Nick Cannon knows he would never be able to battle Eminem and that’s why he’s supposedly chillin’ out on the negative posting and comments. Pop the hood for more

Nick Cannon was pretty steamed over Eminem’s brutal lampooning of the singer and his wife, Mariah Carey, in the song “Bagpipes from Baghdad, which appears on Eminem’s new LP, Relapse. Cannon wrote and then quickly took down a long blog post where he accused Eminem of being racially insensitive and “still obsessed with my wife, the same female that wouldn’t let him get to second base from eight years ago”; Eminem later said Cannon had misinterpreted the song.

Entertainment Weekly talked with Cannon on Thursday about the issue.

“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.”

Cannon went on to praise his relationship with Carey. “I feel that my relationship with my wife is one of the best things — or the best thing — that’s ever happened to me, and it has nothing to do with celebrity or this industry. It’s all about, you know, just love and finding love and being happy and respecting the union that it is.”

We knew he would back down. Someone in his camp finally got through to him: “Nick, come on man, you and Em battling. Farreal?” Fall back.

TECHNICALLY EM fell back first…. But I still think that Nick being a comedian would’ve slaughtered EM. The least we can all do is applaud him for standing up for his wife.

CHIVALRY’S NOT DEAD.

I WILL SAY ANYTHING!!!

5/24/09, 10:01:am

Leave Nick Carey alone!!

he wasnt talking bout battling, he was talking bout fuc#ing Em’s junkie ***** up! u dont dis a man’s wife. some ***** is off limits. i guess we se so few marriges in our communities nowadays, we dont know how to act anymore.

dont worry abt it

5/24/09, 10:07:am

@ deesac

I totally agree..that’s so disrespectful. But then again its bossip…when aren’t they disrespecting everyone? Em can kick rocks n big up to nick for being the real man in this situation..I hav grown a lot more respect for him as a person. Glad they’re happy together n its good to c him value marriage..unlike many others.

Happy memorial day weekenf everyone. B safe

Uhh it was Eminem who backed off first because hes already apologised. Eminem is a punk anyway because you dont disrespect a man wife, where i come from talking about another mans wife will get you killed.

5/24/09, 11:02:am

THE REAL REASON HE FELL BACK IS BECAUSE HE PROBABLY FOUND OUT WHAT EMINEM SAID WAS TRUE. NICK CANON IS THE CORNIEST DUDE OF AL TIMES AND HE GOT REALLY LUCKY WITH AN AGING, USED, HEARTBROKEN (BY LUIS MIGUEL) MARIAH CAREY.

5/24/09, 11:22:am

eminem is a depressing lunatic who has major DSM III type issues

omg

5/24/09, 11:39:am

I found a great site …millionaire chats.com… where you have the opportunity dreaming about dating a millionaire and make it true! I thought everyone needed to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy

Speaking the truth...

5/24/09, 12:52:pm

I am upset with the hip hop community for even embracing Eminem. He disrepected our race and (regardless if it was underground mix tape) or not he overstepped his boundaries in my opinion a long time ago. 50 is no better either…he is using his money to exploit another black man’s issues (talking about rick ross) to ruin his career.

Something is wrong with both of them…and thats why Eminem had drug problems and 50 has alienated himself in the hip hop game. All stupidity.

Thats what happens when you have too much time and money on your hands.

grant

5/24/09, 12:53:pm

yeah why fight over a fake marriage anyway?

Speaking the truth...

5/24/09, 12:54:pm

Oh..I forgot…Nick handled his business like a man..he wanted to say something about the situation he did it case closed…it wasn’t about falling back…it was about making a point. He said what he had to say and left it alone instead of trying to instigate a situation.

5/24/09, 13:07:pm

Man ***** this ish!
Battling my *****. Em is like what, pushing 40 and Nick is like 27. Please!!!!
MC’s peeps got to Nick IMHO. It doesn’t look good that old girl’s(no pun intended) young squaw is beefing with a wigga(just for fun) that claims to have unloaded a bladder full of urine on her grill. Nick is being paid(IMHO) to be her temporary boo and give her the press she needs to stay in touch with her target audience, that doesn’t grow old. OUCH!
In the end you’ll read lot of press about him without her blah blah blah! You know the game. Where is that *****’s ring. Who the ***** is that chick. MC is distraught. Bo-hoo!!! de ja vu? No its hollywood.

@ Speaking the truth…

I agree with you 100%

DO THIS ***** WORK? NICK HAD HAD ON GIG SINCE HE GOT MARRIED & THAT WAS A DJ AT SOME HIGH PROFILE PARTY IN VEGAS. BEFORE MARRIAGE, HE NICK HAD SEVERAL GIGS INCLUDING MTV.

Da Winner Is!

