also marked with the Shady Records logo.

Henry Ford Health System, based in Eminem's hometown of Detroit, posted about the gift Tuesday on Twitter, joking that their workers "lost themselves" in the meal.

The post of the medical facility's Instagram account read, "Our #HealthcareHeroes 'lost themselves' in the delicious Mom's Spaghetti donated by Detroit's very own, @eminem. Thank you for providing a special meal for our team members!"

Detroit Medical Center also received a donation, funded by Eminem and the Marshall Mathers Foundation.

The name "Mom's Spaghetti" comes from the lyrics to Eminem's 2002 track "Lose Yourself".

"Lose Yourself," released in 2002, is featured in Eminem's semi-autobiographical film "8 Mile." The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003. He performed the song at the 2020 Oscars, 18 years after the song was released.

Earlier this week, Eminem marked 12 years of sobriety on his social media accounts.
