Meaning of 97 Bonnie & Clyde by Eminem

’97 Bonnie & Clyde is a rap song by rapper Eminem with lyrics that see the rapper rapping controversially about murdering his former wife Kimberly Anne Scott and proceeding to enlist the help of his unknowing accomplice, his young daughter Hailie Jade to dispose of the corpse in a lake. Hailie was only a little toddler then. Eminem wrote this song about Kim’s murder as a result of the anger and frustration he felt when Kim prevented him from seeing his daughter Hailie.

In a 1999 interview with Q magazine – shortly after Eminem and Kim got married for the first time, Eminem said he wrote the lyrics just so he could get back at Kim. He went on to explain that the song no longer meant anything to him and that he totally still loved Kim.

The song, which is a prequel to his 2000 song Kim, gets its title from the notorious American outlawed duo Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow, collectively remembered as Bonnie and Clyde.
