Music producer

@FMSKY wdym Eminem isn't a notable music producer? He produced some albums for some of the most Influential artists ever. Why shouldn't this be mentioned. This being not notable is an opinion not a fact I think HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 22:17, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eminem's kid

The page refers to his "three daughters", and one of his children identifies as genderfluid/non-binary. This should be updated. 2603:8000:6D00:413:3190:4959:2C5D:29B7 (talk) 16:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, the section in question that makes this mistake is the 'Notes' section. BlueRose710 (talk) 17:15, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:FMSky please see this discussion as per the reason for returning to the gender neutral language of 'children' instead of daughters. Thanks --ImGz (t/c) 18:42, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fortnite.

I have looked over the article, but nowhere I have seen has mentioned Eminem ( Marshal Bruce Mathers III ) being in Fortnite. I believe we should add this. I may have just missed it, And if so, I apologise for the waste of time. Josh.D.Mullins (talk) 10:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
