But he is well-known as Eminem, a rapper. 

When Eminem was younger, Marshall and Rae took a divorce and stayed apart. After his divorce in 1975, he was living in San Diego, California. The reason for Bruce and Rae’s divorce is the erratic behavior of Bruce. A few songs of Eminem were accusing his father’s activities.
