The Juicy Gossip: How Eminem and Mariah Carey's Friendly Interaction Turned into a Full-Blown Feud
Eminem and Mariah Carey's film roles ignited a heated conflict between them.
Get the Tea, Y'all! Eminem's Former Manager Drops a Bombshell about the Mariah Carey Feud For decades, the world has been buzzing with the alleged beef between Eminem and Mariah Carey. But according to Eminem's former manager, it was all started by a seemingly innocent request— a movie role offer that ignited sparks.
Many speculated about their imploding relationship through hits like Eminem's "Superman" (2002) and "Bagpipes from Baghdad" (2005), and Mariah Carey's "Obsessed" (2009). However, Carey dismisses the claims of any romantic entanglement, insisting they only crossed paths professionally on a few occasions without any collaboration ever happening.
Fast-forward to 2020, and Mariah Carey's former manager, Damion "Damizza" Young, spills the beans about the controversial background of the feud in a podcast interview. According to Young, the whole drama began when Eminem asked him to connect him with Carey for a part in his autobiographical film "8 Mile" (2002). Young admits to feeling uneasy about the proposition, sensing the brewing storm.
Carey initially turned down the offer, but eventually agreed when she learned it was related to a movie project. Her decline in music popularity in the late 90s left her yearning to explore acting. Young facilitated a phone call between the two, and Eminem revealed that Carey would play his mother in the film, despite her being just four years older. "That didn't sit well with her," Young recalls, "Her insecurities came to the forefront."

Despite 8 Mile's mixed success, the contact set up by Young between Eminem and Carey set the stage for the long-lasting feud. Young also hints at some saucy details regarding their alleged encounter in the podcast. "It wasn't Mrs. Carey who was chasing Mr. Mathers," he suggests, hinting at romantic entanglement. On a flight from New York to LA, Young claims Carey requested a detour to meet Eminem. Allegedly, some intense moments occurred behind closed doors.
