Bro never got over Mariah.
She really was denying everything that was told from when I had watched the episode on the podcast. Eminem was telling the truth and it shows there’s women who really care so much about their reputation who will lie about stuff they don’t want anyone to know about knowing how much it could ruin their image
Why you so obsessed with me?
Shade lol
Mariah look way better than his mom 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
eminem wants mariah carey to play his mother anytime 😂
He’s the one obsessed. WOW.
She’s only 3 years older than him? How was she supposed to play his mother?
this producer has told other stories about Mariah during that time, alleged personal stories and said they were in a relationship. I think he's a bit delusional and scorned.
She was 33 years old and he was 30, and Mariah always had a sense of humor, i don't believe she was offended or insecure about Eminem's "offer".
Why you’re so Obsessed with me 😅
Kim Basinger was perfect to play the inspiration for Eminem’s real-life mom. Let’s be serious.
🙄
he's bitter cause she dumped him.
Madonna would.
It's giving obsessed 😂
So he's really obsessed by Mariah ❤😂 love them both hahaha
Lawd, Eminem LET IT GO! PLEASE 🙄😒😢🥴
Why was he so obsessed with her? Oh oh!
Btw she looks nothing like him to play his mother, in order for it to look realistic😂
God he really is obsessed 😂 And what about Da Brat's story that he j*zzed his pants just from being in the same room as Mariah?! 😂
I love love love Mariah but no matter how much beef she had with EMNM I cant hate him. I actually think he is a good person. Well at least better than Diddy
Even if Mariah did have a relationship with m&m's..why the need to make it public things that should've been private????
Yes he was bitter because mariah didnt want to acknowledge his presence. Why cant he just move on????? Its been years, why would he still cry about it???
Whyyyy still obsessed about mariah???
