The epic musically expressed feud between Eminem and his maybe ex-hookup, Mariah Carey, will never die – at least until Eminem finds another ex to fixate on for years. Here’s some quick background – Mariah and Eminem supposedly hooked up way back in late 2002, which Mariah denies, saying they were just friends. Each of them is thought to have referenced the relationship in several songs, with Eminem mentioning Mariah by name occasionally and Mariah just referring to some tool who’s obsessed with her. (Here’s some background on their back and forth, and it’s by no means complete.)
The last we heard in this saga, Mariah’s husband Nick Cannon was calling Eminem racist for lyrics dissing his wife on his latest album, and Mariah was calling Eminem “delusional,” “lying,” and “so so lame” in the song Obsessed from her upcoming album. She possibly even mocking Eminem in the video, in which she cross dresses and dons a goatee and hoodie. (Mariah never names Eminem, but it’s pretty clear who she’s singing about.)
Never one to let an old dusty feud go, Eminem tries to threaten Mariah in his latest rap, saying he has plenty of evidence that they indeed had a relationship and that he’ll release phone messages and photos. (By the way, the source article is wrong that the feud just began “earlier this year.” It goes way back to at least late 2002. Mariah’s song “Clown” on the album “Charmbracelet” is thought to be about Eminem, and Em’s 2003 song “Superman” is thought to reference her.)
Eminem and Mariah Carey are at it again.
On Thursday, the rapper debuted a new song, “The Warning,” slamming his ex and going into full detail about a sexual encounter they once had.
“Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me. Now I’m pissed off,” he says before he starts his rap.
“You wanna hear something wick wack?/ I got the same exact tattoo that’s on Nick’s back,” he says, referring to Carey’s husband Nick Cannon.
Eminem also blasts Carey for mocking him in her latest music video, “Obsessed.”
“Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee?/ Wow Mariah, didn’t expect ya to go b—s out./ B—h, shut the f— up before I put all those phone calls out/ When you was wilding out/ Before Nick, when you was on my di–,” he raps.
He then threatens to reveal personal pictures he has of the Carey. “Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?” he asks.
The feud between the two began earlier this year after Eminem namedropped Carey in the track “Bagpipes From Baghdad” from his latest album Relapse. “Mariah whatever happened to us / Why did we ever have to break-up?” he rapped. “Nick Cannon, you better back the f— up. I’m not playing, I want her back, you punk.”

Eminem, if that sh*t really happened it was over six years ago. Move the f on already. He’s obviously pissed off about Mariah’s song “Obsessed,” but he also knows that keeping this stupid thing going will get him headlines. It’s working and we’re talking about him. I like Eminem’s music and think the guy is talented, but he really has some deep-seated issues, especially with women, and needs to grow up. At least he quit doing drugs.
Update: Here’s the song. It has f-bombs and is NSFW. It’s way worse than I thought. Eminem says he was with Mariah for six months, calls her an alcoholic, and says he only had sex with her once. He also talked about uh, losing his business on her stomach at one point. This guy has no shame.
And here’s Mariah’s “Obsessed”
