The Real Deal on Eminem and Mariah Carey's Feud: Damizza Spills the Tea
Controversial film part ignites feud between Eminem and Mariah Carey
Ever since the 2000s, rumors about a feud between Eminem and Mariah Carey have swirled. Now, their former manager, Damion "Damizza" Young, is shedding some light on the explosive spat. It all reportedly started with an unusual movie proposal that ended up, well, in the bedroom.
You’ve probably heard about the lethal lyrics exchanged between these two musical titans, but let's dive into why it all went south.
Eminem's music like "Superman" and "Bagpipes from Baghdad" suggested a passionate encounter with Mariah, claims she denies. Mariah, on the other hand, expressed her disbelief in a 2009 hit called "Obsessed," hinting at a stalker-like situation. Eminem hit back in 2013 with the brutal diss track "The Warning," implying they once shared more than just a professional relationship.
Fast-forward to today, and it seems Damizza is spilling the beans in a podcast interview. According to him, Eminem approached Damizza to connect him with Mariah for his autobiographical film "8 Mile." Damizza said he had misgivings about the whole thing, knowing it’d end badly.
As her career took a nosedive in the late '90s, Mariah was eager to explore acting. Damizza arranged a call between the two mega-stars. Eminem broke the news that he wanted Mariah to portray his mother in the film— despite their minimal age difference of just four years. Apparently, Mariah's insecurities kicked in hard: "She didn't like that at all."
In the end, Kim Basinger nabbed the role as the mother of Eminem's stand-in, Jimmy (portrayed by the real Eminem) in "8 Mile." Meanwhile, Mariah stumbled in the 2001 film "Glitter," which went down in history as a flop.
But the drama between Eminem and Mariah didn't end there. Damizza claims that Mariah took the initiative to pursue Eminem following the movie meeting. On a flight from NY to LA, she suggested a detour to visit Eminem, according to Damizza. Allegedly, their meeting became more intimate than they or their fans anticipated.
Fun facts:
- Mariah Carey's former manager, Damizza, worked with her for over a decade.
- The role they fought over would eventually go to Kim Basinger—an Oscar-winning actress 19 years older than Eminem.
- Eminem's real mother was only 18 when she gave birth to him.
