She may only be sixteen but she is already following in her father’s footsteps by causing controversy. Hailie Mathers, daughter of rapper Eminem has been forced to apologize over comments she made on Twitter about Taylor Swift and Harry Styles’ reported romance.

She accused Taylor of “whoring around” after seeing pictures of the We are Never Ever Getting Back Together singer and One Direction star Styles holding hands and canoodling in New York recently.

Hailie wrote through Twitter: "If @taylorswift13 is really dating the love of my life @Harry_Styles i will not be happy.!"

"Dear @taylorswift13, please stop wh*ring around with every guy you see. We all know you're only doing it so you can make another album.

"I am never, ever, everrrrr, listening to your music againnnn @taylorswift13. LIKE EVER."

Harsh words that provoked an onslaught of criticism from other Twitter users.

At first, Mathers was reluctant to revoke her comment but eventually was forced to apologize saying: "Wow. I didn't mean for people to react to my tweet in the way that they have it was just a bit of fun! Sorry @taylorswift13 for my immaturity."

Mathers added: "I believe I'm entitled to my own opinion, but that got out of control. I don't understand why there are 'news' articles written about it !"

Rumours have been flying after Taylor and Harry were seen holding hands after a One Direction gig in Madison Square Gardens but it is yet to be confirmed whether they are officially an item or not.
