Eminem mourns Dolly Parton: 'She was an icon in every sense'
Letter from Dolly Parton to Eminem
In a heartfelt X post, Eminem shared a personal note from Dolly Parton that deeply moved him. He expressed regret they never met, praised her as a superstar beyond genres, and thanked her for her kind words. The post, accompanied by a photo of the letter, has drawn millions of views and emotional responses from fans.
Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense.

"Even thought I don't know a lot about rap music..."
What incredible humility. She doesn't claim expertise in another music genre just because she's at the apex of another.
Such a role model.

What a precious gem that letter is! Eminem's ability to empathise through his lyrics is just unparalleled. And, given the breadth of topics he covered over his career, that empathy "touched" people of all backgrounds. Whether you are a kid getting bullied at school or a super star addicted to fame [1] - Em has you covered!

I thought writing a letter to Eminem was a bad idea.
Dear Slim...
