Smack dab in the middle of Eminem’s new video for the hit song "Mockingbird" is an unforgettable face that defines Detroit television news.

Every Eminem fan knows that Hailie is Em's daughter -- she's in plenty of songs and is a big part of the rapper's life. So who's this Laney that he references in his newest single, "Mockingbird"?

Daddy?

Fan boards across the Internet have been buzzing with newer fans asking veteran Eminem followers about Laney's connection to the star.

50 Cent has criticised his mentor Eminem for releasing a record urging rappers to end their wars - insisting Slim Shady isn't being realistic. 50 Cent, who has had a long-standing feud with Ja Rule among others, pokes fun at Eminem for releasing hopeful hit Like Toy Soldiers in the pages of hip-hop magazine XXL. He states, "I don't think Eminem is realistic. On certain levels, he's being logical. Anybody, like I said, would want to avoid those type of situations. Eminem's seeing if it's possible to not have these issues. Why? Because he makes hit records."
