Nick Cannon, Where’s the Beef?

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey

Last week, Wendie wrote about the supposed feud that’s been brewing between Nick Cannon and Eminem over some lyrics in Eminem’s new single “Bagpipes from Baghdad” and a few wet and wild comments he made about Cannon’s wife, Mariah Carey, on his satellite radio show. Cannon had initially posted a blog entry on his website, basically calling Slim Shady out for fisticuffs. But now he’s saying that in spite of his harsh words towards Shady, there is no feud between the two of them.

“I felt like I said what I had to say,” Cannon said. “I didn’t take [the post] down, like, ‘Oh, somebody instructed me to do it’ or anything like that. It was just one of those things, like, I said it.”

As for the real reason he took the post down, Cannon said it had to do with the traffic to his Web site, which “pretty much crashed my site. There’d be thousands and thousands of comments and people couldn’t leave comments on other posts or any of that stuff. So that was the only reason why I took it down.”

And while noted that he doesn’t have any regrets about what he said — “I feel exactly the same way by it and stick by everything, but I think it’s one of those things where it becomes that it’s not really that big of a deal, you know?” — he did say he has no beef with the MC.

“I never even considered it as beef,” he said. “It’s not beef. It’s just, Hey, I heard the record. I said what I had to say.”

So, if it’s not beef, what is it? Tofurkey? I can’t imagine that if some guy says horrible things about your wife in one of his songs and then claims to have pissed on her you would just let that drop.

  • I have a feeling Ms. Cannon asked him to drop it. I just realized that since this whole incident has fizzled there is absolutely nothing going on for Eminem. He needs to find another way to push his garbage album than bringing up MCC.

    • You got that right. This smells like a publicity trap and Nick Cannon fell right into it. Eminem is done singing about his mother and troubled life so he starts making fun of celebrities? How original. He is the first to do that since late show hosts, comedians, crappy local celeb shows, and the many blogs online including this one.

      • Then what are you doing at this online blog that makes fun of celebrities if you’re so against it? Hypocrite.

  • It also rehashes something that was probably true, someone peed on his wife. I’m sure he has enough gross things to deal with on a daily basis with that one that poor Nick just wants to forget as he rubs her corns and cries silently thinking about the divorce settlement he’s going to get eventually. He just has to.go.on.for.a.little.while.longer. Pee and all.

  • Oh Mariah. I miss your early 90’s look… without the makeup and oil! I’ll always have Daydream I guess…
