Eminem and Mariah Carey had one of the most epic celebrity feuds that resulted in shady lyrics, diss tracks, and denial. It all started over 20 years ago in 2002, and while it was always thought to be because of a failed romance,

During the June 4 episode of the TFU Podcast, music producer Damion “Damizza” Young claimed the “Way I Am” rapper, 52, wanted Carey, 56, to play his mother in 8 Mile, despite the five-time Grammy winner being just four years his senior.

The 52-year-old rapper, real name Marshall Mathers, who is only four years younger than Carey, took on the role of aspiring rapper B-Rabbit in the Curtis Hanson film and intended Carey to play his alcoholic mom Stephanie. The part was ultimately played by Kim Basinger.
