Mariah Carey Breaks Silence on Longstanding Feud with Eminem

Summary
- Carey reluctantly discussed her feud with Eminem on a TV show
- Producer claims Eminem wanted Carey to play his mom in 8 Mile, sparking the beef
- Carey says she "really doesn't care" about the feud anymore

In a recent appearance on a TV show, pop diva Mariah Carey reluctantly addressed her longstanding feud with rapper Eminem. The two music stars have been at odds since the early 2000s, with Eminem claiming they had a brief romantic relationship that Carey has denied.
According to a music producer, the root of the Carey-Eminem beef may have been Eminem's attempt to cast Carey in his 2002 film 8 Mile. The producer said Eminem wanted Carey to play the role of his character's mother, despite being only four years older than him. Carey was reportedly not pleased with this idea, and the producer believes this sparked the ongoing feud between the two artists.
When asked about this claim, Carey acknowledged there may be truth to it, but said she "really doesn't care" about the situation anymore. She seemed reluctant to discuss the feud in-depth, stating that "whatever he's said, then I'm that, fine."
The Carey-Eminem rivalry has played out publicly over the years, with Eminem referencing Carey in several of his songs and Carey appearing to respond on her own tracks. However, Carey now seems ready to move on, insisting she no longer cares about the long-running dispute.
