ONE is a controversial rapper, and another is a princess of pop, but they have one thing in common – their feud.
Slim Shady star Eminem and Dirrty singer Christina Aguilera have had a beef with each other for quite a few years, and we’re here to explain why.
What is Eminem and Christina Aguilera’s beef?
The infamous feud started in 1999 when Christina commented on Eminem’s personal life during the MTV special, What A Girl Wants. She claimed that Eminem had married his longtime girlfriend, Kim, in a secret ceremony. Christina jumped the gun by dissecting some of Eminem’s lyrics indicating violence, which she claimed were also about Kim.
Eminem retaliated immediately. He is known for talking about his enemies in his songs – Xtina soon felt this wrath. The Michigan rapper included some scathing lyrics aimed at her in his hit 2000 song, The Real Slim Shady.
He rapped: “Little b***h put me on blast on MTV’ Yeah, he’s cute, but I think he’s married to Kim, hee-hee.’ “I should download her audio on MP3 and show the whole world how you gave Eminem VD!” Eminem brought her up in another song: Off the Wall, featuring Redman.
Christina hit back with a song of her own. The star’s track, Can’t Hold Us Down, from her 2002 album, Stripped, featured lyrics that read: “So what? Am I not supposed to have an opinion? “Should I keep quiet just because I’m a woman? “Call me a b***h cause I speak what’s on my mind. Guess it’s easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled.”
After the contentious beef continued for a couple of years, it seemed like Eminem and Christina had buried their hatchet at the 2002 MTV Music Awards when she had to present him with an award.
It seemed like the two had let things rest for years, but that changed in 2018 – when the rapper mentioned Christina again in his track, Kick-Off.
What has Eminem said about the beef?
Eminem has never spoken about Christina in an interview. However, as mentioned, he dropped her many times in his songs.
When he reignited the feud in 2018, he rapped in his track, Kick-Off: “F**k Christina with a plastic spoon … While I bump some G-Funk and blast some Snoop.”
Eminem continued: “‘Cause her double g-cups are massive, huge!
“It’s fun for me just to grab a boob.”
What has Christina Aguilera said about the feud?
In 2019, Christina appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and discussed what Eminem had said about her in his track, Kick-Off.
She told the talk show host: “Yeah, I mean, that’s real thirsty. I don’t know what’s going on there.
“That’s really in the past and, you know, it was thirsty then; it’s thirsty now.
