Newborn With a Grillz?! Eminem’s Longtime Rap Buddy Stat Quo Gifts Baby Elliot a Diamond Tooth — Says ‘Every Legend Starts With a Shine’

TimWestwoodTV on X: "Eminem, D12 & Stat Quo Throwback 2004 now on #TimWestwoodTV #TBT https://t.co/Pl12Ffsc5j https://t.co/TH5X84Pruz" / X

Move over baby blankets and lullabies — Eminem’s grandson just got his first taste of hip-hop bling. And no, we’re not talking about a onesie with headphones on it. We’re talking about a literal diamond tooth.

That’s right — baby Elliot Marshall McClintock, the newborn son of Hailie Jade (Eminem’s beloved daughter) and Evan McClintock, has just received what may be the most outrageous baby gift in celebrity history: a fully custom, platinum-framed diamond-encrusted milk tooth from none other than Eminem’s longtime rap comrade, Stat Quo.

“If he’s gonna carry the Shady legacy,” Stat Quo reportedly told close friends, “he might as well start teething in style.”

🎁 The Gift: Diamond Tooth in Velvet Box

Sources close to the Detroit rap circle say the gift arrived hand-delivered to Hailie and Evan’s Bloomfield Hills residence just days after baby Elliot’s birth on March 14.

Wrapped in matte black velvet and sealed with a wax stamp shaped like a mic, the box contained a bizarre but undeniably luxurious item: a replica infant tooth, made from platinum and laced with a 0.5 carat VVS diamond. Underneath it, a handwritten note read:

“Start ‘em young. Can’t spell legacy without Elliot. Welcome to the family, little legend.”
— Uncle Stat

And yes — the box even played an instrumental beat when opened. Sources say the beat sounds suspiciously similar to an unreleased Shady Records track from 2006.

👶 Not Just a Gag Gift?

While fans online initially thought the story was a prank or a tongue-in-cheek gesture, Stat Quo is reportedly dead serious about little Elliot’s rap potential.

“Elliot’s not just a baby, man,” Stat Quo said during a casual Twitch stream. “He’s rap royalty. Look at his bloodline — you think we’re gonna wait until he’s 18 to start the training? Hell no. That tooth is just step one.”

The rapper claims he’s already started drafting rhymes for a toddler-level mixtape titled “Pacifier Flow Vol. 1”, and joked that the baby’s first word better be “bars.”

😳 Eminem’s Reaction: ‘He Thought It Was a Joke… Then He Didn’t’

Eminem, known for being fiercely protective of his daughters and now his first grandchild, reportedly didn’t know how to react at first. One family friend says:

“At first Marshall laughed. Then he looked at the diamond and said, ‘Wait, is this real?’ And when we said yes, he just shook his head and muttered something about how Stat has finally lost it. But he didn’t throw it away — he actually placed it in his private trophy room next to his first Grammy.”

Classic Em.

💎 A Tradition in the Making?

Apparently, Stat Quo has been waiting years for this moment. Back in 2021, he allegedly told Eminem, “The day Hailie has a baby, I’m blessing that kid with hip-hop royalty status — whether y’all like it or not.” At the time, everyone brushed it off. No one’s laughing now.

Some fans are even calling for the tooth to be displayed at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame someday.

“It’s iconic already,” tweeted one fan. “We’ve seen baby shoes bronzed — but a diamond baby tooth? That’s next-level flex.”

💬 Twitter Reacts: ‘Drake Gonna Send a Diamond Pacifier Next’

Once the news broke, social media went into full meltdown mode.

#DiamondToothBaby trended on X (formerly Twitter) within hours, with fans split between awe and disbelief:

“This kid’s gonna rap before he crawls.”

“Imagine pulling up to preschool with a diamond grill.”

“Drake’s definitely gonna send a platinum rattle now, just wait.”

Even 50 Cent chimed in with a post that simply read:

“Stat done lost his damn mind 😂 but I respect it.”

👑 Elliot: Rap Royalty by Birth?

Though baby Elliot has yet to make any official statements (you know, because… he’s a baby), insiders say Hailie found the gift surprisingly endearing, despite initially being “mildly horrified.”

“She rolled her eyes and laughed,” said a friend. “But then she was like, ‘Well, I guess my dad did raise me in the middle of a rap empire… so this tracks.’”

Eminem reportedly told Hailie:

“Just make sure he doesn’t try to actually wear the thing. It’s probably worth more than my first car.”

📀 What’s Next for the Littlest Shady?

Will Elliot grow up to spit fire like his granddad? Or will the pressure of growing up hip-hop royalty push him in another direction — like jazz flute or yodeling?

Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: this kid already has more drip in his baby teeth than most rappers have in their whole discography.

And as Uncle Stat put it best:

“You either born with it… or you get gifted a diamond tooth on day one.”
