Mariah Carey Addresses Beef with Eminem Over ‘8 Mile’ Movie Role

Are Mariah Carey and Eminem still beefing?

During a game of Plead the Fifth during her Wednesday, Oct. 1 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the Songbird Supreme was asked whether she and the rapper were feuding over a role in Eminem’s autobiographical movie 8 Mile.

“This summer, a music producer claimed the real reason why you and Eminem started beefing was because he approached you about playing his mom in 8 Mile,” Cohen, 57, asked Carey, 56. “Is there any truth to that?”

“From what I heard, there is truth to that, but I don’t think that he actually — Well, who knows who approached who?” Carey, who released the album Here For It All in September, replied.

Cohen asked if that ignited “the beef.” “No. I mean, maybe,” Carey responded. “It depends what he’s thinking. I really don’t care.”

“Like, whatever he’s said, then I’m that, fine. Not really,” she concluded. “But that’s a rap lyric.”

In June, during an appearance on the TFU podcast, music producer Damion “Damizza” Young claimed that Eminem, 52, wanted Carey to appear in 8 Mile as his mother.

Carey’s “insecurities kicked in big time” when she was approached by the rapper for the role, which ultimately went to Kim Basinger.

Carey and Eminem’s alleged feud dates back to when Eminem claimed that he and Carey were romantically involved in the early aughts.

“Yes, me and Mariah did have a relationship for about a good six, seven months,” Eminem reportedly said on his Shade 45 channel, per the Detroit News. “[But] it didn’t work. I wasn’t really into what she was into; our personalities collided. She’s a diva, and I’m a little more regular, I guess.”

“I can never deny her talent, but the fact that she denied we ever had something, that’s bad,” he added.

Carey, however, denied any relationship between the two. “I hung out with him, I spoke to him on the phone. I think I was probably with him a total of four times,” Carey told Larry King during a 2002 interview. “And I don’t consider that dating somebody.”

In 2002, she released the song “Clown,” which alludes to Eminem’s relationship claims. “You should’ve never intimated we were lovers / When you know very well we never even touched each other,” she sings.

Years later, in 2006, Eminem called out Carey in the song “Jimmy Crack Corn” by name. “Your mind’s on us like mine’s on Mariah / And y’all are just like her, you’re all f—ing liars.”

Many fans believe Carey took a swing at Eminem in her 2009 “Obsessed” music video, where she dressed up as a stalker in response to his past lyrics.

He responded with the song “The Warning” in 2009 and called out her then-husband Nick Cannon.

“I’m obsessed now? Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee,” Eminem raps. “Wow Mariah, I didn’t expect her to go balls out. Bitch, shut the f— up before I put all them phone calls out you made to my house when you was wild ‘n out before Nick.”
