Exposed Secrets: The Real Reason Behind Eminem and Mariah Carey's Screaming Match
Dispute over movie part fuels conflict between Eminem and Mariah Carey
In the world of celebs, rumors about feuds have been flying around for years - and one of the most infamous has been the alleged beef between Eminem and Mariah Carey. Now, her former manager, Damion "Damizza" Young, has spilled the tea on what truly ignited the chaos.
According to Young, it all started when Eminem wrestled with the idea of casting Carey in his 2002 movie, "8 Mile". Young wasn't too jazzed about it, suspecting trouble loomed on the horizon. But, Carey, whose music career was cooling off in the late '90s and was eager to dip her toes into acting, saw it as an opportunity and agreed to a phone call with the rap legend.
Although it seemed like a Hollywood fairy tale - a young Eminem and the established diva playing mother and son - Carey felt a bit uneasy. With only a four-year age gap between them, she just couldn't shake off her insecurities. And voila! A potential feud was born.
The Script Flip
In the end, Kim Basinger, rather than Carey, ended up nailing the role as Eminem's on-screen mother. With a 19-year age difference, she was nearly perfect for the part. Eminem's real-life mom, Debbie Nelson, was just 18 when she gave birth to Marshall.
Though many still point to this incident as the catalyst for the ongoing drama between the "Monster" and the "Hero," the duo's interactions didn't end there. Quite the contrary, apparently Carey was the one pursuing Eminem, even traveling to Detroit to meet him. As the story goes, their private conversations took a steamy turn while en route to L.A following their New York chat.
