Eminem is feeding health care workers in his hometown of Detroit -- and making them smile, too.
The rapper, whose given name is Marshall Mathers, sent pasta to front line caregivers treating the novel coronavirus at Henry Ford Hospital, according to a social media post from Henry Ford Health System.
The twist? He attached a "Mom's Spaghetti" label to the food -- a nod to his Oscar-winning 2002 song, "Lose Yourself," in which he raps, "There's vomit on his sweater already/mom's spaghetti."
"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!" read the Instagram post from Henry Ford Health System.
A representative for Eminem told ABC News that the musician, 47, and his Marshall Mathers Foundation partnered with the restaurant group Union Joints to provide the spaghetti to health care workers, and added that they will be continuing this at area hospitals over the next few weeks.
