Unveiling the Truth: Damion "Damizza" Young Spills the Beans on Eminem and Mariah Carey's Feud
Feud erupted between Eminem and Mariah Carey over movie part.
Chill, Chill! Here's the Down-low: Eminem and Mariah Carey's alleged feud has been gossip fodder for years. But their former manager, Damion "Damizza" Young, has stepped up and spilled the beans on what truly sparked the animosity. Turns out, it all went down in a bizarre casting situation.
For years, whispers of a bitter feud between Eminem and Mariah have circled the industry. They've duetted songs, traded accusations, and even released songs seemingly aimed at each other (ahem, "Superman", "Bagpipes from Baghdad", and "Obsessed"). But Carey maintains they barely knew each other, despite never having collabed. In 2009, Carey responded to the alleged relationship with "Obsessed", a single about a stalker. Fast forward four years, and Eminem responded with "The Warning", threatening to release evidence of their secret romance. After that, the air went dead.
Recently, Carey's former manager, Damion "Damizza" Young, dished the deets on a podcast. Apparently, it all started when Eminem asked Young to hook him up with Carey for his autobiographical film, "8 Mile". Young had a bad vibe about it, knowing "how this would end." Initially, Carey declined to meet, but agreed when she found out it was for a film project, as her music career had slowed in the late 90s, and she was keen to try acting. Young arranged a phone call between the two, during which Eminem revealed Carey would play his mother in the film—though she was only four years older than him. Carey wasn't keen, and her insecurities took over.
Kim Basinger instead of Mariah in "8 Mile"
Hollywood Babble Mariah Carey makes a comeback after seven years with a fresh album In the end, Kim Basinger played the mother of the Jimmy, the character inspired by Eminem in "8 Mile". With a 19-year age gap, she was near-perfect for the role. Eminem's real mother, Debbie Nelson, was only 18 when she had him. Carey starred in "Glitter" instead of the acclaimed "8 Mile". The film was ripped apart by critics and ignored by audiences, not just due to its unfortunate release date on September 11, 2001.
The contact between Eminem and Mariah that Young facilitated reportedly sparked the long-lasting feud between them. Young also straight-up said that Carey pursued Eminem, not the other way around, during the podcast. According to Young, he and Carey visited Eminem in Detroit. On their flight from New York to Los Angeles, Carey suggested making a detour to meet Eminem, and something went down between them.
