Mariah Carey Opens Up About Feud with Eminem on Watch What Happens Live

Mariah Carey addressed her ongoing feud with Eminem on Watch What Happens Live. During a game of “Plead The Fifth!,” she responded to questions about her earnings from “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and Nick Cannon insuring his balls for $10 million. When asked about the reason behind her beef with Eminem, Carey acknowledged that a music producer claimed it started when Eminem approached her to play his mom in 8 Mile. The feud between Carey and Eminem began in the early 2000s when Eminem claimed they were in a relationship, which Carey denied. The feud escalated with Eminem referencing her in his songs and Carey responding with her own lyrics. Eminem released a diss track titled “The Warning” in 2009, targeting Carey after she mocked him in her “Obsessed” video. Music producer Damion “Damizza” Young revealed that Eminem wanted Carey to play his character’s mother in 8 Mile, but she declined due to insecurities.
