Nick Cannon Blasts Eminem for Mariah Diss in New Song

Nick Cannon lashes out against Eminem for picking on his wife on new leaked track
Enlarge picture
Nick Cannon is known in the industry for anything but his aggressiveness, but that’s not to say he can’t unleash hell if someone picks on his wife, Mariah Carey. The most recent post on his personal blog stands as proof for that, Cannon ripping rapper Eminem into (virtual) pieces for dissing Mariah in one of his tracks off the “Relapse” album and even challenging the rapper to a confrontation, although he fails to specify what type of confrontation that would be.

Eminem’s “Relapse” got leaked on the Internet over the weekend, a little over a week ahead of the official release. Somehow, Nick Cannon managed to get a hold on a copy, listened to it and was extremely unpleased about Eminem still rapping about his short-lived relationship with Mariah, who has been Nick’s wife for the past year. As a matter of fact, Cannon got so upset that he spared no words in letting Eminem know just how wrong he was when he wrote that track – and how sorry he’ll be once he deals with him face to face.

Cannon calls Eminem’s “Relapse” mediocre and boring, until he reaches the track where he’s taking a hit at Mariah. Then, he finds himself with two angel and demon-like figures perched on either shoulder, and at a loss as regards whom to listen to. “No Nicholas, there is no need to play into his negativity. He is just a troubled soul yearning for the lost spotlight. You must be Christ like and turn the other cheek.” Cannon writes, as if “quoting” the angel. The demon then adds, “What Nigga?! Is you scared?! You can’t let no man ever disrespect your wife! Especially not some Peroxide drenched homophobic has-been! This is like some Paquiao vs. Hatton [expletive]! He is underestimating you with his [expletive] out and you can drop him in the first round!” Cannon continues by saying.

The singer is not upset, however, about the references Eminem makes to his own person on the track (including some lines about him being a gold-digger), as he is that he dared take on someone as talented and universally loved and appreciated as Mariah is. “This so-called man has just disrespected and slanderized one of the world’s most significantly influential artists, one of the most notable BLACK females of our time, the incredibly cherished, globally loved and world-embraced woman of color, Mariah Carey!” Nick says.

Consequently, he invites Eminem to take a swing at someone his own size – him, in this case. “Holler at me on some grown man [expletive]. Man to man, let’s meet up and deal with this like adults. This is my invitation to you, whenever and wherever you like sir. So when you come out of your introverted hiding place and ask your bodyguards if you can go out and play by yourself, I’m here Pimp! because I guess it’s going to take a corny, wack rapping, boy toy from Nickelodeon to set you straight.” Cannon concludes by saying.

As of now, Eminem has not responded in any way to Nick Cannon’s challenge of solving this “man to man.” 

*Update: Since the time of writing, Nick Cannon has deleted the blog post in which he makes the comments mentioned above.

Listen here. Eminem, is a million times better then you will EVER be , YOUR THE HAS-BEEN! , Nicilodian ? , realy ? .. come on ! . The only reason your SLIGHTLY famous, is because your married to Mariah! Which is CLEARLY why you married her ! Honestly, Em makes fun of EVERYONE in his songs. HES JOKING! , Anyone with half a brain can tell when he's joking and when he's serious. I think you need to grow up. Yea, he made fun of Mariah . So ? You're looking for attention, thats why your trying to start stuff, for more publicity. I think you need to put down the mic, and walk away. You're NEVER going to be HALF the star Eminem is. I think you should maybe take a PERMINENT vacation from your "stardom." , kthanksbye.

What the hell? Who is Nick Cannon? Oh, Mariah Careys husband! Well that gives him every right to slag off Eminem doesn't it....not. And Eminems a has-been is he...the guy just had two top-ten hits, the first going to the top of the Hot 100 and so did his album. Has been? He has 2 of the greatest rap albums of all time, both of which will be influential and clever for decades to come. Lyrical masterpieces. Nick Cannon married someone! No way! He is so talented! Back off Nick Cannon you nobody. He said that Mariah Carey is one of the world's most influential artists? OMG. Does the guy even know what influential means? The musical and lyrical quality of "Obsessed" is downright s***. Her old stuff was catchy and decent but it was not "influential". Her music does inspire young girls to become singers but they never amount to something, and most just end up dressing like sluts. Plus, If Mariah carey writes her own songs then I'm George Bush.

Mariah Carey = Pop diva. Amazing voice, nothing more. Had huge commercial success but she is just pop and not anything more than a pretty face.

Nick Cannon = ??? Her husband???

Eminem = One of the greatest hip-hop lyricists of all time with 2 of the greatest rap albums ever and one of the most distinguishable voices and flows of all time. Despite being white, he is the highest selling rapper of all time and has milestones like "Stan" and "Lose Yourself"

Persoanlly, I don't care about either party. I don't listen to their songs [except for "We Made you" by Em, because it's so damn catchy!] and I only researched the information about this because I like drama! But Korean and Japanese drama will always rule over these silly drama.

