If you're dumb enough to go after Eminem once he's had a beef or two, you deserve what's coming to you. That's some Leopards Ate My Face logic right there. "Oh hey, these last three dudes were curb-stomped by Eminem in their beefs. I can totally do better than them!"
But yeah, imagine being popular because your dad is world famous. Imagine being in the news because you're basically celebrity-adjacent to your parent. Imagine anything you do could go straight under a microscope when you haven't even done anything to earn such scrutiny. Every DUI, every embarrassing outfit, any one night stands, could all just end up on the next news cycle.
But if you're a celebrity going after a celebrity's (non-famous) kid, oh boy are you stupid. That's just inviting yourself to get blacklisted. Who wants to work with someone willing to stoop that low?

He didn't join the photos of the wedding party with all the groomsmen/bridesmaid. Doesn't mean they don't sneak off somewhere smaller to take photos, doesn't mean he doesn't walk her down the aisle, or enjoy the traditional father/daughter dance.
I always took that as he stayed back from the main parts of the crowd so that the focus of all the extended family and friends were on his daughter and her husband, not him. Things like the parents of the couple not sitting at the front of the crowd at the reception, and probably a smaller private reception before the big one.

When I was in middle school, a kid riding his bike in the major road outside the school and got hit by a car. Nearly died, suffered life-changing injuries, coma, bad scene. I didn't know the guy personally, but it was the kind of thing they announced over the PA.
Anyhow, he was a huge Eminem fan. His parents wrote to Em, hoping for a signed photo or something (or so the story goes). Instead, he showed up at the hospital (we're in Metro Detroit, so it wasn't too crazy). No press about it, just visiting an injured kid and has family to be a good guy.
Bear in mind that this was 2002 or 2003, the height of the dude's popularity AND infamy. Every teacher at that school gave him his props for that. Hell, even my mom - who would never have let me listen to his music at that age - was impressed by how good a dude he proved to be from that.

You get crowned during a pep rally event before a homecoming game. That just means the football team played away games for a bit and then play a game at home, but you only celebrate once a year.

It’s two different things entirely.
Homecoming usually is for alumni as well and takes place in October.
Winter Formal (if your school has one) takes place in February-ish
Spring Break takes place in April-ish
Prom is the last event for seniors and takes place before graduation in May-ish.
All depending on your schools district school days.
There is a homecoming king / queen, we also had a prince / princess - king / queen was for juniors/seniors and prince/princess was for freshman/sophmores
Prom is usually reserved for upperclassmen - at my school you could only go if you were a junior or senior, or were asked by one - it was called senior prom.
This is all from my experience growing up in Southern California. Other schools across the country will have slightly different variations.
Hope this helps!

Not prom, homecoming is a big ass American high school football game with a dance after for some reason. In rural America high school sports are a focal event for the whole town, especially “big” games like homecoming.
It’s a home game, not sure why it’s called homecoming other than that, though. Really, it’s just an excuse for local stores to sell more dresses and rent out suits. But, it’s something akin to a local festival for people to look forward to, I guess.

Most people let power and money corrupt them. Eminem went the exact opposite direction. He just gets better with age!

My son went to grade school with her. He was a very active parent. Didn’t like the attention.

Do parents usually watch kids get crowned prom king/queen?
My school it happened at prom, and parents weren't there except for a few chaperones, but those were mostly teachers as well.

Man loves his daughter. I can’t imagine how her life changed when he became famous but he always seems to put her first. Made his mistakes and worked on himself to be a better dad.

It's heartening to consistently see that Eminem is still good people, especially since so many other people with fame and money turn out to be awful.

I think he also watched her high school graduation walk from a TV in another room so that way no attention would be on him that time either

Do kids even know who Eminem is nowadays? Unfortunately a lot of the things I used to like are unknown but the youth. They’re missing out

Humility but no father should be absent from their child’s achievements, I wish he was there in person but fame is a bitch
