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. (The Sun)
