According to former producer of the singer, the proposal left Mariah angry, and opened a new chapter in one of the most chaotic feuds of the 2000s
Imagine being called to interpret someone’s mother … just four years younger than you.
This was exactly the situation, at least curious, that Mariah Carey would have faced in the early 2000s. Damion “Damizza” Youngproducer and former collaborator of the singer, Eminem I wanted to Mariah play your mother in the movie 8 mile. And, as expected, she didn’t like the idea.
The revelation came during an interview with Tfu podcastwhere Damizza He said he received a call from the Eminem proposing a meeting between the two artists. At the time, he was trying to convince Mariah not accepting the role in the movie Glitterbut still passed the proposal ahead.
According to him, Mariah It only showed interest in knowing that it was a movie. The surprise came in the connection to three with EminemWhen the rapper let out, “I want you to interpret my mother.”
“She hated that. Her insecurities came with everything,” he said Damizza.
The story adds another strange (and deliciously chaotic) chapter to the already troubled relationship between the two. Despite Mariah always denied that there was a romance with Eminemnot only has it insinuated the opposite in his songs and tours, but he even released alleged voice messages from the singer in the following years.
The tension between the two yielded historical said tracks: Mariah launched “Obsessed” In 2009, with the right to satirize Eminem. He answered with “The Warning”strip filled with attacks that ended the lyrical clash.
And in the end, the role of the mother of B-rabbit (fictional version of Eminem in 8 mile) ended up with Kim Basinger. But the original idea continues to yield laughs, memes and a little shame of others to this day.
