And Finally

Eminem lets Mariah go

By | Published on Friday 20 August 2010

Eminem has decided to put his feelings for Mariah Carey behind him, so that they can both get on with their lives. Which is big of him. He claims that they were once lovers, which she denies.

The whole thing has been going on for some time, with Eminem referencing Carey in various songs, including one released last summer, ‘The Warning’, which contained samples of voicemail recordings the rapper claims were left for him by Carey during their relationship. Carey in turn has released two songs seemingly referencing Eminem (though not by name), including ‘Obsessed’, which is about a man who claims to have had a relationship with her.

You may remember that Carey’s husband, Nick Cannon, got a bit annoyed after Eminem included the line “Mariah, what ever happened to us, why did we have to break up, I want another crack at ya, Nick Cannon better back the fuck up, I’m not playing, I want her back, you punk” on a track from his ‘Relapse’ album, ‘Bagpipes From Baghdad’. There was some to-ing and fro-ing, in which both sides generally denied anyone had said or done anything.

In a new interview with Vibe, Eminem said: “You know what? I got to be honest. I really don’t want to talk about her any more only just because it’s kind of like the last thing I said about her was on ‘Cold Wind Blows’ [the opening track from his recently released ‘Recovery’ album]. I made the comment [“Take a look at Mariah next time, I inspire you to write a song”], [but] I don’t want to keep beating a dead horse. I’m not even going to comment about it. I’m done with that whole situation. I said what I had to say. I’m done”.
