During a game of Plead the Fifth during her Wednesday, Oct. 1 appearance onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the Songbird Supreme was asked whether she and the rapper were feuding over a role in Eminem's autobiographical movie8 Mile. "This summer, a music producer claimed the real reason why you and Eminem started beefing wasbecause he approached you about playing his momin8 Mile," Cohen, 57, asked Carey, 56. "Is there any truth to that?" "From what I heard, there is truth to that, but I don't think that he actually — Well, who knows who approached who?"

Cohen asked if that ignited "the beef." "No. I mean, maybe," Carey responded. "It depends what he's thinking. I really don't care." "Like, whatever he's said, then I'm that, fine. Not really," she concluded. "But that's a rap lyric." In June, during an appearance on theTFU podcast, music producer Damion "Damizza" Young claimed that Eminem, 52,wanted Carey to appear in8 Mileas his mother. Carey's "insecurities kicked in big time" when she was approached by the rapper for the role, which ultimately went toKim Basinger. Carey and Eminem's alleged feud dates back to whenEminem claimed that he and Carey were romantically involvedin the early aughts. "Yes, me and Mariah did have a relationship for about a good six, seven months," Eminem reportedly said on his Shade 45 channel, per the Detroit News. "[But] it didn't work. I wasn't really into what she was into; our personalities collided. She's a diva, and I'm a little more regular, I guess." "I can never deny her talent, but the fact that she denied we ever had something, that's bad," he added. Carey, however, denied any relationship between the two. "I hung out with him, I spoke to him on the phone. I think I was probably with him a total of four times," Carey toldLarry Kingduring a 2002 interview. "And I don't consider that dating somebody." Todd Owyoung/NBC In 2002, she released the song "Clown," which alludes to Eminem's relationship claims. "You should've never intimated we were lovers / When you know very well we never even touched each other," she sings. Years later, in 2006, Eminem called out Carey in the song "Jimmy Crack Corn" by name. "Your mind's on us like mine's on Mariah / And y'all are just like her, you're all f---ing liars." Bravo Many fans believe Carey took a swing at Eminem in her 2009 "Obsessed" music video, where she dressed up as a stalker in response to his past lyrics. He responded with the song "The Warning" in 2009 and called out her then-husbandNick Cannon. "I'm obsessed now? Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee," Eminem raps. "Wow Mariah, I didn't expect her to go balls out. Bitch, shut the f--- up before I put all them phone calls out you made to my house when you was wild 'n out before Nick."