Em needs to chill, his song proved to Mariah's song that he is indeed "Obsessed" and Mariah needs to chill and go talk to Em about all this. She's the one being a child by trying her "best" to drop a bomb song on Em and he smacked back 10 times harder but it doesn't mean he's any better. [Okay, maby a tiny bit.]

All I'm saying.. is I don't know what. I would probably be more into Em if he music wasn't rap, it's just not my cup of tea. But as a person, he seems pretty cool.

And Mariah.. uhm.. I actually rarely heard her name until.. three weeks ago. So, I guess she shouldn't have made that silly video and ignored Em.

Nick Cannon. Never heard of him before. Cannon makes me think of the camera though. He tells Em that they should meet like adults or whatnot? Mariah is an adult too. She's almost, what, freaking 40? "Oh, she's a woman, she can be childish." Woman need to be mature too. [I'm 18 so I still have.. a year a half left, right? -cry-]

Comment #5.1 by: dudus on 28 Sep 2010, 21:20 GMT

Jen you sound like a dumbass. Whats wrong with nick taking up for his wife. Any good husband would do that. The stament he made is warranted. Nick knows what he's talking about. Mariah is half black. You seem like you need to get a life.


Comment #6 by: Kam on 04 Aug 2009, 16:14 UTC reply to this comment

OMG, people are so stupid for going off on Nick when all he was doing was defending his wife. Women that are married should understand that, so stupid for praising such a loser. A man that disrespects a woman like he has is not a man at all. Some many people are glorifying what he has done, but if it was your business all out in the public you would be feeling totally different. I believe someone of you are happy that this has happen because of plain jealous. I commend Ja Rule for jumping to her defense and calling EMINEM A “CHICK”. What will he do if a guy disses his daughter like that once she old enough to date. I use to be a fan of his work but he has gone too far. He is only making money from dissing someone else not using skill or talent. America thrives or ignorance and stupidity. EMINEM NEEDS SERIOUS HELP! DETROIT PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE, HE NEEDS TO CHECK IN. I FOUND THE NUMBER FOR HIM (313) 874-7500, please give him this number. He needs the help because he is so bitter and I do not want him to commit suicide. MARIAH YOU STILL ROCK AND NICK KEEP DEFENDING YOUR WIFE MAN. NICK YOU ARE THE MAN NOT EMINEM.

you people defending eminem are punks. I don't care who you are if you diss someone wife it's owdn. And if your a husband and you don't throw down for your wife your sorry. F@#k em I would do the same thing that Nick is doing and call out em and have it out like a man.


Comment #8 by: jnb on 07 Aug 2009, 23:54 UTC reply to this comment

Eminem is washed up... he was never that great, he just had laughable lyrics. Both parties need to grow up and not be threatening... Mariah played into, too. Everyone's guilty.

Comment #10 by: some dude on 25 Aug 2009, 00:14 UTC reply to this comment

For nick to play the race card was stupid especially the peroxide part...isn't mariah blonde??. To say that em's a has-been is what's "dilusional" cuz even when em isn't makin music his other s#!t is still makin money. Even rappers who don't like Em would probably wanna have him ona track just to see what he spits. N'sync laughed when eminem dissed them. They got dissed hard body but they didn't sit & cry & issue 3o'clock after school fight threats. It's funny how now they coppin pleas that the video wasn't directed towards Em. C'mon..mariah dressed as a dude ina fitted & grey baggy sweats and an oversized grey matching hoodie...who else could it be?


Comment #11 by: meez on 25 Aug 2009, 00:36 UTC reply to this comment

You wanna defend ya wife then I dig that. But I'm pretty sure b4 dis happened nick was laughin @ em's albums and every1 em was dissin including em's own wife.. whoever thinks em only makes hits by dissin ppl son to date his best song is "lose yourself" who was he dissin? Anotha song that was big was "when I'm gone" a song that dissed no1. And as for how he would feel if his daughter was dissed when she's older sorry that already happened..long time ago. And she was a child when they said what they said. Anyway..hopefully they squash all dis, mariah & em keep makin their money & nick....keeps doin...whatever he's doin.

Team Eminem!!!! What you gotta lie for Mariah, you should be happy you bagged that in the first place?


Comment #21 by: Shannon on 22 Aug 2011, 03:04 UTC reply to this comment

Okay.. well.. I must say.. I heard of Nick Cannon before and stuff, but I don't know why hes 'famous'. That's not the point. For whatever reason he married Mariah or not, the right thing to do is to stick up for your wife. I love eminem though on the other hand. His music pwns just saying.. anyways. He really did crush them in his song ''The Warning'', but tbh they all are acting inmature by arguing and fighting over something so stupid. If someone doesn't like your wife, just don't start stuff. Not everyone is going to like each other.. They were all wrong at some point, but people need to grow up. I wish everyone could just get along, but I guess life doesn't work like that. Anyways, Mariah and Eminem are both talented, and have both meaniful songs. The argument or fight is going to end sometime.. Hopefully. :) x
