Eminem slams Mariah over relationship

Eminem has hit out at Mariah Carey over the couple's relationship in 2001.

Carey has denied that the pair were dating, telling TV presenter Larry King the following year: "I hung out with him, I spoke to him on the phone. I think I was probably with him a total of four times. And I don't consider that dating somebody."

However, the rapper contradicts the story, and made his feelings clear on the matter during a recent radio show: "Yes, me and Mariah did have a relationship for about a good six, seven months. It didn't work. I wasn't really into what she was into; our personalities collided. She's a diva, and I'm a little more regular, I guess."

He added that he was hurt at her comments, and felt it necessary to bother twisting the truth: "I can never deny her talent, but the fact that she denied we ever had something, that's bad."