5/24/09, 13:52:pm

Everyone is missing the point of the attack on the Cannons.
Em was trying to get a reaction out of the two to sell his cd and he suceeded. He put the bait out there, Nick bit and help promote his cd and Em dropped it. His job was done.

darealwifey

5/24/09, 13:56:pm

Kudos to Nick. He has too much at stake to get caught up in some dumb B.S. to entertain folks who never have anything good to say or do in the world.

Sometimes we are a tired race of people. Some people love keeping their minds in the gutter, and want to drag everyone else down with them. Nothin’ but the devil.

bossip is retarded

5/24/09, 14:35:pm

***** a kudos! he heard em’s album and got scared. em would of took his already irrelevant headoff. btw, i *****ed on mariah too shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
mariah pulled the leash back on nick because mariah dont want her true past to come to light.
btw em album is *****IN CRAZY!

Haters On Deck

5/24/09, 14:47:pm

Yea Mariah seems like a hoe but I doubt he pee’d on her. Em has that reputation to go after women who turned his ***** down. Example Christina Aguilera turned him down and he talked mad ***** saying she sucked his ***** and all that *****. He a bitter person I believe Mariah turned him down and he still aint ova that.

Huh?

5/24/09, 14:52:pm

That wigger would kick that n!gger’s *****!

lady_jay

5/24/09, 15:23:pm

He spoke his mind and Em said that he was sorry, why drag the crap out longer then it needs to be addressed.

The Third Eye

5/24/09, 15:55:pm

He stated what he said and Em knows better to say anything else about Nick and Mariah. It’s squashed, so Bossip quit instigating *****.

april

5/24/09, 15:57:pm

how can you say mariah is a w***** with no proof she has never been betrayed that was except by people who dont know her nick did not back down he said he stood by every word the blog crashed uts good to see two cl*****y black couple in love who sticks by one another

LOL

5/24/09, 16:33:pm

No offense but…

“I feel that my relationship with my wife is one of the best things — or the best thing — that’s ever happened to me, and it has nothing to do with celebrity or this industry.”

Bull***** Mr. Carey. You took it down cause you were told to by someone. You were right up until you started talking that kung fu ***** and the “racism” banter. As for MC, Mariah used to be hot back in the day, when she actually sang a song. She can barely hold a tune now. You both need to stay in your play boxes and go away.

Regardless u dont ignore beef like Ricky Ross presented to Eminem (on a silver platter by the way) and go at Nick Cannon…for what??? I joke on lil Nicky all the time but cmon now he a bizness man. He holds his own. Its not more than what Mariah has but he doing something.

Nick Cannon is hella’ $$$$$$$ independent. Hell, this guy MADE Nickelodeon!!! He doesn’t need Mariah’ for shizits bucks! If anything, he’s helping her to hang on to her duckets!

She’s TOTALLY blessed to land a guy who’s smart, loving, genuine and caring enough not to mistreat her. She should be [and probably is MORE THAN] pround to be MRS.CANNON!!!!

Nick is no Mr.CARREY Bossip, so flip the dumb *****, OK?!?

WITH ALL THAT DRAMA,I THOUGHT NICK WAS PROMOTING HIS ALBUM.(WHY REGGIE DIDNT SAY NOTHING TO EM)

5/24/09, 21:34:pm

Eminem is an obnoxious and highly overrated s*****bag.His lyrics are just full of hate of people he envies. Maria is a thousand times more talented than him. He has been promoted by the whites although white people have no idea about rap music.And I am surprised that Bossip should take his side against Nick and Maria Cannon.Nick Cannon has a decent career and is not a poor man.There is no need for Bossip to disrespect him. Rather Eminem , this sociopath, is the one deserving contempt.And he is a crap rapper,built up by a white media.

One Nut James

5/24/09, 21:54:pm

***** the white boy; all he wants to do is to gain PR by a public beef. I guess that is the new PR strategy for come up or come back. Nick did the right thing and that was to ignore the h*nkie, because it was not beneficial to him monetarily or rep wise.

awesome

Black Men Are Weak

5/24/09, 23:41:pm

Black men call Nick Cannon weak and a p@ssy because Nick stands up for his woman-hell he married his woman and doesn’t have any children out of wedlock or killed anyone lately.

Most brothas have no idea what it means to be a man. Em is a man for having beef with women (Cristina Aguilera, Mariah and others) while Nick is considered weak. This speaks to the mindset of this generation’s Black male that has been raised on rap music that disrespects women.

God bless Mariah for having a man who knows what it means to be a man.

Btw, remember a few years back when Em was caught on tape calling Blacks porch monkeys LOL? He still pimpin’ you *****s and making y’all bow down to his whiteness. The white man always wins cause the Black man doesn’t have the guts to kick his azz. He won’t even stand up for his own community or even his own wife and kids- just sad.

@ Black Men Are Weak,

Mariah eats Nick.

