Is Mariah Carey finally responding to Eminem’s recent diss track? The lyrics of her new tune “Obsessed” have some saying “yes.” In the song, Mariah sings, quote, “Why are you so obsessed with me/Boy I wanna know/Lying that you’re sexing me.” Mariah also makes references to the man having drug problems, which Eminem recently opened up about experiencing. “Obsessed” is Mariah’s lead single from her forthcoming album “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.” The disc is due out August 25th. Mariah’s “Obsessed” song comes just weeks after her husband, Nick Cannon, posted a one-thousand word blog blasting Eminem’s new tune “Bagpipes From Baghdad.” The track featured Em calling Mariah a “whore,” and telling Cannon, quote, “I want her back, you punk.” Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey tied the knot last year in the Bahamas after a whirlwind romance. Eminem previously claimed he dated Mariah for several months back in 2001, a claim that Mariah has denied.

It seems Eminem isn’t happy with one of the stunts from last night’s MTV Movie Awards. During the presentation of the award for Best Male Performance, “Borat” star Sacha Baron Cohen, clad in nothing more than a toga thong and angel-like wings, descended from the ceiling via suspension wires. Portraying his character Bruno, Cohen landed upside down in Eminem’s row of seats with his rear-end in the rapper’s face. Eminem appeared less-than-amused by the stunt. Cameras caught the rapper demanding that the comedian get out of his face, using a string of FCC-banned adjectives to get his point across. Eminem then got up and walked out of the auditorium, entourage in tow. Cohen’s stunt came after Eminem performed two songs from his latest album “Rehab,” his first new album in four years.

                    Eminem Opens Up About Drug Addiction

It seems Eminem’s new CD “Relapse” comes from his personal history. The rapper talks about his own battles with drug addiction in the upcoming issue of “Vibe” magazine. Em admits he “almost died” after overdosing on methadone, and notes that at one point he was taking between ten to 20 Vicodin per day. The rapper adds, quote, “Now that I understand that I’m an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.” Em says he’s been sober for a year now. His newfound sobriety has him feeling like “a little kid” when it comes to his music. He notes that in his early days, rap was his “drug,” but at some point it stopped making him “high,” which resulted in his turn to prescription pills. Em says that now, quote, “rap’s getting me high again.” The issue of “Vibe,” which features Eminem on the cover, hits newsstands May 19th. Eminem’s “Relapse” is the rapper’s first CD in five years. It also hits stores on May 19th. Currently, three tracks from the album are available on iTunes — “Crack a Bottle,” “We Made You” and “3AM.” A new song, titled “Old Time’s Sake,” will be released on iTunes Tuesday.
