Los Angeles, Oct 3 (NationPress) Singer-songwriter Mariah Carey has addressed whether she and Eminem are still embroiled in a feud. The artist appeared on ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’ recently.
During the show, she was questioned about the ongoing tension related to a role in Eminem's autobiographical film ‘8 Mile’, as reported by ‘People’ magazine.
Her answer was somewhat ambiguous. In a game of Plead the Fifth, the host asked her, "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’. Is there any truth to that?"
Mariah Carey, aged 56, replied, "From what I heard, there is truth to that, but I don't think that he actually. Well, who knows who approached who?"
Cohen then inquired if that sparked "the beef.” She responded, “No. I mean, maybe. It depends what he’s thinking. I really don’t care. Like, whatever he’s said, then I’m that, fine. Not really. But that’s a rap lyric.”
According to ‘People’, in June, music producer Damion “Damizza” Young revealed on the TFU podcast that Eminem, 52, wanted Carey to play his mother in 8 Mile. He noted that Carey’s "insecurities kicked in big time" when approached for the role, which ultimately went to Kim Basinger.
The alleged feud between Carey and Eminem reportedly began when Eminem claimed they had a romantic relationship. "Yes, me and Mariah did have a relationship for about a good six, seven months," Eminem reportedly stated on his Shade 45 channel, as per 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.”
However, Mariah Carey denied any romantic involvement, stating, "I hung out with him, I spoke to him on the phone. I think I was probably with him a total of four times. And I don’t consider that dating somebody."
