Mariah v Eminem: round 10


"And I was like, why you so obsessed with me?" That's Mariah Carey, kicking off her song Obsessed, allegedly one long diss directed at Eminem. She never dated him, it was nothing, he needs to let it go – this is the gist of the song. To reinforce this point, she dresses up as the rapper in the video. But Eminem cannot let it go.

In new track The Warning, leaked today, the Detroit rapper lays into both Carey and her new husband Nick Cannon, liberally applying a series of nasty adjectives for roughly three and a half minutes. No one really comes out looking that great in this bitter feud, but it's Cannon we feel sorry for. If neither party can move on from an alleged relationship said to have happened in 2001, there must have been some deep feelings between them. Either that, or they've both got a new album to promote.

WARNING: explicit lyrics.
