Nick Cannon Reflects on Eminem Feud After He Dissed Mariah Carey: ‘You Can’t Come at My Woman & Not Expect to Get This Work’
Cannon dropped a trio of diss tracks on Slim Shady in December 2019.
On Monday, Nick Cannon joined the On Par With Maury Povich podcast to discuss his past feud with Eminem, which began when Slim Shady dissed Cannon's ex-wife, Mariah Carey, in 2009. Cannon stated, "He disrespected my woman, man. You can't come at my wife and don't expect to get this work." The two had a professional relationship, but Eminem's words in 2009 upset Cannon, leading him to fight for his relationship with Carey.
Cannon and Carey were married in 2008, and Eminem's comments in 2009 suggested that he may have had a romantic interest in Carey at one point. Cannon addressed Eminem in a deleted Tumblr post, and Carey's response came in the form of her "Obsessed" song. Eminem responded on "The Warning" in July 2009. The feud continued after Carey and Cannon's divorce in 2016, with Cannon releasing three diss tracks in December 2019, including "Canceled: Invitation," which criticized Eminem's past remarks.
Eminem didn't respond directly, but in January 2020, he posted a brief reply on X. Cannon spoke about the ongoing feud during an interview with Billboard in April 2020, stating that he is defending himself against Eminem's accusations and that he respects Eminem as a hip-hop icon.
