Rap superstar Eminem reportedly was on hand to see his daughter named homecoming queen of Chippewa Valley High School on Friday night but stayed out of the public view, according to parents who were at the proceedings.

Hailie Scott was voted homecoming queen and Tyler Knepp, a self-described nerd who loves Star Trek, was named homecoming king as the Big Reds defeated Anchor Bay High School at Chippewa Valley’s stadium in Clinton Township.

“Hailie came out with her mother Kim (Scott) when she was introduced with all the other kids but her father watched from inside the school because he didn’t want to cause a scene -- he wanted Hailie to have her own moment,” said one parent who asked not to be identified.

Several parents said Eminem -- Detroit-born and Macomb County-raised Marshall Mathers -- wanted to watch the football game and homecoming proceedings from a classroom inside of the high school on 19 Mile Road at Romeo Plank Road.

“I heard our people had him in the cafeteria so he could see what was going on outside, but I can’t confirm that,” said George Sobah, president of the Chippewa Valley Board of Education.

One parent said Eminem was beaming with pride even though he was keeping out of sight. “He opened the door and looked out like - ‘That’s my daughter!’ He just looked like a proud father,” the parent said.

During the homecoming parade, Hailie rode in a convertible driven by Clinton Township philanthropist Jim George, a neighbor.

Word of Hailie Scott’s crowning accomplishment was a hot topic on social media after a screengrab from a local TV news report on her was circulated on Twitter.

“Huge congrats for Hailie Scott and Tyler Knepp winning hc queen and king!” Megan Luther said in a tweet. “You guys are beautiful and I’m so happy for you!”

Hailie Scott, 17, a senior at Chippewa Valley, was voted queen by the student body and faculty members. Parents of students who are friends with her describe her as a smart, athletic, and caring young woman. She has attended Chippewa Valley Schools from the start of her academic career beginning at Cherokee Elementary School.

“I think all of the kids in the district have shown respect to their family and just let her live a normal life here out of the spotlight,” one parent said. “I think that speaks very highly of the Chippewa Valley community to not try to take advantage of their fame.”

Eminem has publicly talked about his love and devotion to his daughter, whose voice was included when she was a little girl on his track “My Dad’s Gone

Crazy,” back in 2002.

Eminemn’s publicist, Dennis Dennehy, did not respond to an email for comment. Eminem’s eighth album, “The Marshal Mathers LP 2,” is due out on Nov. 5.

Tell me that Em isn't a good dad...he is.

[Hopsinshadie]

It really seems weird that a high school kid has Eminem as a dad. He probably is the youngest looking dad at the school. Could probably pass for an older brother.

Now the whole world knows which high school Hailie goes to and the address of it.

I think most of us didn't really think about that. And I'm a bit concerned that you did
