Mariah Carey, 56, has stoked the flames of a dormant feud with Eminem, 52. Carey claimed that there’s truth to the rumor that her beef with the Grammy-winning rapper started when she was tapped to portray his mom in the 2002 autobiographical movie, 8 Mile. “From what I heard, there is truth to that,” Carey said in the segment “Plead the Fifth” on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “Did that ignite the beef?” asked Cohen, 57. “No. I mean, maybe,” Carey responded. Producer Damion “Damizza” Young put out the rumor in June that Carey was asked to portray Eminem’s alcoholic mom. “Her insecurities kicked in big time,” Young said on the “TFU Podcast” given she is only four years older than him. Young claimed that’s when their romance began, which Carey has denied. “I think I was probably with him a total of four times,” she told Larry King in 2002. “And I don’t consider that dating somebody.” However, Eminem claimed in 2003 that he had “long, gushy” voicemails from the “Obsessed” singer, which she didn’t exactly deny. “I don’t know what the hell he’s doing. It’s a little excessive. Doesn’t it seem a little bit girly? Like we’re in a catfight,” she told New York Daily News.
