Mariah says she wasn't intimate with Eminem
Wednesday 20 August 2003
Mariah Carey is the feature cover story of September's Maxim magazine. In the
interview jammed with photos, the singer spoke candidly about what she learned
from her nearly four-year marriage to former Sony Music chairman and chief
executive Tommy Mottola. Her advice when it comes to marriage? "Stay away
from it!" She added, "I would marry again if it were about having kids, but
other than that, I can't see myself doing it."
Carey also explained to Maxim about her rumored relationship with rapper
Eminem, and her thoughts on why he took a lyrical swipe at her on his hit
single "Superman". Eminem says in the song, "What you tryin' to be my wife?/
What you, Mariah?"
"Yeah, it happened. Did I have a sexual relationship with him? No, I didn't,"
Carey said. "I knew him, I hung out with him a few times, but nothing sexual
occurred. I'd admit it if it did, but it didn't. And that's why I was so upset
about the whole thing, because I was like, 'Look, if I had an intimate
relationship with the person that would be one thing, but... maybe he thought
because nothing happened he'd look bad or something.'"
Carey also spoke to Maxim about her sexy image. "I know I have this image
that's sexy, but I'm basically like Mary Poppins," said Carey. "That's my
nickname! I'm prudish. It's like playing dress up. When you go through difficult
stuff as a kid sometimes your childhood stays with you. I've hung onto that.
There was a period when I was in a relationship that was confining, where I
had to wear turtlenecks and long pants and that wasn't me."
Carey noted, "I broke out of that - around the same time of the Honey video,
where I jump out of the water like a secret agent - everybody was shocked. But
that was the real me coming out."
