He wanted Mariah Carey as a mother in “8 Mile”
Eminem wanted Mariah Carey as his mother in “8 Mile” – she is only a few years older.
Although she is only four years older than him, Eminem (52) wanted Mariah Carey (56) to play his mother in “8 Mile” (2002). At least that claims that “Damizza” Young (51) he managed Mariah Carey at the time and also knew Eminem, whom he once knew with his mentor Dr. Dre (60) had brought together. Accordingly, Eminem Young asked if he could get him into contact with the singer – he wanted to win her to win her autobiographical film.
According to Young, Mariah Carey initially rejected a meeting. However, when she learned that it was about a film project, she was said to have consented. After her music career was abbot at the end of the 1990s, she supposedly wanted to try in the cinema.
Although he initially hesitated, arranged Damion Young finally a telephone conversation between the two superstars. Eminem revealed that Mariah Carey should play his mother. “She didn’t like this shit at all,” said Young. And: “Your uncertainties fully put in”.
Kim Basinger instead of Mariah Carey – “Glitter” instead of “8 Mile”
Ultimately, Kim Basinger (71) embodied the mother of the rapper Jimmy inspired by Eminem in “8 Mile”. With an age difference of 19 years, the Oscar winner fit almost perfectly to the figure. Eminem’s real mother Debbie Nelson (1955-2024) gave birth to her son at the age of 18.
Mariah Carey made the film “Glitter” instead of the celebrated drama “8 Mile”. The strip was torn down by the criticism and ignored by the audience.
“She hunted him, not he”
Despite everything, the contact made by Damion Young had followed between Eminem and Mariah Carey – and is considered the trigger of years of feud between the two. Again and again the rapper claimed that he had a relationship with the singer and even threatened to publish allegedly clear voice messages from her.
Mariah Carey, on the other hand, always played a liaison. Their relationship was purely professional – even if there was never a cooperation.
Damion Young also has something to say about this cause in the podcast. “She hunted him, not him,” claims the producer. He allegedly visited the rapper with Mariah Carey in his home Detroit. This is said to have occurred sexual acts between the stars.
