Don’t mess with Eminem. Whether it’s about something he said in public or the quality of his music, the popular rapper is not keen on receiving criticism. There are certain artists and celebs who, for whatever circumstances, got on the rapper’s radar. Not long after they usually end up in his lyrics painted in an unflattering light.
Eminem has a long history dissing others in his songs. These songs can even end up having huge repercussions on those he targets, putting some out of a job. It’s time to look at celebs Eminem dissed and ended their careers, along with others who just may end up closing the book on Marshall Mathers’ long career.
Mariah Carey
Eminem and Mariah Carey went on some dates, but now they’re at odds and have been for a long time. Over the years, Eminem has dissed Mariah in lyrics and even played old messages of her supposedly saying, “Why won’t you see me?” While Eminem’s career has stayed strong, hers went down the drain (Throwbacks).
Ja Rule
Was it really Eminem or was it choosing to exit the Fast and Furious franchise that hurt Ja Rule’s career the most? After singing about Eminem’s daughter, Ja Rule got dissed by the rapper in songs such as “Like Toy Soldiers.” That song came out in 2004, just before Ja Rule went on hiatus.
Nick Cannon
When he was still with Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon stood by his woman at the time and traded barbs with Eminem. He even went after the rapper on his record The Great Adventures of Slick Rick. By putting himself in the crossfire, Nick ended up getting roasted by Eminem in plenty of song lyrics (HipHopDX).
Joe Budden
Joe Budden is busy these days being a father and having a podcast. He used to rap though, and Eminem may have something to do with the fact he doesn’t anymore. Budden talked smack on Eminem’s album Revival. That in turn led to Eminem rapping unfavorably about Budden on the song “Fall.”
Machine Gun Kelly
Eminem has been going at it with Machine Gun Kelly for some time. Alt Press reports that Eminem threw shade on MGK with the song “Not Alike,” which kicked off a back and forth diss battle between the two. While the past may have favored Eminem more, now some are siding with MGK such as Young Thug. On Instagram, he called MGK, “The one guy that murdered ‘M’.”
