The conflict between Cannon and the Slim Shady rapper originated in 2009 when the rapper dissed Cannon\u2019s ex-wife <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/mariah-carey\/\" id=\"auto-tag_mariah-carey\" data-tag=\"mariah-carey\">Mariah Carey<\/a> and took aim at Cannon on \u201cBagpipes From Baghdad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cHe disrespected my woman, man,\u201d Cannon recounted during an appearance on <em>On Par With Maury Povich<\/em>. \u201cYou can\u2019t come at my wife and don\u2019t expect to get this work.

Eminem claimed that he was involved in a romantic relationship with the singer for a few months, which she has denied. He subsequently referenced her on several songs, including \u201cWhen the Music Stops\u201d and \u201cSuperman.\u201d In 2002, Carey seemingly referenced the situation on her song \u201cClown,\u201d singing, \u201cYou should\u2019ve never intimated we were lovers\/ When you know very well we never even touched each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn 2006, Eminem reignited the feud on \u201cJimmy Crack Corn,\u201d which included the lyrics \u201cYour mind\u2019s on us like mine\u2019s on Mariah\/ And y\u2019all are just like her, you\u2019re all fucking liars.\u201d He then called out her and Cannon on \u201cBagpipes From Baghdad.\u201d At the time, Cannon replied to the song in a since-deleted blog post, writing, \u201cI thought we got past the days where white men could spew vulgar obscenities at our beautiful queens and get away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tCannon released a series of diss tracks taking aim at Eminem in December 2019, after he and Carey had divorced. These included \u201cThe Invitation,\u201d \u201cPray for Him,\u201d and \u201cCanceled: Invitation.\u201d The following year, he explained his intention in an interview with <em>Billboard<\/em>. <\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ editors-pick-module lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cI was defending myself once again,\u201d Cannon said. \u201cHe keeps bringing it up for decades.

Even in high school, I was a little guy, but if you made fun of me, I was gonna make fun of you, your momma, and that\u2019s the same energy of <em>Wild \u2018N Out<\/em>. It was a month of social commentary, but if you\u2019ve ever heard me speak on this matter, I always give that dude his props as an icon in hip-hop. I think he knows better now.
