Mariah Carey Spills The Tea On How Her Feud With Eminem Started Anyway

Mariah Carey and Eminem have taken multiple public jabs at one another in the media and on their respective albums.

Mariah Carey is setting the record straight ― well, sort of ― with regard to her alleged feud with Eminem.

The pop diva stopped by Watch What Happens Live this week to promote her new album, Here for It All.

During the interview, the conversation took a particularly spicy turn when host Andy Cohen asked if the so-called beef between Mariah and Eminem started when the rapper asked her to portray Stephanie Smith, a character inspired by his real-life mother, in his 2002 autobiographical film, 8 Mile.

“From what I heard, there is truth to that,” the Grammy winner replied. “But I don’t think that he actually... well, who knows who approached who.”

True to form, she appeared to get slightly flustered when Andy pressed for more details before shrugging off the question entirely.

“It depends what he’s thinking,” she said. “I really don’t care. Like, whatever he’s said, then I’m that, fine. Not really. But that’s a rap lyric.”
