Eminem Donated ‘Mom’s Spaghetti’ meals for Healthcare workers.
As Eminem completed 12 years of sobriety a couple of days ago, he decided to celebrate it by sending “Mom’s Spaghetti” meals to Healthcare workers in Detroit Medical Center who are working & fighting day & night against the Coronavirus pandemic. The information was not released by Eminem’s team but shared by healthcare workers on social media. “Thank you, frontline caregivers – Shady Records” written on the Spaghetti cups.

Earlier this month, Eminem’s fellow rapper Royce da 5’9″ also sponsored lunch and dinner for medical workers at Beaumont Hospital in Dearborn.
Em fans (or anyone who was even marginally paying attention in the early 2000s) may recognize the spaghetti’s name as a reference to the Oscar-winning song Lose Yourself from the film 8 Mile: Just in case you forgot, the song goes, “His palms are sweaty, knees are weak, arms are heavy / There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.”
Paul Rosenberg, Eminem’s manager, confirmed to The News that donations to hospitals will continue in the coming weeks once Union Joints “had the manpower required to carry out the orders.”
This isn’t the first time Eminem has dished up Mom’s Spaghetti: at an album pop-up in 2017, Union Joints assisted him in creating some 8 Mile-themed spaghetti dishes.
The staff at Detroit Medical Center similarly posted a picture on social media, claiming that they, too, had received free supply of the spaghetti meal. They wrote in the caption,“Thank you Union Joints for the generous donation of meals to support our staff. They served one of their specialities, also a favourite of Eminem, titled “Mom’s Spaghetti.” We offer our heartfelt thanks and are grateful for the support”.
