Nathan "Nate Kane" Mathers (born February 3,1986; Kansas City, Missouri) is rapper, DJ, entrepreneur and actor. He is son of Debbie Mathers and Fred Samara, Jr and maternal half-brother of Eminem.
At 8 years old, Nathan was placed in foster care, Eminem told Rolling Stone in 2004: “I tried to apply for full custody when I was 20, but I didn’t have the means.” Nearly a decade later, he gained custody of his half-brother, who was then 16. Now, Nathan credits Eminem with being a positive influence in his life. In 2003, Nathan leaked "Straight from the lab" disc, causing tracks on Encore to be replaced.
