Nick Cannon Challenges Eminem AKA “Grandpa Marshall” To Lyrical Duel
There’s only one way to settle this.
I know me and Mariah didn’t end on a high note
But that other dude’s whipped—that pussy got him neutered
Tried to tell him this chick’s a nutjob ‘fore he got his jewels clipped
Almost got my caboose kicked
Fool, quit, you not gon’ do shit
I let her chop my balls off too ‘fore I lost to you, Nick
Clever eunuch pun aside, the lines seemed to highlight a brutal truth: Eminem has no interest in letting his beef with Mariah Carey go away quietly. Even after the wounds left off by the “Bagpipes From Bagdhad”/”Obsessed”/”The Warning” trifecta seemed to heal. By now, Nick has already made it clear that he’s not feeling Em’s recent shots, channeling Chris D’Elia with an unflattering impression of a geriatric Slim. As the day progressed, the Wild N Out host made it clear he wasn’t about to let things slide without issuing his own brand of challenge.
Taking to Instagram, Cannon removed his glove and issued a digital slap, all but inviting Eminem to partake in a duel. “Fat Joe album is [Fire],” writes Nick, in an IG post. “Star studded, he even did some charity work and dug @Eminem out his grave I mean cave!! LOL FLAM FLAM! BLAM BLAM! NICK CANNON!! Bring your Ass to @MTVWILDNOUT to Battle like a real legend Grandpa Marshall!!” Perhaps that really is the best matter of settling this – a rap battle, not unlike those seen on 8 Mile. Clearly, these two need to hash something out, and what better way than to air their grievances on a public, yet appropriately low stakes lyrical joust?
