Their lyrical feud seemed to be sparked by Eminem, but Carey was quick to respond.
And in 2002, he added Mariah Carey to the list.
The relationship (or lack thereof) between Eminem and Carey is messy.

With so much he-said, she-said, it’s hard to separate truth from fiction.
According toComplex, the musicians allegedly dated briefly in 2001.
What you, Mariah?

Fly through twice."
Carey, however, denied the implication that the two ever had a sexual relationship.
But in 2009, Eminem was a bit more direct.

In “Bagpipes from Baghdad,” the rapper says, “Mariah, what ever happened to us?
Why did we ever break up?”
I mean, I really want you bad, you c***.
Nick, you had your fun, I’ve come to kick you in your sack of junk."
You a mom and pop, I’m a corporation.
I’m the press conference, you a conversation."
