The Mariah Carey and Eminem feud: a look at their controversial history
Mariah Carey and Eminem have had a notable and controversial history, marked by a high-profile feud that began in the early 2000s.
The conflict started when Eminem referenced Mariah Carey in his song ‘Superman’ from his 2002 album The Eminem Show, leading to a public exchange of barbs.
Carey responded with her track ‘Clown’ from her 2002 album Charmbracelet, and their feud continued to make headlines.
In 2009, Eminem took another swipe at Carey in ‘The Warning’, to which she responded with the single ‘Obsessed’, featuring a music video where she impersonates Eminem.
The rivalry, while highly publicized, showcased the artists’ distinct approaches to addressing personal conflicts through their music.
