(The AEGIS Alliance) – DETROIT, MICHIGAN – Eminem is giving back to his hometown of Detroit where healthcare workers are battling the coronavirus daily.
The world-famous rapper donated “Mom’s Spaghetti,” which is a notable reference to an opening line in his song “Los Yourself” that won an Oscar in 2002.
Local catering company Union Joints delivered the food to the Henry Ford Health System this past week. The tubs of spaghetti had labels on them that said “Mom’s Spaghetti” and notes that said “Thank you frontline caregivers” along with the logo for Shady Records.
“Our #HealthcareHeroes “lost themselves” in the delicious Mom’s Spaghetti donated by Detroit’s very own, @eminem. Thank you for providing a special meal for our team members!” @HenryFordNews wrote on Twitter and Instagram.
