Marshall Mathers has reached out to Nick Cannon on Tim Westwood’s radio show after Cannon’s recent blog about his problems with Eminem.
“There’s a line on there that was a little harsh. It’s a harsh line. … But it’s like this, the way I look at it: I had no idea he was gonna take it like he took it. I had no idea Nick Cannon was gonna start wildin’ out on me. No pun intended.”
“I heard about some of the things he was saying. I didn’t read his blog or anything. But it is what it is. He’s supposed to defend his wife, and I expected him to do that. But at the end of the day, it’s a line I said; it’s a song. What I actually meant to say is, I wish them the best. That’s what I meant to say. That’s the whole message of the record,” he added.
He went on to say that he hopes it doesn’t escalate to a battle between the two.
It took less than 24 hours since the leak of Eminem’s highly anticipated comeback effort Relapse to generate some controversy. Nick Cannon has taken issue with Eminem’s “Bagpipes From Baghdad,” which takes shots at Cannon and his wife, singer Mariah Carey.
