Nathan Samra-Mathers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nathan Kane Samra-Mathers (born 3 February 1986) is a hip hop artist (Nate Kane) from Detroit. He is most well known for being the younger half-brother of Eminem. They share the same mother, Debbie Mathers. He is featured in several of Eminem's music videos ("The way I am", "Without me"), and also appeared in numerous backstage scenes on the Up In Smoke Tour DVD.
At the 2001 Detroit Music Awards, Samra-Mathers accepted Eminem's awards and delivered a speech.
In 2001, Eminem fought for Nathan’s custody. Nathan now lives with Eminem. When asked about his brother, Eminem has replied; "Yo, my brother is mad cool. He's the most popular kid in the school. He's got like 10 girlfriends. He even dyed his hair blonde and got his ears pierced. He looks just like me! He came to my concert and the girls were all over him. They didn't even want to get with me. He was sitting on his girl's lap and I was like 'You go, you little pimp.' He is cool and we call him Little Nate Dogg."
Nathan's mother has shown more public support towards him than she has for Eminem, stating "I think when Nathan gets out there, he will do far better than Marshall". He also has no claim to the name Mathers.
[edit] Controversy
In 2004 Samra-Mathers was arrested after being caught with a man who was charged with selling ecstasy and marijuana to an undercover police officer.[1]
Kim Mathers, Eminem's ex-wife, said in an interview that he walked out, in February 2006, before filing for divorce, because she had an argument with his brother.
