The We Made You' star has had minimal contact with his dad Marshall Mathers, Jr. since he abandoned him when he was just a baby and admits he can't imagine ever neglecting his own children in the same way.

He said:'I never knew him, never met him, never knew him. I don't know if I want to see him. Some people ask me that, and I don't think I do.

"I can't understand how he could leave us. If my kids moved to the edge of the earth, I'd find them. No doubt in my mind. No money, no nothing - if I had nothing I'd find my kids. So there's no excuse."

The hip-hop superstar has a 14-year-old daughter Hailie, his child with ex-wife Kimberley Scott, and two adopted girls Alaina, the child of Kimberley's sister, and Whitney - Kimberley's daughter from a previous relationship.

He is also the legal guardian of his younger half-brother Nathan.

The 37-year-old rap star ' whose real name is Marshall Mathers III ' also spoke about his struggles at school, admitting he was a target for bullies because he moved around so much.

He explained on US TV show '60 Minutes': "I would change schools two, three times a year and that was probably the roughest part.

' got beat up in the bathroom, beat up in the hallways, shoved in the lockers, just, for the most part, being the new kid."
