Long before Eminem and Mariah Carey dissed one another, they were rumored to have dated. Her producer, Damizza, recently revealed that their romance was sparked by Eminem’s request that she play a specific role in his legendary movie 8 Mile.
He recounted his initial reaction to Slim Shady’s request for a meeting on the TFU Podcast: “I’m not getting in the middle of that. I know how this ends.” He also claimed that Carey had declined a meeting with the Detroit rapper before learning about the film.
Nonetheless, she eventually agreed to meet him, so Damizza facilitated the arrangement. “The first thing out of [Eminem’s] mouth is, ‘I want you to play my mother,’” he recalled of the meeting. The “We Belong Together” singer seemingly didn’t take it well, as Damizza said, “Her insecurities kicked in big time.” However, he wasn’t prepared for where things would go between the two.
Damizza told the TFU Podcast that the professional meeting was the catalyst for their long-rumored romantic relationship, with Mariah Carey being the one doing the courting. “It was her chasing him, not him chasing her,” he said. “Next thing I know, we are at Eminem’s house… and they disappear. The second they went into his room, literally, I was like, ‘I’m going back to LA. There is no point of me being here.’ It went from business to f**king.”
This is an interesting revelation, as Carey ended up not appearing in 8 Mile and has also denied the two ever being romantically involved. Eminem, however, wouldn’t let her deceive the people. His 2009 track “The Warning” was a response to her song “Obsessed,” which many believe was targeted at him. “Wow Mariah, didn’t expect you to go balls out/ Bi**h shut the f**k up ‘fore I put all them phone calls out/ You made to my house when you was Wild’n Out before Nick/ When you was on my d**k and give you something to smile about,” he rapped.
In another part of the song, he added “Listen, girly, surely you don’t want me to talk about how I nutted early/ ‘Cause I ejaculated prematurely/ And bust all over your belly and you almost started hurling/ And said I was gross, go get a towel, your stomach’s curling.”
