AceShowbiz - Nick Cannon still has a lot to say about Eminem. During his interview with Vlad, the rapper and TV personality reveals that one of his diss tracks against the Detroit star, "Used to Look Up to You", was actually about 50 Cent.
"It's more about 50," he said of the track. "It's more about other rappers whom I'm like, 'Dawg, I have so much respect for ya.' " This prompted the interviewer to ask whether the "d**k riding Marshall Mathers" was about Fiddy, to which Nick answered, "That was clearly about 50, and a lot of his fans and a lot of his people" who took Em's side.
"Used to Look Up to You" was included of Nick's recent mixtape "The Miseducation of the Negro You Love to Hate". On it, "The Masked Singer" host rapped, "N***s out here tweeting like they been a savage/ D**k riding on Marshall Mathers/ Had to put on my turban like I'm Aladdin/ N****s out here cappin' black lives matter."
Nick and Em's beef reignited in late last year after the latter dissed both him and his ex-wife Mariah Carey on his collaboration with Fat Joe. Nick then released a diss track against the "Rap God" rapper, accusing him of giving an oral sex on a chauffeur. Em has since denied the claim and remained quiet after that, despite Nick unleashing several other diss tracks against him.
Elsewhere during the interview, Nick dished on the reaction of his oral sex claim. "Some people were saying I was being homophobic. I was like, 'I'm not scared of him sucking d**k. There's nothing scary about it, if that's what you like,' " he insisted. "I was like, 'Bring all your boyfriends to the show. Come to the show muthaf**ka."
