Eminem has a “Warning” for Carey and Cannon.

Rapper Eminem has been known throughout his entire career for his “disses” on fellow celebrities. The first single from his comeback album “The Relapse” lampooned Britney Spears (again) Jessica Simpson and teen heart throb Joe Jonas to name but a few. Another track on the album “Bagpipes from Bagdad” he went after pop diva Mariah Carey, with whom he claims to have had an affair way back in 2001, something that she has repeatedly denied. And that track seems to have ignited a new beef for Eminem to become embroiled in.
Most people took the video for Carey’s single “Obsessed” to be her response to the 36 year old rapper. In the video she dresses up as a hooded stalker and the lyrics in the song seem to be directed right at Slim Shady with lines like “Why are you so obsessed with me / Boy I wanna know / Lying that you’re sexing me/ when everybody knows / it’s clear that you’re upset with me.” Officially Mariah denied that the song was directed at anyone in particular and any resemblance that characters in her video had to the Detroit rapper were purely coincidental.
Those who thought that would be the end of the issue clearly does not know Eminem very well. A song called “The Warning” has begun making rounds on the internet and from its content it seems like Eminem is not going to let this one go.
In the new track Eminem takes on Carey and Nick Cannon, her much younger comedian husband who is the current host of “America’s Got Talent”. “You probably think since it’s been so long, if I had something on you I woulda did it by now,” he raps on the unofficial track, and continues that he has “enough dirt on you to murder you.” Most of the rest of the song, in typical Eminem style, unprintable, but he also alludes to photographs and voicemails he “still has”. He concludes by suggesting Nick Cannon tell his wife to “shut her mouth or else.”
Spokespersons for Carey and Cannon had no official comment to make about the song on Friday but on Twitter, Nick Cannon still seemed to be up for more, tweeting “This ain’t checkers, this is chess.”
Whatever happens next it seems that Eminem, who had not been seen in public for three years before his new album dropped in May 2009, has not mellowed with either age or his new sobriety.
