Eminem: Yes I dated Mariah
Eminem has admitted he did have a fling with Mariah Carey - and I can reveal he raps
bitterly about her on his No 1 album. In one of pop's weirdest romances, Em dated the
troubled singer as her relationship with Latin crooner Luis Miguel began to fall apart.
At the time both camps strenuously denied an affair between the stars. But now Eminem
has confirmed they dated and has poured his heart out in two tracks, Superman and When
The Music Stops, on his new album, The Eminem Show.
Eminem revealed: "There is truth to the story. Now I respect her as a singer but on
a personal level I'm not really feeling it. I just don't like her as a person. I learned
a lesson from it - don't believe the hype. She doesn't really have it all together." In
typical Eminem style, he doesn't hold back with his feelings in the two telling tracks.
On Superman he rants: "Bitch if you died, wouldn't buy you life/ What you tryin' to be,
my new wife?/ What you Mariah? Fly through twice/ But I do know one thing though/ Bitches
they come, they go." And in When The Music Stops he says he would rather get hooked on
drugs than get back with Mariah. He raps: "What the f*** you take me for? A joke? You
smokin' crack?/ Before I do that, I beg Mariah to take me back."
Stories of a romance between the pair surfaced a month before Mariah suffered a nervous
breakdown last summer. She had met the rapper to discuss working together but increasingly
turned to him as her three-year affair with Luis crumbled. The pair had a series of dates
at LA's posh Sunset Marquis Hotel. Their romance hit the rocks after just a few months
as Mariah's mental health deteriorated, culminating in her suicide bid. The final straw
came when Eminem refused to work with the troubled diva on an album.
