If President Obama still has some Bud Light in the fridge after his “beer summit” Thursday to defuse racial tensions, he might want to mediate an even bigger crisis: The escalating feud between Mariah Carey and Eminem.
Long after the stars may or may not have had a brief romantic entanglement, they have been sniping at each other in song. In the latest development, Eminem on Thursday released a new track “The Warning,” in which he goes into explicit — often embarrassing — details about their alleged fling in 2001. (Carey has said it never happened.)
“Enough dirt on you to murder you,” Eminem says in one of the mildest lines on the song, which also targets her husband of 15 months, singer/rapper Nick Cannon.
“Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures? However you prefer to do, and that goes for Nick too. Faggot, you think I’m scared of you?”
After firing out various insults at the couple, Eminem threatens to release voicemails she left for him, and then a Carey soundalike is heard making romantic utterances. Eminem does at least hold out an olive branch of sorts at the end, offering to call a truce.
His song was a direct response to Carey’s new single “Obsessed,” which comes from her forthcoming album “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.” Carey’s song does not mention Eminem by name, but the object of the song is described as being “delusional” and “fired up with your Napoleon Complex.”
“Why you so obsessed with me? Boy, I wanna know,” she sings. “Lyin’ that you’re sexin’ me when everybody knows it’s clear that you’re upset with me.”
In the video, she plays both herself and a goateed stalker in a hoodie, which Eminem in his song took to be a representation of him. Carey has said that it is no one in particular. Coincidentally or not, a remixed version of the video features rapper Gucci Mane sporting a medallion with the number “1017″ (Eminem was born on Oct. 17).
Eminem, whose caustic tirades against celebrities such as Britney Spears, Moby and Jessica Simpson, are eagerly dissected by his fans, ignited the firestorm with a song on his recent album “Relapse.” In the tune “Bagpipes from Baghdad,” he called Carey a “whore” and Cannon a “punk.” Cannon responded with an angry blog, and Eminem uncharacteristically appeared to back down when he told a BBC interviewer that one of the lines was “a little harsh.”

- Posted by Quentini am with mariah, she’s the best. i never hated eminem, but he’s just so insecure at this point; for this issue. it’s too childish of him, which i sympathized about. for mariah, you are always loved and whatever you do is admired. go on girl and be not afraid to be happy. to hell with what they (he) say. keep up the good work and continue to make songs for the people who love you… eminem and eminem fans: grow up!
- Posted by emmanwell done Mariah, fight fire with fire. EMINEM has dissed everyone (not just her) in his songs and its got everyone talking and love him or hate him you know his lyrics if not his songs. I DIDN’T like Mariah carey at all until I heard this song (obsessed), I think it shows a diffrent side of her, she’s got sense of humour! I don’t think it matters if they did or didnt have a relationship, its controversy and thats what sells.
(hope i spelt this right I did re read it but I know how us eminem fans can be isn’t that the “truth!” hahaha)
- Posted by illiterate MnM fanI think Mariah is an old sluttie who marreied a young talentless rapper( no one else would marry this bitch)there is a question here: why eminem is so obsesed about a relationship about 8 years ago? because she is a goddamn lier. and that’s why eminem is pissed off.
- Posted by A.PI’ve come across fans of many different artists and I’ve reached the conclusion that fans of eminem are the least decent of people. They seem to be brainwashed and instead of loving their idol they seem to worship him. eminem’s fans seems to be retarded: you know he takes your worship for granted, right? seriously, and they all seem to be very rude regardless of the situation-eminem related or not!
- Posted by anonymousi think this a pointless fight and eminem needs to retire bcuz he gettin too grumpy mayb he startin menopause

- Posted by orientalEminem is ugly botoxed trash! All his fans are retarded and can’t spell. He needs Sasha C’s arse in his face again - AND he’s ashamed that he’s GAY!! Go be a man and take your racists fans with you. MARIAH is THE BEST SELLING ARTIST OF ALL TIME! FACT! So go do your research and learn to spell, read and write. Eminem is botoxed trash and has little man syndrome! FACT!
- Posted by Truth!Ahahahahaha - i love eminem. dear god i want his babies.
- Posted by PJi would have to say that by the sounds of it Mariah did have history with Eminem, but too princessy not to admit to it. HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT A PIECE OF EMINEM!
jesus - feel flattered the guy wrote about her in his lyrics! its publicity. any publicity is good publicity!
and if she did do stuff with him- that does suck. coz shed taint him. shes so talentless & self-obsessed. blugh.
Always loved Mariah but, Eminem got her nicely…
- Posted by Doesnt matter‘The Warning’ is a talented release, the disagreements are pointess however, it puts more excitement in the music.
Who cares if they did or didn’t do anything? Mariah’s a fool for lying about the sex… It was 8 years ago, sex isn’t a biggie. It isn’t like she cheated on Nick so why lie…
This is just more evidence that Eminem has really fallen off. Mariah Carey?! Seriously! That’s who he’s beefin with? A female R&B singer.
Eminem has to realize that he was too old for the teen angst when he started, so it’s really tired at this point. Artists use beef to substitute for lyrical content and ability. It’s sad to see Eminem play himself like this, he really WAS a talented MC.
And isn’t it kind of embarassing to write a song about premature ejaculation? When I first heard Em’s diss I thought this ain’t half bad. Then when I listened closely I thought, this dude really is obsessed. Who saves voicemails for years? Even he admits that in six months he only slept with her once. Mariah must have turned his ass out. Pathetic.
- Posted by Granitei believe eminem .. he wudn’t be sayin’ this if it wasn’t tru if yuu listen to all his older songs yuu’ll realise he speaks to truth in all of them wot the ell has mariah done to mek us believe her .. he even gt evidence (voicemail messages) for gods sake and she still sayin’ it nt tru .. am sorry but i fink mariah is a stuck up slut and her hubby cn do a lot better!!!
- Posted by katieSad 2 say oh girl and her hubby nick…going through whatever it is ya’ll going through…this lil beef is pointless..!!! kick rocks wit dis one…and move the hell on…who even does that…so what mariah made a song bout his a** N***s not worried bout dat…and what my n**** GUCCI!! have to do with it…and why should she feel somebody obsessed with her…Mariah!!! your time is up…stop screaming on these lil songs and go be Nick’s wife.
- Posted by 7*Mz.Pooh Babbii*7To be honest i know my opinion really doesn’t matter but for them to be going back and forth like that is very childish and that is coming from a fifteen year old. They should all put this behind their backs.
- Posted by Mariannagucci mane? seriously? thats wack on its own, who listens to that guy anyway, this “beef” is funny
- Posted by XMariah Carey is a retard!
- Posted by LmaoNobody likes her, shes an old prunne cant believe shes still famous.
Im with Eminem.
Plus, Mariah Carey isn’t even nice to her fans. She doesnt even sign autographs for them.
It’s a waste if anyone’s a fan of Mariah Carey.
She is a retard!!!
he ripped mariah carey and nick cannon another a**hole!!! nick is soooo weak and even if he tried his hardest theres no get back after this song…. I would just leave it alone!!!!
