During the June 4 episode of the TFU Podcast, music producer Damion “Damizza” Young claimed the “Way I Am” rapper, 52, wanted Carey, 56, to play his mother in 8 Mile, despite the five-time Grammy winner being just four years his senior.

Eminem hit Mariah Carey where it hurts roughly 25 years ago — and we finally know how. The two A-listers' famous feud dates back two decades, though the cause of their clash remained unknown until music producer Damion "Damizza" Young seemed to spill the tea during a recent appearance on the "TFU" podcast.

The 52-year-old rapper, real name Marshall Mathers, who is only four years younger than Carey, took on the role of aspiring rapper B-Rabbit in the Curtis Hanson film and intended Carey to play his alcoholic mom Stephanie. The part was ultimately played by Kim Basinger.
