Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born
in St. Joseph, Missouri on October 17 1972 to his
mother Debbie Briggs-Mathers and his father Marshall
Bruce Mathers II. Debbie was only 15 when Marshall
was born. Not long after Marshall was born, his
father packed his bags and left the family, never to
be seen again. This wasn’t the end of a tough run
for Marshall and his family; it was only just the
beginning. Marshall got moved around to different
houses and because of this he attended many schools.
His mom finally settled down in a house in Detroit.