But Seriously, I agree with standing up for your wife.
Em is a little white piece of snot; I know white boys like him, I use to kick their *****es back in the day.
I respect Nick. I stand by any person that stands up for the one they love

eminem know that nick cannon and mariah carey are a hot item. and he did that for the publicity being that he just released a new album. whatever happened between the two of them if it did, he should leave it in the past

5/25/09, 15:01:pm

@Black Men are Weak, I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing…..Sad isn’t it, Love a FOOL that actually dislike’s their dumbazz’s…..AND disrespect’s a Young Black Man that is trying to do Big & better things and humble while doing it. What can you say about a generation that knows absolutely nothing about the good or real things in life..Not good music, not good fool, not good time (w/out killing’s) NOTHING…..so sad, ppl if you’re letting your kids watch BET, MTV, U-Tube, VHI, etc… STOP IT…..It’s BRAIN DAMAGE IN COLOR……….

I thought I was the only one that wasn’t outraged when Nick said what he had to say… Like a man, he stood up for his woman, didn’t like her being disrespected. Good on him. A lot men can take a lesson.

I’ve always been skeptical of their relationship. To me it just looks like this sad, aging, insecure rich ***** sugar mama, and her happy young stud, reaping all the benefits… But the more I hear about Nick, the more I think he really is a stand-up brotha.

5/27/09, 02:13:am

lmfao @ “mr carey”! good wun bossip. of corse nick fell off(and back). ya kno how ice cube said it “i aint a hater like u, bow down 2 a ***** whos greater than u”. nick jus tryna act hard cuz evrabody kno he aint *****. only time i ever heard eminem say ‘*****’ wuz n dis unreleased song i found while browsin da limewire. it wuz called “beyond average”. but em wuz apparently hella yung back then an da song iz so lyrical he gets a p*****. an “foolish pride” wuznt dissin black women n general, it wuz eminem dissin da chic he wont name n “yellow brick road”. of corse my hunch iz it wuz dat black gurl he talks about on “maxine” (from da unreleased “infinite” lp) altho if im wrong so wut. da reel reezon nick deleted his post iz cuz he knew he cant c eminem physically or lyrically. an eminem got betta ***** ta do than ***** wit a joke actor (not ta b confused wit ‘comedian’ or ‘great entertainer’). hell he cud make a song like “cana*****” (look 4 it..good unreleased eminem cut) an make it about nick. an wut wud nick do? cry about it like he did on his blog? he aint boutsta make a diss song about slim shady. how do i kno? 2 thangs: he aint a tru rapper (rappin unfunny punchlines on ya childrens show “wild’n out” dont count kid!) an em wud eat nicks *****(slang phrase fo ‘lyrically beat da ***** outta him’) wit his eyez closed. pleeeez, itd b like a stand up competition between bill cosby and katt williams. bill good an all but katt iz wunna da funnyest *****z n da world. ok maybe bad example. but my point iz eminem wud mop da floor wit nick an he kno dat. anotha thang iz how come mariah aint takin offense? i presume she aint cuz if she did, she can fo herself. she dont need nick ta hav his hand up her ***** and talk fo her like a ventriloquist. i kno i found “bagpipes from baghdad” humorous. song iz *****in tight. da israeli(or wuteva middle eastern ***** it sposta b) accent wuznt rilly needed but itz funny how eminem can rap wit funny voices an not ***** up on his rhymes. sho he cuda tryed it many times ta get it rite but y not jus rap wit his reel voice? itz a purdy dumb fake accent but otha than dat a good song.

The only reason Nick back off is because that Slim Lamly already ***** up and said that he was sorry for saying what was said, So again Nick acted like a Man and stop the madness from getting out of hand. So Nick you go boy, now if only others can take a notes from this gettleman!!

5/27/09, 23:40:pm

Bossip reminds me of TMZ–always disrespecting Nick & Mariah. Like someone else stated he is the “real man” for taking up for his wife & knowing when to end such foolishness. I hope that everyone would take up for a spouse if he/she was being disrespected. Keep thinking Nick is corny–he’s smiling & making big business deals behind the scene laughing all the way to the bank. Why hate on someone who obviously loves & respects his wife? To me, he is a positive role model for both the young & old. I respect a man who loves & respects his wife & is not afraid to show it or let people know it. As for Mariah not being able to sing anymore, the woman just made 1.5 million dollars for singing 4 songs recently. More than any of us will see in a life time. So, again, who’s laughing all the way to the bank & is very happy with her young husband? Would people be happier if Nick was like K-Fed or Bobby Brown–once they got married they stopped trying to make their own money & improving themselves? I hope not.

Nick Cannon is a straight square I cant see how Mariah does it she must really cant find sxxx else. Nick will never compare to E’s spittin game cause he’s wack as hell and he just need to chill out and be happy he wit MC. It wont last too much longer she just a little desperate.
